Description
It may seem odd but I have always taken Disney heroines as just cartoon characters, absolutely separate from the original fairytales.
But one day I came across Failinginart 's picture , and it had prompted me to make my own version.

I followed historical accuracy, fairytale's desctiption, media representation and my own notions.
My favourites here are Cinderella, Alice, Belle and princess from Aladdin.

1st row

Snow White
I tried to make her look medieval or at least early Renaissance, hence the net hairstyle. I chose the deep red colour because of the quite dark atmosphere of the fairytale.

Cinderella
In one version of the fairytale, her dress is described as a luxurious garment of gold and silver, hence the colours. Also I was inspired by Ann Golon's books about Angelique where she wore golden dresses, so I chose the time to be Baroque.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Her dress is fairly close to the original book's illustration. The dark hair and lilac dress's colour were inspired by the wonderful 2011 ballet "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

Peter Pan
Her character is described as soft and caring, so I thought soft pink and cream would suit her. The dress is based on the first American edition's illustration .

2nd row

Sleeping Beauty
I was mostly inspired by her wedding dress from "Sleeping Beauty" ballet's 2000 French staging, according to what I chose dress colours and style (in that staging, she is supposed to be awakened by Louis XV so the time is mid Rococo).
Here I tried to recreate the ballet costume itself.

The Little Mermaid
I have always imagined her as green-tailed, pale-skinned and with marvellous golden hair, what was so pretty that the witch asked them as the price for human legs.

Beauty and the Beast
It was inspired by the 1946 French film La Belle et la Bête , where one of Belle's dresses resembles an early Baroque gown. Although the film is black and white, I believe it should be something light, white or light blue. And the white rose means to me the purity of her soul.

Aladdin
Due to the fact that the very first variant of the fairytale I read for some reason took place in Arabian India, I decided to make the heroine Indian.

3rd row

Notre Dame de Paris
Esmeralda is dressed in style of Gypsies from "Paquita" balet. Also she wears a small bag traced with green beads (that was the cause of her name), containing her child's bootee, the only thing that she had managed to save from her past life.

Hercules
Megara wears purple, for me this colour means pride and jealousy - her character's features from the myth.

The Princess and the Frog
I wanted to make something really fairytale-looking, so I chose mid 1500s Renaissance.

Rapunzel
Rapunzel is a German name for a certain plant, it is called corn salad in English. But in some English translations, the heroine was named after rampion plant, which is a relative of bluebell. So I always imagined her in blue.

Dolls were made in Heroine Fan-Art creator by Azalea , I changed the colours and somewhere the dress shapes.

Unfortunately I cannot find the authors of the rose pattern from Sleeeping Beauty's dress and border brushes from Princess's green dress.
Paisley golden pattern - from some site in Internet.

P.S. If you see my deviation, give a comment please. It's very important for me to know what you think about it.
