Pink or Blue? New Dress Celebrates Princess Aurora
The Disney Dress Shop at Downtown Disney also surprises us with their creative and unique designs, celebrating cherished Disney films. Today, we spotted a new darling dress that perfectly captures one of the original Disney princesses, Princess Aurora.
Better known to many as Sleeping Beauty, the new dress embraces one of the most famous scenes from the 1959 animated Disney classic celebrating the storybook princess. As they plan a birthday party for the princess-in-hiding, fairies Flora and Merryweather debate whether her incredible gown should be pink or blue.
Dress Details Fit for a Princess
In the new Disney Dress Shop dress, the halter-style dapper design begins at the bottom with Flora’s bright pink shade before transitioning through a deep purple to a bright blue, fit for Merryweather’s ideal gown hue.
Regardless of the coloration, the fabric itself plays on a variety of symbols from the film, including Aurora’s family castle, romatic hearts, vines of forestation, and of course, roses. The princess goes by Briar Rose as a cover for her true identity while in hiding with the fairies from the villain, Malificent.
Throughout the almost-denim blue top, accents of pink appear in a waistband hem as well as in small buttons at the top of the heart-shaped neckline.
Embroidered in white on the side of the waistband, Aurora’s signature appears in a subtle way. Set below it again appears a symbolic rose for the gentle princess.
The Aurora dress retails for $128.00. MickeyBlogger Greg spotted it this morning during his visit to the Disney Dress Shop in Dowtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort. Opening a few years ago, the shop features vintage-inspired designs that often pay homage to famous park icons, including the Dapper Dans, the Haunted Mansion, Orange Bird, Alice in Wonderland, and of course, “it’s a small world.”
Speaking of “it’s a small world,” make sure to check out the latest release in the Mickey Mouse, the Main Attraction collection, also spotted today at Downtown Disney.
