While Disney’s portrayal of princesses is undoubtedly enchanting, it’s important to remember that many of these stories are based on folklore, myths and legends from different cultures and time periods. This means that some of the costumes and designs may not be entirely historically accurate. By exploring how these princesses might have looked if their designs were based on history, we can gain a better understanding of the culture and traditions that inspired these stories and appreciate the beauty of these iconic characters in a new way. So, let’s dive in and see how our favorite Disney princesses might have looked if they were historically accurate!

Number one on the list is Princess Jasmine, whose costume draws inspiration from the attire worn by women in the year 300 A.D. It’s worth noting that in the movie, Genie makes a comment to Aladdin about his outfit, stating “First, that fez and vest combo is much too third century.” This implies that the movie’s setting is actually in the fourth century.

Princess Aurora’s attire is modeled after the fashion of the 1300 A.D. This is hinted at in the film when Prince Philip says, “Now, Father, you’re living in the past! This is the 14th century!” If Aurora existed in real life, she would likely be seen wearing clothing from that era.

Snow White’s clothing would likely be based on the fashion of women in 16th century Germany. This is suggested by the yodeling scene in the movie, which is a style of singing that was first recorded in 1545. Additionally, the carved instruments and wooden furniture in the dwarfs’ home are typical of the Black Forest region in Germany. This suggests that Snow White’s story takes place in a setting that is influenced by this region’s culture and design aesthetic.

Cogsworth’s castle tour in “Beauty and the Beast” reveals that the designs used in the castle were from the 17th to 18th century. Additionally, as the Beast is portrayed as a prince, the story likely takes place before the French Revolution, a period during which the aristocracy still existed in France.

Although some designs in Disney movies have similarities to historical dresses, there are also significant differences between the two. Additionally, it’s important to note that Disney is a franchise and creates these characters to appeal to a younger audience, even if that means deviating from historical accuracy.
