LAST ONE. Bwuh.

I adore Tangled for many reasons, but historical accuracy isn't one of them. It's actually the first Disney film that feels entirely set in its own fantasy world, with no real ties to any particular time period or setting- unless you count that ever-forgiving time period of "Ren Faire."

Since this is the last one in the series (so far as official princesses go), I thought I'd treat myself and just have fun with it. I drew up concepts for both the 16th century (the slashed sleeves) and 18th (Keane's initial inspiration), but in the interest of choosing a time period I hadn't touched yet I ended up going with the late Regency. There are a ton of gowns circa 1820 that have those inimitably princessy sleeves, and those palace guards aren't fooling anyone.

-Claire, who made a video for this but still needs to edit that nonsense together

But Rapunzel was written in late 17th century, in France. I have always liked the silhouette of the court dress of the end of 17th-beginning of 18th century... You haven't done anything like that... so why did you choose to keep on the slashed sleeves? That seems to be there just because "all fairytale clothes have slashed sleeves".

I have absolutely no critique or objections to anything, I think about everything you have done is wonderful

Please read the description, the FAQ, and anything else I've ever written about this series! These aren't about matching the dates of the source material, they're about finding historical precedent for the fashions in the films themselves.

I din't "keep" the slashed sleeves, per se- I'm trying to find examples that are as close to the film costumes as is possible, and there are tons of examples of so-called slashed sleeve motifs during the late Regency/early Romantic period.

so pretty dress

~mooniestar Mar 26, 2013

I hope it's not too silly of me to ask, but with Merida appearing on official Disney merchandise, is there any chance of you designing one of her? It's okay if you don't, I just thought I'd put the question out there (that's probably been asked a thousand times, now that I think about it; sorry!)

Please check the FAQ, and the additional Merida-specific FAQ!

This might be my favorite.

I dunno.

I adore all of these! I would lose to see you're interpretation of a modern version of the princesses.
