Yellow ballgown- I don’t think I’ve ever seen a real life take on this gown which truly did it justice— many of them are flat out ugly. The yellow gown first worn by Susan Egan in the Broadway production is probably my favorite attempt to capture the beauty of the 1991 design. But in 1991 the ballgown is a such a stunner. I especially love the way the dress moves. Beautiful and iconic. Like Cinderella’s gown, its incomparable and otherwise unattainable beauty (at least in the real world) reminds you of the magic of animation itself.
Perfectly said! It's true, nothing in real life captures it, the closest, to me, is the statues they make with her in it. It really is hard to make the gown's beauty obtainable in real life. Have you seen the Hollywood Studios version of the gown? That is the real life one closest to capturing it correctly to me.
Anyway...
1. Gold ballgown - sublime. Divine. Magical. How it shimmers down in ripples. A perfect design, aside from being so historically inaccurate, lol.
2. Red and gold Enchanted Christmas dress - I love this one! The colors, the simple but beautiful design!
3. Pink dress with cloak - Wow, that pink dress is pretty shades of pink in a rather simple but elegant design, and the cloak really enchances it.
4. Pink dress with no cloak - love the pink and simple but elegant design
5. Green dress - this one suits Belle because I associate green with intelligence and it's also modest in it's simplicity like her, and the sleeves which I would normally hate work well on this one.
6. Blue dress - It's fine for a peasant who is just the working class, but in the live-action film they made it prettier with the detail.
7. Disney Princess makeover dress - They destroyed it.
