Disney Princess Article: Ariel's Clothes

This isn't in order of what I like, this is the order they are shown in the movie.

1. The Rags
Am I the only one who likes this? I think it's cute how she is ipinapakita off her dress like she thinks it looks good. Of course it looks ridiculous when it's all bunched up, but after it smooths out, I think it's pretty. White is probably the best color on Ariel (besides her green fishtail and purple seashells). I wouldn't like it as clothing, but it's the first thing she wears, and only for a few minutes, I think it looks good on her.

2. The kulay-rosas Dress
Of course this one clashes with her hair. But I think it's good that they did this in the movie. The fact that they had a spare dress in the castle, I think it subtly shows that they didn't expect a girl with bright red hair. I actually like the way it looks, and I think it's ok that she wore it for a little bit.

3. The kulay-rosas Nightgown
This one is cool because Ariel looks really cute and innocent in it. It's simple, loose-fitting, and flowy. I don't have much too say about it, but I think it matches the mood each time we see her in it.

4. The Blue Dress
I really pag-ibig this one. I pag-ibig the way it twirls when she dances. I pag-ibig the length of it; it cuts off above her ankles, which I think is pretty during the scene where the shell kuwintas breaks at her feet. I think the color is fine. There's only one part of the movie where her hair is bright red while she's wearing that dress. That's during the tour of the kingdom. When they are in the lagoon, her hair looks darker and it matches the dress better. When they crash the wedding, the light of the sunset changes her hair color again, and I think it matches decently. I probably like this dress because it looks like Aurora's peasant dress, which is one of my favorites (I'll write another artikulo about my paborito DP dresses later). I also like the bow she wears with this dress. I think it's adorable on her. And I like how she's not wearing the bow during the madami serious scenes.

5. The Sparkley Dress
I pag-ibig this dress. You only see her in it for like ten seconds, but I think that makes it even better. It's pretty, sparkley, twirly, and I like the style of it. It shows her shoulders, and I think that style bumagay her very well (of course because she's a mermaid).

6. The Wedding Dress
I don't mind this dress. During this scene, I'm not focusing on what she's wearing. The white color looks good on her like I sinabi before. I do think the puffy sleeve things are kinda big, but again, I don't mind. I think it bumagay her, as a lot of things about Ariel are big: her hair, eyes, the blue bow, and her personality. Ariel's really happy in this scene, and that's what I see, not her dress.

Sk8er__grl Good article! Ariel currently has my least favorite wardrobe (She just can't seem to get to high on my lists) The only dress I like of hers is her blue dress, everything else clashes with her hair and doesn't suit her. The pink dress, nightgown and purple dress all look really bad on her IMO. I even like her rag dress more than her pink dress. Also another reason why I personally don't like her wardrobe is it was very much a thing of it's time. I.E. The pink dress and the wedding dress both have very puffy sleeves that are way too 80's and just look un-flattering. Either way, I respect your opinion!

iwasneverhere I'm one of the few people who finds Ariel's ENTIRE wardrobe FLATTERING. I liked each costume--- which I can not say for Aurora's peasant dress, Elsa's ice dress, any of Tiana's dresses save the blue one, and most of the dresses for all the other DPs--- because they look bad, imo. I liked only two of Merida's dresses. I like Cinderella's blue ballgown, but not any other dress of hers in the same movie. I think the worst wedding dress belongs to Tiana. I HATE that huge yellow "X" crossing at the waistline, which reminds me of the tape they put up around crime scenes, where they tape off the area--- and it's not flattering at all on her. I would never wear that. It looks off. I'm going to favorite your article!!!

elsafan1010 Most of Ariel's costumes are utterly awful! Pink doesn't suit her and she's wearing both puffy sleeves. The only dresses I love are the purple glitter one, and the blue black dress she wore on the carriage ride.
