eee1313In my last post, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spicedrum mentioned the new line of Dinsey Princess wedding gowns. While in my search to find bigger photos of said dresses, I found this:
devildoll's ultimate wedding gown. OMG!!!
But as for those Disney dresses... First off, I should say that these dresses come from the Disney Ambassador Hotel in Tokyo Disney, and are part of their wedding package. There's no Ariel or Jasmine here, which makes me think these aren't the same dresses that are being designed for Disney by Kristie Kelly. (Yes, I had to look this shit up.) And she's making dresses inspired by the characters, not copies of the dresses they actually wore in the movie, which kind of defeats the whole point, IMO. That said, these dresses are quite atrocious in their own right.
For some reason each princess gets two dresses. We'll start with Snow White. Now, this dress isn't too bad. It's got those cute little sleeves like Snow White wore, it's okay. No worries. But then there's this pink one, which they call "Blossom Princess." First off, pink??? When did Snow white wear pink? Let me think... NEVER. Seriously, what is this? There is absolutely nothing about this dress that says "Snow White," "Disney," or "wedding." It's just, in the words of Ralphie's dad, a pink nightmare. Next!
Now we're on to Cinderella. O.M.G. This is horrible. HORRIBLE. For starters, it doesn't look anything like Cinderella's dress. Cinderella's dress looks like this. Dude, if Annie Liebovitz and Scarlett Johansson can get it right, with the puffy sleeves and the big poofy saddlebag hips, then why can't the freaking Disney dress designers? This is atrocious! The only thing it has in common is that it's blue. Where'd the giant bow come from? And the flounce over the breasts in front? And I know they're drying to show you can wear the sleeves on or off the shoulders, but it just looks sloppy. So let's move on. Here we have what they call the Felicity Princess dress, which is basically the Cinderella-style wedding gown. Except if I remember correctly, Cinderella's wedding gown had SLEEVES. Long sleeves. I see no sleeves here. You fail at continuity, Disney Princess Gown dressmakers!
Now let's move on to what is, arguably, the best of the bunch, the Sleeping Beauty dress. Although, rather than calling it the Aurora dress, it's the "Rose Princess" dress, which I suppose is acceptable seeing as how she was called Briar Rose and all. Anyway, this is the dress that's the most similar to that in the movie. Except that rather than offering it in pink or blue, it only comes in white. (Also, that link is bizarre.) No matter what, though, that dress is 1,000,000 times better than the other Sleeping Beauty offering: the Iris Princess dress. Just look at that thing! LOOK AT IT!!! It's awful. If you really want some fun, do the 360˚ view of that thing. It's atrocious. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I hate this dress.
Moving on. We're now on to the Beauty and the Beast dresses. First up is the Sterling Princess dress, which is fashioned from Belle's red outdoor outfit during the winter scene in the movie. Okay, fine. Belle never actually got married in the film, so there is no wedding dress. I can totally buy them turning the winter dress into the bridal gown for this line. And there's a gathering of white fabric roses at the back of the dress which is a nice touch. Sure. Good job, especially compared with some of the others. But then there's Belle's ballgown, here called the Dream Princess dress. It's just so... BLAND! I mean, come on! It's just awful compared to the one in the movie. That one had, oh, different colored accents and flouncing, and it didn't look like CURTAINS, for Pete's sake! This just makes me sad. Boo! BOO, I say!
The best is a comment I found online about this "dressing like a Disney Princess" concept, given by some dude who's getting married soon: "I guess the thought of my fiancee walking down the aisle dressed in a Disney costume is offensive to me because it's like an ad. I can only imagine myself dressed as Ronald McDonald and the preacher dressed as a bottle of Diet Coke...
Now, if I were dressed as Mayor McCheese... that would be awesome."
SNERK!
Anyway, to cleanse your palatte of the awfulness, I give you MORE awfulness! I give you the stunning Agatha dress. Because who doesn't want to simultaneously look like they're hiding 4 months of pregnancy and not be able to walk freely?
Next up is the Kathleen dress, which looks like something that would happen if there was a wedding in Blade Runner. This is the perfect dress for any bride with severely malformed hips. Lovely!
I like how you can tell which dresses the model was embarassed to be wearing. Heh.
Is it a halter? Are there two spaghetti straps? Why does it look like one of those Barbie cakes?
I know this is supposed to be all ethnic and shit, but it's still ugly. It's like if you wore this to your wedding, you'd get blown up a few days later.
The veil would HAVE to be included with this one, don't you think?
And the pièce de résistance ... If you thought this dress looks weird from the front, check out the back! If I were at a wedding and the bride came out wearing this, I'd have to leave because I would NOT be able to control my laughter. Holy good God almighty! It's like Bride of Ultra-Man or something. Wow!
