Ariel's rosa, -de-rosa Dress - Seriously, Disney?

posted by Annabethandco

I was looking through my artigos and realised I didn't have an artigo in which I examined Ariel in depth. I decided to amend that por composição literária about a subject it's fun to think about - Ariel's rosa, -de-rosa dress.

Most fãs can agree (I think) that the dress looks quite bad on Ariel. There are several reasons for this: the sleeves are ridiculously puffy and makes her arms look misshapen and the shaping of the saia looks... Odd. I just think it's too puffy and big in general.

Another popular reason for the dress looking odd is that a red hair/pink dress combo doesn't work:

However, I personally don't feel this is the case. disney has proven that it is perfectly capable of making a rosa, -de-rosa dress look super pretty on a red head (a.k.a. Giselle from Enchanted). Look how cute she looks here!

Some of you may now say that the outfit only works because her hair is MUCH lighter than Ariel's, but I disagree. Look what happens when we put Ariel in almost exactly the same dress:

I don't know about you, but I think she looks stunning! Why couldn't disney put her in a dress mais like this? A different shade of rosa, -de-rosa and different sleeves and Ariel's rosa, -de-rosa dress could have been BEAUTIFUL.

Would something like this be TOO much to ask?

I guess it could be argued that disney HAD to make the dress shaped like that with odd sleeves to make it look like a ball gown, but if they had to give her a light rosa, -de-rosa and puffy dress, couldn't they have given something a lot mais like Lottie's from TPATF? Her dress is over dramatic, but still prettier than Ariel's.

Overall, I feel that disney could have made Ariel's ball vestido look amazing if they had put a little mais time and thought into it. They just had to change the shade and the shape and I would have adored it. I am really glad that they have decided to scrap the dress almost altogether now in merchandising, because it makes me a little sad to think how breath-taking Ariel could have looked.

Silverrose1991 I love her ballgown! It's my second favorite outfit of hers, after her wedding dress. And I think redheads look fantastic in pink, especially shocking pink. Unpopular opinions, I know.

Annabethandco ^That's cool to know, but I personally don't really like the dress :D

coolsinger198 i dont like it either.its so unfashionable, i should now i waana be a fashion designer when i grow up. the dress doesnt suite her at all. i agree wit u.

KotokoAihara I actually love that outfit. She looks lovely in it. Especially in this picture. http://images6.fanpop.com/image/polls/1353000/1353713_1394995251798_full.jpg Nice article anyway. I loved the pics and I agree Giselle's dress is nicer. Possibly my favorite Disney outfit.

RapunzelAnna I agree with silverrose1991 and kotoaihara

RapunzelAnna Its like ariana grande wearing pink she rocks in it so why cant ariel?

Tygers_Eye Um... you know that puffy sleeves and skirts like that were the style in most eras, right? We think it looks ridiculous now, but off and on for many years between the Renaissance and Victorian Era (which had the infamous "leg-o-mutton" sleeves), puffy sleeves and skirts [i]were[/i] the height of fashion. http://shoomlah.deviantart.com/art/There-s-Something-About-Her-204302353 As for the color, I guess it could be explained that it seems Eric is the only noble that lives in the castle (seriously, WHERE ARE HIS PARENTS??!!) and they didn't expect Ariel's since she just showed up in rags one day. But they needed a pretty dress to put her in for dinner, so they probably unearthed one of the few or only fancy evening dresses for the occasion. It doesn't look perfect on her because, in-universe, it wasn't designed for her. It's borrowed clothes to tide her over till they can tailor her own.

Diazdiaz95 It's my least favorite princess dress. It has such an eighties feel with the puffy sleeves and all and I don't like clothes with an eighties feel usually. Nice article. Giselle's dress is much nicer.

