# Chronologically Correct Royalty Claire Hummel's Historically Correct Disney Princesses are Pretty By Carly Foy | Published 2011-06-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/historically-correct-disney-princesses References: [blog.thaeger](http://blog.thaeger.com/2011/06/29/historically-correct-disney-princesses/) & [shoomlah](http://www.shoomlah.com/portfolio.html) Illustrator Claire Hummel has created a unique homage to the [Disney princesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-glossy-lip) through her series of graphic illustrations entitled 'Historically Correct [Disney Princesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1).' Claire re-created the princesses in attire that would be correct for their time and social status. Instead of Belle donning an A-line gown, she is depicted wearing a set of panniers to enlarge her hips, which was a common fashion in France in the 18th century. [Ariel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-swipe) is featured with flamboyant shoulder poofs as well. The Historically Correct Disney Princesses is a fun series that provides a historical contrast to the mainstream princesses that Disney depicted to us as children.
