Disney has teamed up with couture bridal designer Kirstie Kelly to transform blushing brides into their favorite princesses, complete with billowing gowns and crystal tiaras.

At a cost of $1,100 to $3,000 for each gown, brides will be able to walk down the aisle in dresses inspired by Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine or Ariel.

...

Snow White has a slightly more conservative look dubbed "sweet elegance." Ariel and Jasmine models are considerably racier. Ariel, who played the title role in "The Little Mermaid," has a "sultry allure" and is "comfortable showing her body." Jasmine, from "Aladdin," is "bohemian chic," and her various dresses are big on sheath and lace.

...

Still, some of the dresses go places that the princess costumes wouldn't dream of — namely a sexier look. For the newer princesses, Ariel and Jasmine, the designs feature dropped necklines and backs and bare shoulders.

I don't think whoever wrote this article has ever seen Ariel or Jasmine. Laughing

I wish they had pictures...

Yeah, no kidding. Jasmine and Ariel? With cleavage, their backs exposed, and bare shoulders?! Haven't seen that on them before! That's gonna be controversial! Laughing

Athough, I'm waiting for all the stupid comments to start popping up over their dresses being too revealing for a wedding dress or something Razz

I really wish they had photos, but you're right, what's odd about Ariel and Jasmine having bare bits?! Rolling Eyes

Well, it would be a lot more exposed then their actual wedding dresses, now that I think about it... but not their normal outfits, no. Laughing

Preliminary sketch of the dress!

That's actually kinda cute! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought a Jasmineish dress should have been sleeveless Laughing

Maybe I'm whacked, but that dress doesn't even vaguely resemble anything remotely Jasmine-like to me.

Ditto! You don't really see Jasmine in a dress very often (at least I don't!)...so how are they gonna make it look like it's inspired by her? Confused

I just found about the dress line today! I don't really know what to think of it...

That dress design looks pretty, but yeah, it doesn't really look like it was inspired by Jasmine. It *is* an early design, so maybe it'll change.

I'm thinking that from what they said they're going to make it more "Jasmineish" from the type of material that they're going to use.

Wow.....WEDDING DRESSES!?O_O I'd never think Disney would do that. That is a pretty nice dress sketch though. Hmm, I wonder when we'll get pics of them. Should be really interesting to finally see.

For the Jasmine dresses, I think the first, fourth, and fifth look like a "Jasmine" dress. I think the collection that most closely looks like the source material would be the "Belle" collection, namely three and five.
