But April Calahan, a fashion historian at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, explains that Belle's two main dresses aren't actually reflective of what women would've had in their closets at the time the film is setnamely because they feature design elements cherry-picked from totally different eras: "The Disney animators have taken design and aesthetic references spanning several different decades to basically create a romanticized, fictionalized historic past." Belle's yellow ball gown, for one, is missing several layers and is less shapely than a typical dress of the time
Description: Featuring a flattering square neckline, soft puffed sleeves, and a flowing midi-length skirt, this dress creates a graceful, feminine silhouette
This is a very comfortable shoe and the quality is pretty good, but in no way does it justify the $395 price tag in my opinion with the big blocky sole, the lack of versatility (looks like a traditional dress shoe), and the quality of the construction should be much higher given the price
Shop similar pieces: The T-shirt-and-jeans outfit of the bunch, this one's an easy classic to repeat over and over again
