As a bit of an enthusiast when it comes to historical fashion it annoys me they tried to “modernize” it. Like the original dress wasn’t period-accurate either, but it DID have a basis in history (albeit the wrong period), whereas the new dress doesn’t seem to have any respect to history
i feel you, but if they had ditched the historical accuracy for a good looking dress, i would let it slide. like, i can’t speak for historical accuracy on cinderella’s dress, but just look at this
it really looks like a magical dress. like a big, fluffy, beautiful blue cloud of a dress. just looking at it makes me want to reach out and feel it’s texture. the only downside is the too tight corset, imo, but just loose it up a bit, let the poor girl fucking breathe, and you have a simple, yet regal and dreamy dress. a++
now compare it to this and just
what is this stiff, piss-colored thing. what the hell. it looks as sad as i feel while seeing it.
actually, for better accuracy, just take these two similar shots of the princesses wearing their respective gowns:

really, in my opinion, there’s no competition. this dress is lazy and boring. step up your game once more, disney.
This makes me so angry. Like they didn’t even try with her dress. There is so much to pull from in that time period! Where is the brocade fabric? Where are the ruffles?
The could have transformed that so easily just by tweaking the fabric and giving it more life:
Or just add some freaking ruffles for heaven’s sake. They loved ruffles back then!
It would have made her actually fit in with the background. As it is Belle looks like she’s going to the prom.
