Description
Vanessa (human Ursula) from The Little Mermaid.This dress would be from the early 1630's. You might not believe it, but I think that of all my historic disney designs this one took the longest research. Somehow there are not many references of this era. I mostly found paintings of queen Henriëtta-Maria, but decided to go with a 1630 portrait of an unknown woman by a painter called Johnson upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
I tried to give her a typical 1630's hairstyle, but that didn't quite work out. It meant that her bangs would've been pulled back straight, but the result wouldn't look like Vanessa.
As you can see I incorporated the seashell twice. Once as a jewel on her breast and also on the background. The green around it represents Ursula's spell.

Actually, the more accurate dress would be around the time of the 19th century, not the 15th century, based on Metal Fish, anyways.

Probably, but I like to use my own interpretation. Otherwise there would be a lot of the same dresses and that isn't fun at all.

I love your Idea about the historic Disney Dresses. However may I ask one question... why did you date Little Mermaid in the 1630's?

The Little Mermaids is one of those movies that has aspects of very different era's. There are things that are almost medieval and other things that look very victorian. This time I picked the 17th century because some time ago I saw part of a costume drama featuring a character that reminded me a lot of Ursula/Vanessa. Unfortunately I don't remember what movie it was, but the idea of this design stuck and I decided to give it a try.

Tof! Niet een karakter dat ik ''nu al'' verwacht had te zien, totdat ik besefte dat je eigenlijk best wel een hoop disney karakters gehad hebt inmiddels! Het gaat nog moeilijk worden binnenkort

Nice double incorporation of an important motif. Also, I can understand sacrificing accuracy for recognition. Vanessa is already hard to remember, being an alternate form a villain whose true form is MUCH more memorable.

I don't know that I had trouble recognizing them, but if you feel you should, then you should.
