I'm very interested in the history of fashion and I've wanted to make these kind drawings for a while. The idea is this: what would Disney princesses look like, if they wore historically accurate clothing?

Unlike with Ariel, it was very easy to find a suitable time period and style for Belle. There were actually two choices: either the 1700's fashion or the crinolines of the 1850's and the 1860's. I finally chose the 1750's style: the most known version of the tale "Beauty and the Beast" was after all written (by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont) and published in 1756.

Made with pencils, marker pens and watercolor pencils + edited with GIMP.
