Historically accurate Disney princesses

I thought after my first time at Disneyland on Monday I'd do a Disney post. I happened upon the article below through a facebook friend a couple of months ago and just absolutely love it. Claire Hummel, an LA-based illustrator, has researched the Disney princesses approximate historical times and has rendered them accordingly. Her illustrations are beautiful and her explanations for each are great and very well educated.It just goes to show how much costume knowledge many disciplines need.
