Disney Princess Wedding Gowns
Today’s Wall Street Journal reports that Disney has hired designer Kirstie Kelly todesign a line of wedding gowns inspired by the Disney Princesses:
As Ms. Kelly sees it, Cinderella is “classic glamour” — the dresses in her linecome in high-shine satin with ball-gown skirts and make generous use of silver embroideryand crystals. Snow White has a slightly more conservative look dubbed “sweet elegance.”Ariel and Jasmine models are considerably racier. Ariel, who played the title rolein “The Little Mermaid,” has a “sultry allure” and is “comfortable showing her body.”Jasmine, from “Aladdin,” is “bohemian chic,” and her various dresses are big on sheathand lace. In all, Disney will offer 34 princess designs for its first season.
…
But don’t expect the gaudy princess costumes that kids run around in. Ms. Kellysays her designs are more about capturing the “mood” of the princess than creatingan exact replica of each of the cartoon characters’ outfits.
That means using more subtle colors than the startling pinks, yellows and bluesof the mini-princess world. The Cinderella designs, for instance, come in refinedivory and champagne, rather than the bright blue of the original attire. That alsomeans including only delicate features from the characters’ costumes. One of the fiveAriel designs has a subtle mermaid styling to the skirt, for instance. Another haswaves of shell-like beading cascading down to the hem.
The gowns are scheduled to go on sale at bridal boutiques in June.
