Retro Royalty: Concept and Plan

I'm still slowly working on my 18th Century Belle project, I hope to get some real progress done on my stays this coming week, but have been thinking about a second project this time inspired by mid 20th century vintage-style fashions!

I would like to create vintage looks inspired by the most iconic outfits of my favorite Disney princesses. Unlike the 18th century Belle project, I will likely only create one or two outfits per character instead of their entire movie wardrobe. The outfits will be based on fashions from the 1920s through the 1950s depending on what I think suits the character the most. I will focus on the traditionally animated princesses first. Here is a list of the traditionally animated Disney Princesses:

• Snow White
• Cinderella
• Aurora
• Ariel
• Belle
• Jasmine
• Pocahontas
• Mulan
• Tiana

I will not necessarily make outfits for all of these princesses, but it's fun to come up with ideas for them. 

The first princess I have a really great idea for is Ariel. She's also the first princess alphabetically so maybe I'll go through these in alphabetical order!

Ariel:

• Purple and green gathered-front, keyhole dress with fitted skirt and bottom ruffle

Aurora:

• Pink (going for the pink version kills me a little but makes sense if I am doing a blue Cinderella dress too) long sleeved off the shoulder dress with full skirt

Belle:

• Yellow ruched cocktail dress

Cinderella:

• Blue full skirted cocktail dress 

Jasmine:

• Turquoise lounging pajamas

Mulan:

• Dark blue/light blue wrap dress with red and pink sash

Pocahontas:

• Tan fringed flapper style dress

Snow White:

• Blue and yellow dress with dull skirt and puffed sleeves

Tiana:

• Green and yellow full skirted cocktail dress

I'm not sure that I'll actually make all of these, but it's fun to come up with ideas. I'll for sure make the Ariel one though, I already have fabric for some of it!
