I’ve never written this sort of 기사 before. It’s a bit all over the place, so 곰 with me. Also my views fall into the bottom minority on Fanpop…so most people will flat out disagree with me. Fine. But of the outfits each DP wears, this is what appeals to me, and what does not—in my mind.

13. Tiana

    Honestly, this girl has the most outfits, and undergoes the most dress changes in the whole 디즈니 Princess lineup. That should make her my favorite, right? I really 사랑 dress changes, usually. However, Tiana has my least 가장 좋아하는 wardrobe of all. Really, Tiana's “flapper girl” style is a hodgepodge of mismatched colors, the like of which I have never even seen before on a DP 또는 on a non-DP. ( Wendy, Alice, Jane Porter, Tarzan’s mother, Esmeralda, Megara, etc., all have a better “color palette” than Tiana does). There are certain 색깔 that work well against Tiana’s dark skin: blues, reds/magenta, even purple, olive, black, pale pink, 또는 a 복숭아 color. What does Tiana wear instead? 색깔 that clash against her dark skin: yellowish greens, oranges, tans and browns on 상단, 맨 위로 of her already brown skin, teal/turquoise, yellow, white, and yes—even 더 많이 라임 green!

So...

1. Tiana’s turquoise/teal work dress 6/10
2. Tiana’s yellow work dress 6/10
3. Tiana’s brown and tan medieval 겉옷, 가운 5/10
4. Charlotte's dress on loan 9/10
5. Tiana’s white dress from Dr. Facilier’s dream-scape with the 보아 ( it looks dated) 6/10
6. Tiana’s poufy 라임 green, yellow green, yellow wedding bayou swamp 겉옷, 가운 with the tremendous amount of sparkles everywhere? 1/10
7. Tiana’s 초 wedding 겉옷, 가운 ( the white gown, with the weird crisscrossing waist and the “X” detailing at the hips) 2/10
8. Tiana’s 주황색, 오렌지 work dress 4/10
9. Tiana’s end 겉옷, 가운 with the “old-woman” neckline 2/10

Tiana scores low in a lot of areas. I like her plain apparel, just fine. But the 색깔 of it are often atrocious. Sadly, if Tiana isn’t wearing plain clothes in garish 색깔 ( like orange), then her dress clothes are way over-the-top, and also come in unflattering 색깔 ( neon/lime green). Plus, her dress clothes are “dated”-looking, and they feature some really ostentatious details that make me cringe.

In my estimation, which differs from everyone else here on Fanpop, Tiana’s wardrobe collectively is the least appealing. All of that sparkly shimmer on 상단, 맨 위로 of a lime-yellow- green color in the bayou 겉옷, 가운 is overkill. Tiana looks like a ball of sparkly iceberg lettuce. Even Naveen’s green suit looks better than Tiana’s gown, there. And why? Naveen’s suit is not so sparkly, and it isn’t so yellow-green. His suit isn’t SCREAMING at the viewer, saying “LOOK AT MEEEE!!!!” Sadly, so much of Tiana’s wardrobe is a real eyesore. Tiana has a lot of 색깔 taken from Austin Powers's backdrops. I'm not kidding. Go look that up, and 확인 it for yourself.


12. Elsa

Elsa has a very limited wardrobe, so I will assess her outfits, both in 겨울왕국 and in 겨울왕국 Fever.

1. Child’s nightgown ( Not memorable) 1/10
2. Childhood suit and 치마 ( cute and stylish) 7/10
3. Elsa's mourning outfit ( not memorable) 1/10
4. Coronation outfit ( regal enough, even if I don’t care for the cape) 9/10
5. Elsa’s ice 겉옷, 가운 ( excessive sparkles, a cape, and a weird, off-center slit up the leg) 1/10
6. Spring 겉옷, 가운 from 겨울왕국 Fever ( less sparkly, a darker 물오리, 청록 color, and the 꽃 at least make the cape less annoying to look at, but it still has that weird leg slit) 6/10

So, yes, while I dislike Elsa, the character-- her wardrobe isn’t a total eyesore. There are some things, like her ice dress, that just scream “merchandizing for selling dolls!” But on the whole, Elsa does better in her color scheme than Tiana does. And my eyes thank her for not looking like a kaleidoscope entry.