AudreyFreak Actually, there's something called color analysis (it is scientific), saying that certain colors can only go with certain colors. Giselle is in fact a ginger (and in reality Amy Adams is just a blonde that dyed her hair ginger) which is different from a redhead. I don't think Giselle looks at all good in pink, but at least she is leaning towards blonde there, so it doesn't look as bad as Ariel's tomato-red hair and drab pink dress, two colors that cannot be pulled off successfully together. Gisele herself might look pretty, but that's totally different from the [b]colors[/b] looking pretty, as the color with her coloring doesn't match. Now, Aurora, with her muted coloring, may be able to pull off that pink, but as a Spring (even if her hair color is completely fake), the closest to pink Ariel or Giselle or Merida would be [url=http://www.adorama.com/images/300x300/ro32.jpg]salmon[/url] or [url=http://images.myperfectcolor.com/repositories/images/colors/MPC00010247-2.jpg]peach[/url]. Not criticizing your article or anything, I'm just a bit OCD with color analysis. I used to read about it all the time in high school and I'm still bad about analyzing stuff! I need to do an article myself about it. Also, 1) Ariana isn't a real redhead, and 2) her shade of red isn't even remotely the same color as Ariel's. She has that trendy wine-red, Ariel has ketchup red. Their coloring is just about as different as it gets- Ariana looks very Italian, olive skin, deep brown eyes, dark hair. Ariel has doughy light skin, blue eyes, red hair.

Onyxis AudreyFreak- I have read about color analysis as well, but I nevertheless like Ariels dress on her. I like interesting color combinations, and the color in my opinion is rather close to salmon. If it was truly pink like Aurora´s it would look horrible like you can see with the pocket princess comic where Merida is wearing pink. Also the white and the off-shoulder design helps. It is not the best dress for her, but is sweet and better than the redesigned green one in my opinion.

cruella I'm not fond of the dress either. But, I do agree with Tygers_Eye that was the style of dress, during the era in which the movie was supposed to take place. I also think they could have chosen a better color then pink.

CRaZy_rawR Her wedding sleeves are MUCH puffier though. The size of her head in fact. I think the dress looks good on Ariel, they just needed to pick a brighter or lighter shade of pink. :3

Annabethandco AudreyFreak: I know that Ariel and Giselle have very different hair colours, but that was why I put Ariel in Giselle's dress - and she still looked great!

Annabethandco Tygers_Eye: Look at Pocahontas - Do Disney really care about historical accuracy ;)

324anna Very interesting and well-written article, but I can't say I agree. I personally like that dress...

ApplesauceDoctr I actually like her pink dress..

BelleRose829 I like her pink dress.

PrincessAyeka12 If they changed the shape, I'd love the pink dress more. I also agree that she looks gorgeous in Giselle's dress. I kinda miss the pink now they've given her a new dress in her mermaid colours.

18541755 i like princess ariel so much but the ariel in her ball gown is to looking too bad!!!!

elsafan1010 Hmm. If I think about it like that, all of Ariel's dresses are beautiful. What's the point of a dress when someone is beautiful?

Results of The Best disney Princess Sequel COUNTDOWN(Voted por the public)

posted by KataraLover

I finally found the time to make this article. A few years atrás this countdown was made and the results now are completely different. The people who were here for that countdown were shocked. However a majority of the people who participated in that countdown have left fanpop and now we have a brand new group. So this is not my list, though I'm fairly happy with the results, it's the opinion of the people. Don't go getting mad at me if you don't like something

I haven't seen all of these but... basically this just canceled out the first movie >:|...

Ok so I want to be a detective not to step on prussiaducky's webbed feet or anything I guess I present the evidence ...but shouldn't we contact the The fanpop people saying this Is an almost regular thing anyway first thing or the first troll *copy cat accounts* was me it was a mural post and the troll was 'SoFabulous' atuação familiar with everyone.

Next SoFabulous made a mural post introducing his/her self

Everyone thought it was me, so naturally they acted suspicious later Prussiaducky stated in her artigo 'DA pato DECTIVE NAJMA' that she had sent a message to SoFabulous asking if it was me...

Best disney Couples

posted by awkwardanna

Pocahontas and John Smith
-smacks Disney- NO HISTORICAL ACCURACY GOSH GO AWAY and er, I just really saw no chemistry or amor between them.

Ariel and Eric
I felt like their amor was quite shallow, like she was all like "Dayum, he's fine. Lemme become human so I can kiss that boy!" and while he was kind, and she witnessed it, I just didn't feel it was real.

Snow White and The Prince
This is basically again because of a lack of chemistry. I found it quite heroic that he saved her, but she was like, what? 14 (I think)? So I always was a little uncomfortable with that.

Jasmine and Aladdin
I HAVE NO IDEA...
