I’ve never written this sort of articulo before. It’s a bit all over the place, so oso, oso de with me. Also my vistas 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 disney Princess lineup. That should make her my favorite, right? I really amor dress changes, usually. However, Tiana has my least favorito! 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 o 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 colores that work well against Tiana’s dark skin: blues, reds/magenta, even purple, olive, black, pale pink, o a melocotón color. What does Tiana wear instead? colores that clash against her dark skin: yellowish greens, oranges, tans and browns on parte superior, arriba of her already brown skin, teal/turquoise, yellow, white, and yes—even más lima, cal 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 vestido 5/10
4. Charlotte's dress on loan 9/10
5. Tiana’s white dress from Dr. Facilier’s dream-scape with the boa ( it looks dated) 6/10
6. Tiana’s poufy lima, cal green, yellow green, yellow wedding bayou swamp vestido with the tremendous amount of sparkles everywhere? 1/10
7. Tiana’s segundo wedding vestido ( the white gown, with the weird crisscrossing waist and the “X” detailing at the hips) 2/10
8. Tiana’s naranja work dress 4/10
9. Tiana’s end vestido with the “old-woman” neckline 2/10

Tiana scores low in a lot of areas. I like her plain apparel, just fine. But the colores of it are often atrocious. Sadly, if Tiana isn’t wearing plain clothes in garish colores ( like orange), then her dress clothes are way over-the-top, and also come in unflattering colores ( 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 parte superior, arriba of a lime-yellow- green color in the bayou vestido 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 colores taken from Austin Powers's backdrops. I'm not kidding. Go look that up, and confirmar it for yourself.


12. Elsa

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

1. Child’s nightgown ( Not memorable) 1/10
2. Childhood suit and falda ( 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 vestido ( excessive sparkles, a cape, and a weird, off-center slit up the leg) 1/10
6. Spring vestido from frozen Fever ( less sparkly, a darker verde azulado, trullo, teal color, and the flores 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 amor the falda 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 frozen ( kind of boring blah, but the white blusa is nice) 6/10
6. Anna’s outfit in frozen Fever ( Cute and sweet, and perfectly suits 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 amor the parte superior, arriba corpiño, blusa to her rag dress, even if I could pass on the skirt) 7/10
2. Her signature yellow and dark blue corpiño, blusa vestido ( 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 amor them, and I don’t really hate them. They’re just…eh. They’re en general, general boring to look at, basically.
1. Belle’s blue and white out-and-about dress 6/10
2. Belle’s “Something There” vestido ( It’s rather too dark a rosado, rosa color, and it looks like a nightgown and a bata de baño, albornoz combination because of the single big stripe down the middle of the corpiño, blusa and the skirt, plus the ruffled falda hem) 4/10
3. Belle’s green vestido which is an exact copy of the “Something There” gown, now only in green 4/10
4. Belle’s oro ball vestido ( It’s signature por now, but yellow is not my favorito! color in a dress) 5/10


8. Pocahontas This girl has the least dress changes in a disney Princess movie. So I’m including Journey To A New World in my assessment.
1. I absolutely amor her wilderness dress with her mother’s collar 10/10
2. Not fond of her winter uniform 5/10
3. Not especially thrilled with the white cream vestido 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 vestido ( I like the bodice, and the lavender/ cream color) 8/10
3. Her wedding vestido in enredados Ever After ( I amor 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 corpiño, blusa on the peasant dress even if I don’t like the falda so much 8/10
2. Aurora’s blue birthday vestido ( I amor this hue a lot, and though it took me a while to get used to the pointy neckline, I think it really suits her) 10/10
3. Aurora’s rosado, rosa vestido ( I don’t real like dark rosado, rosa colors; I don’t usually like pink, unless it looks más 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 chal, mantón ( 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 verde azulado, trullo, teal hunting dress 10/10
2. Merida’s “Shooting for My Own Hand” dress ( I hate the pearl details, I hate the oro border, I hate the wimple, and yeah, this dress is WAY TOO TIGHT. I amor it, when Merida ruins it!) 1/10
3. Merida’s dark navy dress from the end of the movie with the tartan plaid ( I amor this dress, and the Saxon perros border along the hemline of the skirt. I amor the teal-greenish under-dress, too) 10/10


3. cenicienta
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 rosado, rosa dress from her mother, fixed por the mice, before it is destroyed 9/10
5. Her signature silvery vestido with the choker ( I amor 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. mulan
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 vestido ( I amor the details, and I can tolerate the dark rosado, rosa color because of the design) 8/10
5. Her father’s armor 10/10
6. Her “Heroine” uniform ( This one is especially BELOVED por me. It’s simple and it’s lovely, because it has no sparkles; it looks mature, the colores are paired really well with one another, and mulan can still mover around in it; it’s not constraining) 10/10


1. Ariel
Well, she’s at the parte superior, arriba for reasons that seem to first evoke nostalgia, but upon deeper inspection, probably are because of the following:
The colores 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. tu end up focusing más on her character, and on her adventure, and on who she is, rather than constantly being distracted por 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 cena vestido ( People complain endlessly about why the rosado, rosa 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 rosado, rosa is a “coral pink” and it resembles the inside of a concha, caracol 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 disney applied here. For me, this vestido isn’t so totally poufy in the skirt, like Tiana’s bayou vestido 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 vestido (How much do I amor 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, o a weird “X” around the hip area like Tiana’s wedding dress does. Basically, this dress is so simple-looking, tu end up focusing on the real cause for joy at that moment: the fact that Ariel HAS LEGS, again!! I think simplicity suits visual storytelling much better. 10/10
6. Ariel’s wedding dress ( The underskirt isn’t ridiculously poufy, and it is not competing with the sobrefalda, falda on the gown. The corpiño, blusa 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 más and más poufy and sparkly. Adding capes and gloves and so forth, just seems to complicate and clutter the outfit for me. Some people think, the más tu add, the más something is improved. Actually, the más stuff tu add, the worse it gets visually. If any one of tu studied art history, tu probably noticed the drafts/sketch drawings that the painters did before they created their masterpieces. The sketches usually are simplified, and when tu see the masterpieces in full, the original simple lines are STILL SEEN in the paintings themselves! This pulls the eye to mover in a direction that takes in the whole piece comfortably. Walt disney 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 lost 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 comentarios on DP outfits. I may sound like a sourpuss, but that's not intentional. I do staunchly dislike the gowns on fanpop to which everyone else seems to shout, “I amor 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, o newer, like mulan 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 más sparkles in their gowns, to looking much más child-like and less mature. This is very much why I absolutely loathe the DP redesigns, por the way....

Well, now I have explained myself. *Thanks everyone and prepares herself for lots of comentarios 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 disney Inc., and are "on loan to the world." My icono picture, is an actual drawing that I did, myself.

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

Many thanks for reading, if tu did manage this article! Until siguiente time...
