Historically Accurate Disney Princesses

Disney princesses can be apart of some of your favourite childhood memories and many young girls (and boys) love the princesses because of their elegant dresses, touching stories and incredible animation but what would the Disney princesses look like if they dress like the royals of their region and era?

The first princess or rather queen is Elsa from the movie frozen, this movie takes place sometime around the 1840s in a fictional land of arendelle (based on the real life place in Norway arendel) southwest from the Norwegian capital.

Below is a comparison of elsa’s coronation dress to the dress of a 1840s Norwegian monarch.

There are not many similarities but they seem to be going for a different look also I couldn’t find any young Norwegian monarchs so this was the best I could do. The biggest similarity is the dark colour scale. Here is a picture of an historically accurate Elsa.

If you look up Norwegian queens in the 1840s you will see how the clothing resembles what is in the movie but is ultimately very different from the fashion sported by Elsa and Anna. The traditional clothing of that era seems to be more dropped shoulders and puffy dresses. Which do you like better the original Elsa or the historically accurate version?

The movie tangled was a hilarious take on the fairytale rapunzel which is set in Germany sometime in the 1840’s (could Rapunzel and frozen be connected?) so let’s see the differences between standard German royal fashion of the 1840’s and Rapunzel.

If you really look at them and compare they are quite similar to one another, like the tight waste off the shoulder sleeve and loose bottom good job Disney good job.

Well it took a while to research I couldn’t find an exact date but what most things said were around 10th century Scotland so that’s pretty broad but below is an artist rendering of the fashion of royalty back then and Merida from brave.

Not many similarities but they could be

from different regions of scotland .The big difference seems to be the tightness of the dresses. Both do have gold trimming on the sleeves, but the similarities end there.

Ariel was a mermaid so you can’t really make that historically accurate but when she was on land and had no voice. [does anyone else hate the story of the little mermaid anyway the little mermaid is set in denmark 1850’s

Alright this one was spot on I mean check out all those similarities the slightly off the shoulder the 3/4 sleeves the puffyness the story may be horrible but they did a good job of researching the proper outfits.

Cinderella is set in France in the 1690’s but it’s kinda fuzzy if that’s exact so let’s take a look at the similarities and differences of the historic version.

Well no no no they’re both blue atleast. ( also not a fan of this one)

So as you can see the outfits are similar but the Disney versions look o be more tightly fitting prettier girlyer versions of the actual dresses .
