As I mentioned in its first part that this مضمون is for those princesses who got their wedding in original یا a sequel. I have re-imagined the gowns for all the princesses as honestly, I don't quite like the ones Disney has shown. The dresses lacks the effort as much as they deserve in my opinion. A princess wedding گاؤن, gown should be thoroughly thought through and designed. Cinderella's and Mulan's are سے طرف کی far the only wedding dress that actually fits their personality the most, in my opinion.

So here's my selection of the re-imagined wedding gowns for the remaining princesses.

1. Cinderella:

Both the wedding dresses designed for her actually fits her sophisticated and classic style. I love how she's دیا the most classic look with full sleeves with full flaired سکرٹ, گھیرنا and thin veil. When I thought of selecting wedding gowns for her, exactly these kinds came to my mind. For detailing purpose, I'm دکھانا my selection here. I think فیتا, فیتے چولی, آنگی with sheer lacy sleeves would have brought out her beauty in simplicity.

2. Ariel:

The most ill-fitted wedding گاؤن, gown ever. the overly puffed shoulders just kills everything and even a flared سکرٹ, گھیرنا also do not sit well with her petite and slender body frame. It makes her look so much shorter. I'd rather would have دیا her a mermaid skirt. Not for obvious reasons as she was a mermaid but I think it would flatter lean body structure and would give her better height illusion. Her veil is quite alright, I miss the detailing only here, I'd want to see it on her face as well in some scenes. And her sleeves needs to be of sheer fabric, both long یا short sleeves would work for her. She has beautiful hands.

3. Jasmine:
Eh, I do not like her wedding dress at all. In fact, her engagement purple dress is far better than her wedding dress. Her dress looks almost identical to Aladdin's attire which makes it even worse. There are layering and layering of opaque white sheet with the over-broad shoulder design. The veil is also opaque with her hair kind of stuck to it. Even if she were to host white and سونا combination, I'd have still chosen a free flowing structure for her free-spirited nature

But if I were to give her a wedding dress, I'd have دیا her a purple یا even soft بان dress coz it really suits her complexion and her hair looks natural against that. White just makes her look all the مزید dull. (the گلابی and blue ones are for structure and design and not color). The سکرٹ, گھیرنا would be a simple A line chiffon سکرٹ, گھیرنا and upper چولی, آنگی will have work to compliment her heavy hair. One shoulder dress would work wonders on her if her hair could be done on one side.

4. Mulan:
She looks far better in the wedding dress that she wore in her ہوم rather than the arranged wedding ceremony. The سر کے پوشاک, headgear, ہیڈگیار simply doesn't fit her and makes her look funny rather. But I understand why it was so in the movie. I like the color combination of purple and red, which is the traditional wear and how her hair is set loose with just a پھول band. Another interesting color could be golden, but in اندازی حرکت I'm not sure how it would have looked. red actually quite suits her.

5. Tiana:
The bayou wedding dress is just way off. She'd never want such a fussy dress, being so down-to-earth and practical person. Her church wedding dress still suits her better but the design could have been better. The criss-cross pattern is weird looking but i guess اندازی حرکت was limited that way. Structurally, I have دیا her straighter and satin چولی, آنگی dresses as well. She could do with some trail of the سکرٹ, گھیرنا but full length front. Also, I'd have دیا her sleeves and مزید crisper neckline than deep U cut.

6. Rapunzel:
It looks as if her purple dress was just made white with a veil on it. It isn't special in any of the aspects. I'd have دیا her lots of flowers on the dress and blush گلابی for her most sweet and warm personality. Though گلابی would take it close to her purple dress but the style should be unique enough to break the similarity. I think she can pull off a مزید uniquely flower-studded یا پھول themed dress and it would make her look like a blooming bud herself.

