As the Disney Store will be taking a break from the Designer Collection for a few weeks, I thought now would be a good time to show off some of the speculation, graphics, and fan art inspired by the series.

The Disney Princess Collectables Tumblr was trying to pinpoint what dresses inspired the collection, and here are some of their suggestions:

Cinderella || Marilyn Monroe, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)


Snow White || Elizabeth Taylor


Aurora || Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding dress (1953)


Pocahontas || Grace Kelly


Mulan || Audrey Hepburn


Belle || Emma Watson


Ariel || Demi Moore (2010 Oscars)

I only really agree with Cinderella, Snow White, and Aurora as the Designer Collection was inspired by fashion from the 50s and 60s (so sayeth the Disney Blog). But the dresses they found really do look like the Princess's :D
