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.

Best picture.
By god I was born in the wrong era. I hate modern day clothes. Oddly enough, I like 20s clothes, then skip to like 60s hippie clothes XD Some 50s, 80s stuff...

Just found your historical disney princesses series and it's amazing! I really love how you adapted Tiana's dress to match the Jazz Age, and the dress looks like so much fun to wear!

I think Tiana is one of my favorite princesses because she worked hard for everything she had and never let anyone spoil her. She married Naveen for love because she really got to know him, unlike Snow White who fell in love after being serenaded by some dude she'd never met or seen before -_- Not that I dislike her.

This is probably my favorite of your historically accurate Disney princesses. Absolutely lovely and so spirited, just like Tiana.

Yeah Tiana's movie was never my favourite. But this is amazing!! I love her headpiece and the fireflies, and the dress is so pretty and I wouldn't mind having that one too XD She looks so wonderfully carefree in this!

Fantastic. You can really feel all of the energy and movement in the swish of her skirt and feathers. Love the 20s style!