Hope آپ guys will enjoy! Would love to hear from آپ all, as always.

luckyPink I agree with all of them but I hv a slight different opinion about tiana. But gr8 article!

anukriti2409 ^ Thank you! Please do share your opinion on Tiana's selection, I'd love to hear it.

audreybrooke Great choices again! :D This is such a perfect idea for articles.

anukriti2409 ^thanks audreybrooke! <3

Diazdiaz95 Another lovely article! Some of those Jasmine ones are so unique and pretty for a wedding dress. All of your choices really match each princess. I agree about Ariel's dress not being so great, I've always disliked it. If you had to choose a wedding dress from the choices you've given each princess, which princesses' style (from either article) would most suit you? Just curious because they are all so nice I just wanted to know which one you liked the most or would most like to wear

anukriti2409 ^ thanks Diaz! Hmm...tough choice, since I, myself like a couple of these. I personally love Aurora's style the best, classic and simple but I don't think I have so much grace inherent in me to pull it off. Ok, I think I'd make a mix of Tiana's upper bodice in lace with full sleeves in lace too with Jasmine's A line chiffon skirt style in voluminous layers. Something in blush or pale gold. Don't think I can carry white, if I were to select a Christian wedding gown. This would suit me the best I guess. By the way, I think I'll make a poll of these too, would like to know which one fans agree with most and what would they choose for themselves :D Thanks for the idea!

wavesurf Another gorgeous article!!! <3 I'm actually one of the few people who really don't like the "mermaid skirt" because it most resembles a "pencil skirt" only with more length downwards... It's very "office/workplace-like, and cold-formal looking." And it doesn't help that it is "the go-to dress" that "nearly every bride dons" these days for her wedding. It's ubiquitous and boring by now. Also...I've watched people walk in the "mermaid dress" as the bride, and they sway/wobble from side to side... pitching against the groom, because they can't move their thighs. Er, no! I actually like Ariel's dress having the puffed sleeves, as she stands out--- whereas most of the ENTIRE Disney lineup is made up of either sleeveless gowns like Tinker Bell's dress, or has off-the-shoulder cuffs with no sleeves, or the continual full length sleeves that just continue "straight down in plain white or lace." I mean most of that is very repetitive, and even on Duchess Kate Middleton for her nuptials, it lacked the "exciting big moment" that a medieval gown sort of carries, with "the inhale-your-breath-aspect"... IMO, if you want to look like an office woman at your own wedding, I guess you can: pencil/mermaid skirts and long sleeves with no poufs are readily available and all that is required. As for gowns, my especial favorite is Danielle's "Breathe gown" from Ever After. Or Arwen's gown at "that moment" in The Return of The King when she is reunited with Aragorn. Ariel's wedding gown resembles that, somewhat, which is why I love it. I also love this... https://www.pinterest.com/pin/506936501785810865/. Like you, I never did seem to understand Tiana's outfits in the movie, because the colors were really off-putting. Especially the bayou green gown which has Tinker Bell's bodice and a sparkly lime green ultra-poufy skirt. Tiana looks a sparkly lettuce in it. Also, like you, I don't like that "X" around the waist and the hem of the second wedding dress. Just why? It's awkward...looking. But I'm kind of weird, I guess. I don't seem to like the gowns other people "gush" over. But interesting choices and a beautiful article, too!!

Diazdiaz95 ^^ You're welcome :) Ooh, that sounds pretty, I've always liked full lace sleeves on wedding dresses and the bottom and color you picked would match it well, very elegant and princess-like. Oh cool, I don't think anyone has done a poll like that before, you're welcome !

anukriti2409 @wavesurf: I agree that Ariel's puff sleeves are unique but it's just overly puffed for me. If I were to want puff sleeves, I'd rather prefer Rapunzel's one, somewhat deflated. I like her full sleeves too, but i wouldn't want it to be opaque, she has such slender, beautiful hands. I can see why Ariel too would want a skirt with more movement, as she was as free-spirited as they come but just that she has more slender frame than most, and that's why I chose mermaid skirt. What you are talking about is trumpet skirt, which closes off on knees and flairs thereon, but mermaid skirt actually has better room as it opens up from mid-thigh area, if I;m not too wrong :) I, too, don't like the too-tight-pencil look. I thought I have chosen more carefully that is between mermaid and A line. Sorry, if it doesn't come out as clear from the selection. I wouldn't want to give her that overly fitted pencil mermaid style either. Thank you soo much for appreciation, though! <3

