de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
Illustrator Claire Hummel wondered about the historical accuracy of
these cartoon creations, so she decided to do some research and give
each princess a makeover based on what she learned.
According to Flavorwire,
some princesses were easier than others. Of Snow White, Claire said it
"is pretty easy to pinpoint in 16th-century Germany. Not that the film
is accurate, but the clues are there." Others were more challenging.
Claire explained: "
The Little Mermaid is hard to place from a
time period standpoint — Grimsby's wearing a Georgian getup, Ariel's
pink dress with the slashed sleeves subscribes to several eras from the
Renaissance to the 1840s, Eric is . . . Eric. I went with Ariel's
wedding
dress as a starting point since those gigantic leg-o-mutton sleeves (so
embarrassingly popular in '80s wedding fashion) were a great starting
point for an 1890s evening gown."
Snow White
Claire used material from 1500 to 1530 for
Snow White's makeover.