11. Anna
Happy go lucky Anna. Well… here are my ratings.

1. Child’s nightgown ( like Elsa’s, not memorable) 1/10
2. Anna's black mourning outfit ( strangely beautiful for being black layers of cloth) 9/10
3. Anna’s coronation dress (I 사랑 the 치마 and bodice, even if I hate the sleeves) 8/10
4. Anna’s adventure uniform ( I hate the fuchsia cape, but the rest is nice, and I like the details on the skirt) 7/10
5. Anna's green dress at the end of 겨울왕국 ( kind of boring blah, but the white 블라우스 is nice) 6/10
6. Anna’s outfit in 겨울왕국 Fever ( Cute and sweet, and perfectly 슈츠 her sunny disposition, with the sunflower pattern. I like sunflowers!) 9/10



10. Snow White

She wears two outfits in the movie, basically. So rating those two puts her here….

1. Her Rags ( I 사랑 the 상단, 맨 위로 몸통 부분, 보 디스 to her rag dress, even if I could pass on the skirt) 7/10
2. Her signature yellow and dark blue 몸통 부분, 보 디스 겉옷, 가운 ( It’s a classic, and it totally fits her, and the hair bow is a “aww” touch) 8/10


9. Belle

This girl’s ensembles are middle-of-the-road for me. I don’t 사랑 them, and I don’t really hate them. They’re just…eh. They’re 사무용 겉옷, 전반적인 boring to look at, basically.
1. Belle’s blue and white out-and-about dress 6/10
2. Belle’s “Something There” 겉옷, 가운 ( It’s rather too dark a 담홍색, 핑크 color, and it looks like a nightgown and a 목욕 가운 combination because of the single big stripe down the middle of the 몸통 부분, 보 디스 and the skirt, plus the ruffled 치마 hem) 4/10
3. Belle’s green 겉옷, 가운 which is an exact copy of the “Something There” gown, now only in green 4/10
4. Belle’s gold ball 겉옷, 가운 ( It’s signature 의해 now, but yellow is not my 가장 좋아하는 color in a dress) 5/10


8. Pocahontas This girl has the least dress changes in a 디즈니 Princess movie. So I’m including Journey To A New World in my assessment.
1. I absolutely 사랑 her wilderness dress with her mother’s 목걸이 10/10
2. Not fond of her winter uniform 5/10
3. Not especially thrilled with the white cream 겉옷, 가운 in the sequel, and I hate her bee-hive hairstyle there 4/10


7. Rapunzel
Unlike Jasmine, Rapunzel wears violet, a lot of the time.
1. Everyday dress with the sleeves ( It looks like she has “partially outgrown” this dress, because of the sleeves ending five inches away from her elbows) 7/10
2. Her coronation 겉옷, 가운 ( I like the bodice, and the lavender/ cream color) 8/10
3. Her wedding 겉옷, 가운 in 라푼젤 Ever After ( I 사랑 the detailing, even if I hate the capped-sleeves ) 9/10

6. Aurora
Dreamy dresses do fit the dreamy personality of this girl.
1. I surprisingly like the 몸통 부분, 보 디스 on the peasant dress even if I don’t like the 치마 so much 8/10
2. Aurora’s blue birthday 겉옷, 가운 ( I 사랑 this hue a lot, and though it took me a while to get used to the pointy neckline, I think it really 슈츠 her) 10/10
3. Aurora’s 담홍색, 핑크 겉옷, 가운 ( I don’t real like dark 담홍색, 핑크 colors; I don’t usually like pink, unless it looks 더 많이 like coral) 7/10

