Every year, I kick off the new year with a Disney Princess series over on my instagram and other social media. I’m ranking all the dresses from January 2021. These are based on comfort, prettiness, and what I would personally wear:)
17 - being a mermaid would be pretty sweet, but a seashell bra sounds extremely uncomfortable. 0/10, would rather wear anything else
15 - Snow White’s outfit is pretty basic, but the skirt if pretty swishy and perfect for frolicking. 1/10, the collar looks very annoying to wear.
13 - Megara’s toga is very mobile and looks light. However, the lack of decoration is disappointing. Her massive amount of hair is fun to draw, but would be very heavy! She pulls it off though. 3/10, would wear while lounging
11 - Moana’s outfit is so pretty and the patterns are great! The bare midriff doesn’t bother me so much because the gap is small, but the grass skirt looks like it would itchy. Alsa, it’s sleeveless! No thanks. 5/10, I’m allergic to hay.
9 - Esmeralda’s everyday wear. The dance factor and climbing over roofs factor is off the charts! This lady is stalwart and fearless, and I can only yearn to emulate her. However, I don’t love off the shoulder outfits. 6/10, time to dance!
8 - I know what I just said about off the shoulder, but this is just one shoulder bare. Plus the leather looks very soft and swishy as Pocahontas runs around the forest. I love this dress and would wear it in a heartbeat. 7/10, time to stand in front of a waterfall.
5 - Anna’s dress is super warm and very beautiful. The designs evoke growth in a period where winter has overtaken the land, and the colors tie her and Elsa together. Probably the best dress I’ve ever seen for hiking a mountain. 8/10, would wear while skiing.
3 - I’m a sucker for the princess peasant dresses, and this one is my very favorite. When she spins, its flares out around her and the colors are muted and very lovely. 9/10, would wander the woods in it.
16 - Jasmine’s pants look very cool, but I feel uncomfortable baring my midriff. Also, her outfit is pretty boring in general. 1/10, parachute pants
14 - sorry, elsa. Your dress transformation looks awesome, but is it made out of ice? Sequins are also no fun to wear. 2/10, thigh high slits = :/
12 - Sorry Belle, but gold, while luxurious, is not my favorite color and the dress looks heavy and too opulent for me. Off the shoulder dresses bother me as well. She looks great, though. 4/10, would wear to waltz.
10 - Tiana’s blue dress is also sleeveless, but the simple elegance and lovely color saves it from a lower rating. 5/10, would wear if my original costume got food on it.
8 - Rapunzel’s dress is so lovely, and suits her perfectly. Unfortunately, she’s clearly outgrown it! And because my high school colors were purple and gold, the color scheme has been ruined for me forever. 6/10, perfect for hiding a chameleon
7 - Cinderella’s ballgown is iconic, and Disney’s modern promos RUIN the color! It is clearly a light blue-grey dress with white accents, not the intense blue disney wants it to be. This is elegant and magical. 7/10, lose the choker please!
4 - Belle’s peasant dress. What a beautiful blue! What a practical, simple dress for walking through a French village in, lamenting the everyday ignorance of the people around you and wanting adventure. 8/10, would wear to the market
2 - Mulan’s blue dress is clearly mobile and is quite pretty. I love the colors and the swooshiness of it! This dress has everything. 10/10, would make, but no $$ for silk.
1 - Merida’s outfit. The color is stunning, the mobility is AWESOME, and celtic patterns are my weakness. I was just as surprised as you that this was my favorite. 10/10, is comfy, practical, AND beautiful. If i was going to make myself a cosplay, it would be this dress right here.
