Disney Princesses in Accurate Period Costume

I came across these beautiful illustrations by Claire Hummel and just HAD to share. I'm a huge Disney fan and I love Hummel's portrayal of how the princesses would be accurately dressed during their time period...

Snow White: Based on early 16th century Germany
Sleeping Beauty: Based on year 1485
Pocahontas: Based on 17th century Powhatan costume 
Cinderella: Dress based on mid-1860s
Jasmine: Based on rare drawings of pre-Islamic Middle Eastern fashion
Ariel: Dress based on 1890s evening gown fashion
Belle: Dress based on 1770s French court fashion

Aren't they stunning?! I so want to go to Disney now. :) See more of Hummel's beautiful work here