5. Jasmine
This girl favors purple and blue colors, with a splash of red. I like it, overall.
1. Regular outfit ( It's cute and sexy) 7/10
2. Runaway outfit ( It's kind of a dull color-- basically too much brown) 5/10
3. Purple engagement outfit with the light blue 숄, 목도리 ( It's lovely) 9/10
4. Red trick-Jafar outfit ( She looks great here) 9/10
5. Purple engagement outfit reappears at the end of the movie 9/10
6. Wedding ensemble ( I like it except for the neckline at the top) 8/10

4. Merida
Surprised to see her way up here? Yeah, well it turns out that while I may not be fond of Merida’s personality, I am fond of her mostly non-fussy, utilitarian, and non-garish hued clothing.
1. Merida’s signature dark 물오리, 청록 hunting dress 10/10
2. Merida’s “Shooting for My Own Hand” dress ( I hate the pearl details, I hate the gold border, I hate the wimple, and yeah, this dress is WAY TOO TIGHT. I 사랑 it, when Merida ruins it!) 1/10
3. Merida’s dark navy dress from the end of the movie with the tartan plaid ( I 사랑 this dress, and the Saxon 개 border along the hemline of the skirt. I 사랑 the teal-greenish under-dress, too) 10/10


3. 신데렐라
So much of Cinderella’s dresses are iconic. She has a lot of dresses, so I'm only focusing on just the first movie's ensembles.
1. Her childhood dress ( It's cute as a button) 10/10
2. Her nightgown ( It's really pretty) 8/10
3. Her normal everyday servant uniform 8/10
4. Her light 담홍색, 핑크 dress from her mother, fixed 의해 the mice, before it is destroyed 9/10
5. Her signature silvery 겉옷, 가운 with the choker ( I 사랑 the simplicity of it, and the silvery hue with the minimal sparkles) 10/10
6. Her wedding dress ( I like it overall, except for the crisscrossing bodice) 8/10

2. 뮬란
Big surprise that she’s up this far? Nah. This girl has clothes I would not be afraid to wear. And they aren’t sparkly, poufy, and gaudy.
1. Her pajamas ( They look like something I would wear) 9/10
2. Her everyday hanfu ( It looks comfortable) 9/10
3. Her undergarments before the Matchmaker's hanfu 9/10
4. Her Matchmakers 겉옷, 가운 ( I 사랑 the details, and I can tolerate the dark 담홍색, 핑크 color because of the design) 8/10
5. Her father’s armor 10/10
6. Her “Heroine” uniform ( This one is especially BELOVED 의해 me. It’s simple and it’s lovely, because it has no sparkles; it looks mature, the 색깔 are paired really well with one another, and 뮬란 can still 옮기기 around in it; it’s not constraining) 10/10


1. Ariel
Well, she’s at the 상단, 맨 위로 for reasons that seem to first evoke nostalgia, but upon deeper inspection, probably are because of the following:
The 색깔 are paired well, and aren’t garish.
The outfits don’t look dated/old.
The sparkly stuff is kept to A VERY REAL MINIMUM-- only appearing ONE TIME.
There aren’t any gloves.
There aren’t any capes.
There simply aren’t any tremendously poufy gowns with billowing skirts. Instead, the poufy quality stops itself part-way in the sleeves of the gowns, and then goes no further.
Ariel’s clothes are on the very simple side, and they are elegant. 당신 end up focusing 더 많이 on her character, and on her adventure, and on who she is, rather than constantly being distracted 의해 what she is wearing.

