I love the Disney Princesses. I went to Disney World a couple of years ago and practically attacked Princess Tiana. Then I praised the performer for how awesome her character is. It was not my most mature moment. But I'm ashamed of nothing.
When I saw these representations of what the costumes would look like if Disney didn't just gloss over costume design in their animation, I went back to my short days as a costume design minor in college. The artist looked for clues in the films and historical information to figure out the time periods, so she could create looks that are more realistic.
I did some digging and the artist is
Claire Hummel. She's a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and officially one of my favorite people.
