Princesses getting new look

[tl77]

Maybe its like the pro sports teams they always change the uniform so they can sell more stuff!

BINGO! the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is the real reason for the changes, they already have the glittery outfits so they've changed the in park princesses to match and they chagre extra for glitter

If there is any real dress that needs a revamp, I think it's the sleeping beauty one...I don't think I've ever seen that dress look good on anyone. So I welcome the changes if they really are trying to plus the look of the dresses in the park. They need to fix the triangle like thingies that come off at the top of the arms...just always thought it looked bad. I don't know quite how to feel about revamping the look of the characters in general though. Seems harmless enough. Though that is a lot of bling (sparkles!!!) on the new cinderella.

Changing dresses is fine, but I don't want Cinderella to have a new hairstyle. (Or Belle or Snow, for that matter.) I posted a thread about this a few months back when I first saw these new princess drawings on Disney Store merchandise. I feel that Cinderella doesn't look like the movie any more if you change her fifties 'do.

I do not mind the costumes as much as the makeup and hair. They just look too modern. These characters are classic.

A pp said it best. This will appeal to 4yo girls and that is what Disney is after. If you aren't a 4yo girl, your opinion doesn't matter.

If the 4yo wants it, most parents at WDW are going to shell out for it.

And a 4-5 year old girl's idea of tasteful elegance is "shiny and glittery."

a 4-5 year old girl's idea of tasteful elegance is "shiny and glittery."

...but at some point, little girls need to be taught that tasteful elegance is the art of good taste applied with restraint.

For a four year old the idea of proper public etiquette is to run around naked with a snotty nose, and this one also teaches is not considered a sign of tasteful elegance.

True dat!

Maybe the Sleeping Beauty dress is so difficult to transfer to real life because of the very stylised look of the movie? I don't know. I too have never seen that dress look nice on actual persons.

Leave it to the fans to come up with better costumes:

 

[The Empress Lilly]

WHAT!?

Those are the greatest Aurora and Belle costumes I have ever seen. Wow! Best lookalikes too!

I know, right? I have a huge amount of respect for people with these skills. Though I would like to fix that Aurora costume:

much better.

and for another comparison, Jasmine:

Pink!

Haha, Lilly... *Merriweather* Blue!

I always truthfully did like the blue version better. Thought it looked better in the movie.

Because Cinderella has got a blue dress, Aurora wears pink. To avoid confusion. With the same long blond hair and fifties look, they'd be too difficult to tell apart if both wore blue.

But what ought to be done, is Cinderella getting a silver(!) dress, and Aurora her blue dress. Just like in the movies!

(I also now see that her dress is more glittery than I seemed to remember...)

This, although I see at DLP Aurora still wears blue.

Let me guess, on October 2nd?

A little later then that, closer to the end of the month.

 

[Powerline]

Wait, isn't there a new Princess-centered show set for a Disney Jr premiere?

That would be a perfect time to push these new designs.

So you're suggesting Less Tacky, More Classy? Good points.

 

[tl77]

I like the new princess designs it's kind of like their "red carpet couture" looks, it just seems like the main motivation is to sell stuff. But Mickey's had a thousand different outfits over the years

and if Alice can be a rockstar then I guess the princesses can be sparkly and glam

Cinderella images have been sprouting up lately with the new look...

Her Old Version...

And Her New Version

Here is more From this 2013 calender..

Looks like Cinderella got a face lift and collagen in her face and lips. That could get expensive for Disney if they do that for cast members. Rapunzel has creepy hallucinagenic eyes.

Is there a website for the history of WDW character looks? I think that would be very interesting to see!