1. Her seashell bra and her signature “Ariel” green tail ( They’re iconic, have no sparkles, and are not overdone) 10/10
2. Her sail dress from Scuttle ( For “not even being real clothing,” in a pinch, Ariel still manages to pull it off, and she makes it look good) 10/10
3. Her 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 겉옷, 가운 ( People complain endlessly about why the 담홍색, 핑크 clashes with Ariel’s red hair, but here is the reason I like this color pink: IT ISN’T TOO DARK, like Belle’s and Aurora’s. This 담홍색, 핑크 is a “coral pink” and it resembles the inside of a 조가비, 조가 비 shell. I like the white underskirt’s ruffles, because it reminds me of the ribs on an “Ark” shell. Ariel comes from the sea, and this dress “is consistent” with her origin and keeps it in mind--- and I admire the subtlety 디즈니 applied here. For me, this 겉옷, 가운 isn’t so totally poufy in the skirt, like Tiana’s bayou 겉옷, 가운 is. The poufy sleeves END ABOVE the elbow, and it has NO SPARKLES!) 10/10
5. Ariel's nightgown ( It's a dark pink, and it sure has a ruffled neckline and a hemline, but it's a nightie, so I guess it's okay-ish) 7/10
4. Ariel’s Tour of the Kingdom 겉옷, 가운 (How much do I 사랑 THIS GOWN??? SO MUCH!!! It looks comfortable, while still looking feminine and lovely. It’s serviceable and doesn’t hinder movement. It looks dynamite on Ariel, and sets off her red hair so beautifully) 10/10
5. Ariel’s simple sheath (This is the one time where Ariel is seen walking in sparkles, which I’m not thrilled about, but the dress itself is very simple, and the leg slit in Ariel’s dress is not pulled way off to the side, like Elsa’s is, in her ice dress. This simple sheath, UNLIKE SO MANY other DP dresses, does not feature a cape, 또는 a weird “X” around the hip area like Tiana’s wedding dress does. Basically, this dress is so simple-looking, 당신 end up focusing on the real cause for joy at that moment: the fact that Ariel HAS LEGS, again!! I think simplicity 슈츠 visual storytelling much better. 10/10
6. Ariel’s wedding dress ( The underskirt isn’t ridiculously poufy, and it is not competing with the overskirt, 오버 스커트 on the gown. The 몸통 부분, 보 디스 has this nice sea-foam color trimming detail. The poufy quality in the sleeves ENDS BEFORE they hit the elbow, and Ariel does not have to wear gloves). 10/10

Yes. I am strange. I do not seem to like the cases where the gowns grow 더 많이 and 더 많이 poufy and sparkly. Adding capes and gloves and so forth, just seems to complicate and clutter the outfit for me. Some people think, the 더 많이 당신 add, the 더 많이 something is improved. Actually, the 더 많이 stuff 당신 add, the worse it gets visually. If any one of 당신 studied art history, 당신 probably noticed the drafts/sketch drawings that the painters did before they created their masterpieces. The sketches usually are simplified, and when 당신 see the masterpieces in full, the original simple lines are STILL SEEN in the paintings themselves! This pulls the eye to 옮기기 in a direction that takes in the whole piece comfortably. Walt 디즈니 actually did that with his animation. Closely after he died ( in the TLM), that Classic technique was still being used. But now, that feature is all but 로스트 in the “need to exceed what is there visually,” and to make it “grab attention,” and sell dolls.

    All right. So that is what is up with me and my 코멘트 on DP outfits. I may sound like a sourpuss, but that's not intentional. I do staunchly dislike the gowns on 팬팝 to which everyone else seems to shout, “I 사랑 THIS!” Simplicity and elegance seem to go together, and it doesn’t matter to me whether the movie is very old ( Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, TLM, 또는 newer, like 뮬란 and Brave). I don’t need the sparkles. The sparkles and the poufy gowns ARE OVERKILL, and are only there to sell dolls, in my humble opinion. My eyes seem to equate those princesses that wear even 더 많이 sparkles in their gowns, to looking much 더 많이 child-like and less mature. This is very much why I absolutely loathe the DP redesigns, 의해 the way....

Well, now I have explained myself. *Thanks everyone and prepares herself for lots of 코멘트 that say, well, that's interesting, but weird, and we really don't have a lot of opinions in common with yours* budumbtsss

All pictures were pulled from the internet. I claim no responsibility. They are the property of 디즈니 Inc., and are "on loan to the world." My 아이콘 picture, is an actual drawing that I did, myself.

Oh, well. Now, at least, 당신 know "why" I react the way I do. >.<

Many thanks for reading, if 당신 did manage this article! Until 다음 time...
