I’ve never written this sort of مضمون before. It’s a bit all over the place, so برداشت, ریچھ with me. Also my گیا پڑھا مرتبہ 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 love dress changes, usually. However, Tiana has my least پسندیدہ 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 یا 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 colors that work well against Tiana’s dark skin: blues, reds/magenta, even purple, olive, black, pale pink, یا a آڑو color. What does Tiana wear instead? Colors that clash against her dark skin: yellowish greens, oranges, tans and browns on سب, سب سے اوپر of her already brown skin, teal/turquoise, yellow, white, and yes—even مزید لیموں, چونے 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 گاؤن, gown 5/10
4. Charlotte's dress on loan 9/10
5. Tiana’s white dress from Dr. Facilier’s dream-scape with the باؤ ( it looks dated) 6/10
6. Tiana’s poufy لیموں, چونے green, yellow green, yellow wedding bayou swamp گاؤن, gown with the tremendous amount of sparkles everywhere? 1/10
7. Tiana’s سیکنڈ wedding گاؤن, gown ( the white gown, with the weird crisscrossing waist and the “X” detailing at the hips) 2/10
8. Tiana’s مالٹا, نارنگی work dress 4/10
9. Tiana’s end گاؤن, gown with the “old-woman” neckline 2/10

Tiana scores low in a lot of areas. I like her plain apparel, just fine. But the colors of it are often atrocious. Sadly, if Tiana isn’t wearing plain clothes in garish colors ( like orange), then her dress clothes are way over-the-top, and also come in unflattering colors ( 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 سب, سب سے اوپر of a lime-yellow- green color in the bayou گاؤن, gown 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 colors taken from Austin Powers's backdrops. I'm not kidding. Go look that up, and کریں تصدیق 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 سکرٹ, گھیرنا ( 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 گاؤن, gown ( excessive sparkles, a cape, and a weird, off-center slit up the leg) 1/10
6. Spring گاؤن, gown from Frozen Fever ( less sparkly, a darker چیتی, نیلگوں ہرا color, and the flowers 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 love the سکرٹ, گھیرنا 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 بلاؤز, کمری 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 love the سب, سب سے اوپر چولی, آنگی to her rag dress, even if I could pass on the skirt) 7/10
2. Her signature yellow and dark blue چولی, آنگی گاؤن, gown ( 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 love them, and I don’t really hate them. They’re just…eh. They’re مجموعی طور پر boring to look at, basically.
1. Belle’s blue and white out-and-about dress 6/10
2. Belle’s “Something There” گاؤن, gown ( It’s rather too dark a گلابی color, and it looks like a nightgown and a bathrobe کی, بیتھروبی combination because of the single big stripe down the middle of the چولی, آنگی and the skirt, plus the ruffled سکرٹ, گھیرنا hem) 4/10
3. Belle’s green گاؤن, gown which is an exact copy of the “Something There” gown, now only in green 4/10
4. Belle’s سونا ball گاؤن, gown ( It’s signature سے طرف کی now, but yellow is not my پسندیدہ 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 LOVE her wilderness dress with her mother’s ہار 10/10
2. Not fond of her winter uniform 5/10
3. Not especially thrilled with the white cream گاؤن, gown 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 گاؤن, gown ( I like the bodice, and the lavender/ cream color) 8/10
3. Her wedding گاؤن, gown in Tangled Ever After ( I love 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 چولی, آنگی on the peasant dress even if I don’t like the سکرٹ, گھیرنا so much 8/10
2. Aurora’s blue birthday گاؤن, gown ( I love 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 گلابی گاؤن, gown ( I don’t real like dark گلابی colors; I don’t usually like pink, unless it looks مزید 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 شال ( 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 چیتی, نیلگوں ہرا hunting dress 10/10
2. Merida’s “Shooting for My Own Hand” dress ( I hate the pearl details, I hate the سونا border, I hate the wimple, and yeah, this dress is WAY TOO TIGHT. I love it, when Merida ruins it!) 1/10
3. Merida’s dark navy dress from the end of the movie with the tartan plaid ( I LOVE this dress, and the Saxon Dogs border along the hemline of the skirt. I love the teal-greenish under-dress, too) 10/10


3. Cinderella
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 گلابی dress from her mother, fixed سے طرف کی the mice, before it is destroyed 9/10
5. Her signature silvery گاؤن, gown with the choker ( I LOVE 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 گاؤن, gown ( I love the details, and I can tolerate the dark گلابی color because of the design) 8/10
5. Her father’s armor 10/10
6. Her “Heroine” uniform ( This one is especially BELOVED سے طرف کی me. It’s simple and it’s lovely, because it has no sparkles; it looks mature, the colors are paired really well with one another, and Mulan can still اقدام around in it; it’s not constraining) 10/10


1. Ariel
Well, she’s at the سب, سب سے اوپر for reasons that seem to first evoke nostalgia, but upon deeper inspection, probably are because of the following:
The colors 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. آپ end up focusing مزید on her character, and on her adventure, and on who she is, rather than constantly being distracted سے طرف کی 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 رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا گاؤن, gown ( People complain endlessly about why the گلابی 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 گلابی is a “coral pink” and it resembles the inside of a شنکھ, گلاس روز 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 گاؤن, gown isn’t so totally poufy in the skirt, like Tiana’s bayou گاؤن, gown 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 گاؤن, gown (How much do I LOVE 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, یا a weird “X” around the hip area like Tiana’s wedding dress does. Basically, this dress is so simple-looking, آپ 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 overskirt, اورسکیرٹ on the gown. The چولی, آنگی 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 مزید and مزید poufy and sparkly. Adding capes and gloves and so forth, just seems to complicate and clutter the outfit for me. Some people think, the مزید آپ add, the مزید something is improved. Actually, the مزید stuff آپ add, the worse it gets visually. If any one of آپ studied art history, آپ probably noticed the drafts/sketch drawings that the painters did before they created their masterpieces. The sketches usually are simplified, and when آپ see the masterpieces in full, the original simple lines are STILL SEEN in the paintings themselves! This pulls the eye to اقدام 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 تبصرے 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 LOVE 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, یا 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 مزید sparkles in their gowns, to looking much مزید child-like and less mature. This is very much why I absolutely loathe the DP redesigns, سے طرف کی the way....

Well, now I have explained myself. *Thanks everyone and prepares herself for lots of تبصرے 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 شبیہ picture, is an actual drawing that I did, myself.

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

Many thanks for reading, if آپ did manage this article! Until اگلے time...
