Description
I've been crazy excited to do Tiana- she's not my favourite princess, but I started researching her dress in the very early stages of this project and got pretty hyped up about it.Most of the dresses in Princess and the Frog do have some historical basis (lots of dropped waists and slinky chemises), so I thought it would be fun to tackle Tiana's magic-kiss-swamp-frog-something gown during the climax of the film. It's the one dress that's clearly meant to just be a standalone "princess" dress, but I liked the idea of a challenge and decided to drag it kicking and screaming back into the 20's.
I based the dress on Lanvin's robes de style, which were- unlike the flapper dresses most people associate with the Jazz Age- fitted in the bodice with a wide, panniered skirt. The robe de style was considered a relatively conservative dress choice so you probably wouldn't have seen a hem hiked up this high, but COME ON HOW OFTEN DO I GET TO DRAW THEIR LEGS. Not often enough, I'll tell you that.

Seeing this art actually inspired me to research 20s and 30s fashion myself! It's quite refreshing to bring an underappreciated style into the limelight.

She is absolutely adorable in that dress. Β In four years, it'll be the 20s again, so I say we bring this look back!

I much prefer this to her actual dress. Her actual dress just seems out of place in the setting, and it's a bit too stereotypical princessy for my liking.

Right? Took the words right out of my...well, not my mouth, but out of my brain.

This is my favorite!!! I love the movement and the sweeping lines and the colors. Β The hat alone looks like wailing saxes and walking bass!

This is so vibrant, colorful and vivid, I love it! You can almost hear a jazz tune playing in the background, and the dress it's a thing of beauty.
Beautifully done. Looking up to more of your work.
