Belle
Her costume here is modeled after actual 1770s French court fashion

Pocahontas
This is said to be closer to Chief Powhatan of the Indian tribe from that period. As you can see, no feathers, and a sort of rebellious age appropriate look

Maleficent
Her first villain. Her costume is made to look older that Aurora's 1480s clothing. Since it takes place in the Middle Ages, Maleficent's costume includes both houppelandes (flowing robes) and horned hennins (coned headdresses) that were a common sight in the Middle Ages

Ariel
Her dress and look were modeled after an 1890s wedding gown, especially with the puffed sleeves

Cinderella
During the 1860s, the cage crinoline (hoop underskirt) takes on a more oval shape and moves towards the back, making Cinderella look like a beautiful blonde Southern belle

Mulan

Woo-hoo!! Mulan!!! It's said that there were historical inconsistencies in Mulan, but one must take into consideration the time period in which the movie was supposed to take place

Snow White
Since the movie is supposed to take place in Germany, the artwork was designed around 16th century Germany

Tiana
Since Tiana's story takes place in the 1920s and 30s, at the height of the Great Depression, the artist thought it was be a fun idea to make Tiana's dress more slimlined, making her look like a flapper

Jasmine
The artist rendering of Jasmine was made more close and more appropriate to Persian fashion