wavesurf ^Sorry, that I'm being so...weird and disagreeable about this. I mean women of all body types have worn the mermaid skirt: tall, short, medium-- the style is "cut" so it can "flatter" everybody's "curves." That is what that design is intended to do. But I don't think it looks very pretty. At the most, the emphasis is on the sexy quality of the wearer's body. The dress is for promo shots or prom night. It's cute for a wedding, but to me it does not look "ethereal and otherworldy/princessy." The poufy sleeves lend an "ethereal" touch which ( again my opinion from seeing TONS of lace long-sleeved dresses that are all tight at the shoulder all the way down to the hands) is missing. If you don't want poufy, then I liked the drapery that falls over the arms in medieval gowns. I'm a free-spirit. I don't like those tight fitting sleeves, the extra tight fit, and the "confining aspect" that seems to permeate "the look." (I didn't like it when Elinor dressed Merida that way). I want graceful, soft, flowing, and free.... Not much of that is found in the original DP designs, and it's TOTALLY not seen on most brides these days. Oh, well. Don't wed me, then. ahahaha

anukriti2409 ^Oh please don't be sorry, i like reading your opinions. We disagree a lot, so i get to see a lot of other side of my opinions :D Ooh, i like that "puffy sleeves are ethereal"...hmm i can imagine that! hahahahaha! You're funny...don't worry, I won't wed you. I'm already happily married :D

anukriti2409 Oh, by the way, do you think Princess Diana's wedding dress was close to Ariel's own wedding dress style. i was considering that before, but somehow it's not my personal choice i guess, so I let it be. But I'd like to know your opinion on it.

wavesurf Ah... Princess Di's dress had a larger billow in the arms than Ariel's does. Okay... I will try to explain myself better. Ariel has the capped sleeve area that Rapunzel has, only bigger, but the poufy area is "a short span" right at the top of the shoulder. Whereas, Princess Di's dress poufy sleeves continues ALL the way down her arms.... If I could put the pictures side by side, you could tell the difference immediately. Ah... http://media.photobucket.com/user/NyxisNight/media/Princess%20Diana/diana-3.jpg.html?filters[term]=princess%20diana%20wedding%20dress&filters[primary]=images&filters[secondary]=videos&sort=1&o=2 ^There's also an "awkward cutt-off" at the elbow, whereas Ariel's wedding gown definitely looks quite a bit better.... http://disneyscreencaps.com/the-little-mermaid-1989/52/ I mean, have you seen Jim Henson's Labyrinth, and the gown on Jennifer Connelly? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/55521007877143188/ Even there, it's better than Princess Di's gown, because there is still some of the long-sleeved aspect before her hands are shown "prettily and daintily." I'm not saying get rid of long sleeves in the dress--- just compensate for the tightness somewhere in the sleeve and make "the flowing" aspect also "there." Oh, I'm just being really attracted to "otherworldly." ahahaha But this does enhance the "ethereal" aspect. So... in my opinion, Princess Di's dress does not resemble Ariel's because the sleeves of Di's wedding dress are simply much more "baggy" than "ethereal." Hit the sweet spot, please. I want elegance along with freedom. *now I sound vain* Oh, I can't win, lol.

anukriti2409 ^ cool! Yea, I can see how they are different. Thanks :)

Annabethandco <3 <3 <3

anukriti2409 thanks annabethandco! <3

laylastepford Also beautiful dresses again! I absolutely adore most of the choices for Cinderella, they are so gorgeous! Absolutely love your choices for Ariel as well better than her original! :D I love your top-right choice for Tiana the absolute best for hers with the one to the left as 2nd choice. I love your floral touches for Rapunzel! When did Mulan get married at home in that first picture? I missed that.

anukriti2409 ^thank you again!! OMG, i think its the best suited dress for Tiana too! I put others for more broader zone, but i thought this was perfect for her too ( top right one). Mulan wasn't shown to get married at home. She was dressed in wedding clothes to pay homage to her ancestors with Shang in the end of Mulan II.

laylastepford ^ Ah, thanks for clearing that up about Mulan 2. I like her in that oufit too. That's so neat about us thinking the same dress is best suited for Tiana! It stood out to me immediately. :)

PrincessAyeka12 I like Tiana's and Mulan's the most.

anukriti2409 ^I like Tiana's dress as well! :D

alinah_09 ...the girl in your Mulan picture looks like Kim Chiu. Probably not though.

suchadork I like mulans wedding dress but they should have put it in a bun then with the flower comb in her hair and beautiful earrings then that should be enough.

anukriti2409 ^ flower comb would have been a nice emotional touch, i agree

isabella798 I like Ariels dress because it more mermaids style
