Remember when I did a countdown for my favourite outfits and dresses? Well because I like so many and kept changing my mind about the rankings, I decided to take it down. I'm più comfortable doing it this way, splitting them into categories.

My definition of "ball gown" is a formal dress worn in a ball room whether dancing o just present and watching. So that means I have excluded Ariel's rosa toga, abito and Tiana's lily pad dress from the countdown. They will be included in a different countdown under a suitable category.

7) Pocahontas' Gown
This is a cruel scene. The King has just rejected her request in getting on the with the negotiations and she has little choice but to attend the ball in hope that he can persuaded. She is forced to change herself in order to fit into their world. For example; she removes her mother's collana and they whiten her skin with powder (That's not right! Her skin tone is much più beautiful without it - but I get the reason, it's part of history). Her hair is twisted un-naturally and decorated beads. She's never worn corsets before o those cages that go under the dress. Sure she likes the new collana and enjoys learning how to dance, but when she's in front of the mirror, looking into it, she's not happy. The hairstyle she wears with the dress is over-the-top! The dress itself is again over-the-top. But colour-wise it Suits her. The only bit I like is the gemstone pendent in the middle at the superiore, in alto of the dress. Thank goodness this only formal toga, abito she wears though!

6) Belle's Natale Gown
You're probably asking yourself why it's so low when it's a gorgeous dress of a gorgeous colour that really Suits Belle? I can't appreciate a dress when the quality of the animazione is bad. And the quality of this film is really bad! Film-wise it sucks, art-wise (Deviant Art; re-drawn da an artist) it's beautiful. But this countdown isn't for deviant art appreciation. It's all about the films and the film scenes where the dresses are in the spotlight.

5) Cinderella's Banquet Gown
Lovely colour but perhaps a little too bright for her. Aquamarine would suit Ariel o even gelsomino more. It's a different shape to her ball toga, abito but I'm not sure I like the shape of the skirt. It seems like a copy of the original somehow and that's why it's low.

4) Ariel's Gown
The purple ball toga, abito is pretty on 29 anno old Ariel with her smeraldo jewelled crown. The gonna has pleats like a fan, it's weird. The long darker purple gonna over the gonna looks nice though. She has Jasmine's long sleeves with the same wrist cuffs, not as big of course but similar. The biggest problem with this dress is that it clashes with Melody's. It's almost exactly the same.

3) Cinderella's Gown
I have a like and dislike about this dress. Pros; sparkles, depending on what kind of light she's under her dress is different colour - white, silver o blue and she looks the happiest she's ever been in years! Cons: the hairstyle (they could have chosen a prettier up-do, this one is ugly!), shoulder pads (not a fan), the choker (why not a diamond collana o something?), the size of the gonna (It's historic I know, my mum has a costume book of historic fashion that starts from the very early medieval times to the modern 90's. I've just not a fan meringue shaped skirts but to be fair compared to the huge gonna sizes on Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, Cinderella's gonna isn't that bad).

2) Aurora's Gown
The sharpest dress ever! As te know I like this dress a lot. But I think in order to fully enjoy the toga, abito you've got to appreciate the ballroom dance. Pros: Seeing Aurora and Philip dancing as their true-selves in front of everyone, watching the trails of magic magically change her dress from blue to rosa and back again as Aurora spins round with Philip. Cons: we see most of the dance in distant view with only a few shots in close-up.

1) Belle's Gown
A brunette in yellow and gold. I Amore their ballroom, they've got the best ballroom! The dress has frills which make it eye-catching. It looks as slim as Aurora's toga, abito and the gonna half is puffy like Cinderella's but it seems smaller in size sometimes. I really like this dress, it brings back childhood memories when I had the bambole of ballroom belle and beast. The waltz they perform is my favourite out of all the other princess waltzes.
