Honestly? I just wanted to draw those damn slashed sleeves. I want them SO BAD.

Unlike the aforementioned Little Mermaid, Snow White's time period is pretty easy to pinpoint in 16th century Germany. Not that the film is accurate, but the clues are there- I took a wide swath from about 1500-1530 to come up with something that still maintained the spirit of the original design.

Those sleeves are awesome. And that apple tree motif on her skirt? Beautiful!

Something about this design just says 'dark,' to me. Not like outright, but more subtle; which is odd, because I tend to think of Snow White as the most innocent of all the Disney princesses. I don't know if it's her expression or what, but it's like there's something there and we can't quite tell what it is.

I love these dresses; Aurora's is my most favorite, right now, with this one and Cinderella both being close seconds.

I completely agree, there is a maturity there that isn't present in the film version

The only thing that bothers me is her body type, but I know that, in the movie, she reflected the beauty standards of the time it was made.

Even so, weight and fat were considered signs of health and status for a very long time. I don't really know about 16th century Germany, of course. And given her situation, I suppose we can't expect the queen to have fed her all that well? idk

Were there actual clothes with a big, white collar like that?

I don't know about early 16th century, but in the latter half there definitely were. [link] is a good example. The artist did a timeline from Ancient Sumeria to the 1950s of Europe's clothing, you can see it in their gallery.
