Okay, I am écriture an article after a long time. I suffered from the lack of ideas and imagination for plus than 12 days ago. So, I am not in a mood to start a new series, either, Damn! So, I decided to do one short article, duh! Sorry, I am gonna do a series! I mean, duh, some princesses were horribly out of place. I mean, we think every princess is beautiful, but some are a little historically inaccurate and drawn in a wrong way.

Snow White

It is kinda easy to figure out where this classic took place. The dwarfs’ house is decorated with carved wooden instruments and furniture. If toi closely look at the mountains and the forest, I think it is in the black forest, which is in Germany. The dwarfs mostly yodel throughout the movie, and yodelling was first recorded in 1545, so we know the story took place after that. So, these clues suggest that Snow White’s story took place in the late 1500s in Germany. During this time of protestant reformation, Women wore dark colored fabrics that emphasized the waist and had a high neckline, with their hair usually pulled back...some women even wore a headpiece. And in this picture, Snow White looks absolutely beautiful. Her hair is beautifully pulled back and I wanna wear that stunning casque she has. Except the emphasis on the waist and puffy sleeves, the outfit doesn’t look accurate in the movie and her hair is too short to be pulled back.

Cinderella

Cendrillon is loved all over the world and people adore her castle, but it rather seems to be placed in its own fantaisie land with less accuracy. So, a lot of people think it took place in the 1860’s. So, this drawing looks much plus accurate than that beautiful, lovely silver ball robe we all die for. In that time period, the cages of women’s dresses took plus of an elliptical shape and generally moved towards the back. Sorry ou not sorry, I l’amour this dress plus than the ball gown! I don’t care if lacks those sparkles and all than damn glitter, it looks even better. Wow, this surprised me! But there are many versions of the story, and one of the most populaire versions was originally written in French par Charles Perrault. So if toi wanna make Cindy look a different way, toi can add plus French nods. There are many versions of Cinderella’s story, such as the Egyptian Cendrillon and Korean Cinderella, created at different times and countries.

Aurora

There are a few clues with let us know the time and place for this tale. Before Aurora learnt that she was a princess, she was raised up as a peasant girl named Briar Rose. Actually, Briar Rose is fleur which populaire in England through generations, so we can believe this movie was actually supposed to take place in England. Do toi remember, at one point Phillip tells King Hubert that he’s living in the past and this is the 14th Century. And so the story took place in 14th century in England. Noble women in that era wore dresses with tight fitting sleeves and bodices. Surcotes were put on haut, retour au début of the tight fitting dresses. A Surcote is a loose dress which is almost like a robe. These were also worn open and some had a long train on them. At the time, many women wore brooches and wore their hair in braids. At times they’d also put on a headpiece, veil ou crown to montrer their royal status. And Clair Hummel drew it really well!

So, bluh, Part 1 is over now!
