Prepare for an enchanting transformation! Wyethe Smallish has created a wonderful, diverse collection of fuller-figured princes and princesses. These reimagined characters challenge traditional beauty norms most delightfully.

1. Belle

Belle proves that intelligence and beauty come in all sizes. She has already taught us once to look beyond appearances and appreciate the true essence of a person.

2. Princess Aurora

In a dreamlike twist, this sleeping beauty awoke to a world where every body type is appreciated! Now with a fuller figure, Aurora demonstrates that you don’t need to be skinny to captivate kingdoms or win over charming princes.

3. Ariel

Most Disney princesses wear corsets, so it makes sense if they have unnaturally small waists. And Ariel is a mermaid so she isn’t technically a human, and doesn’t actually need to look exactly like one.

5. Cinderella

Our favorite princess with the lost glass slipper now has a bit more to flaunt. Rocking her beautiful gown, she shows that you don’t need to be petite to be the star of the ball!

6. Princess Tiana

Meet Tiana, the determined and industrious princess who’s breaking new ground! In her stunning green attire, she exemplifies that beauty encompasses a variety of shapes and sizes.

7. Jasmine

Check out Jasmine, our adventurous Arabian princess soaring on her magic carpet with a fuller figure! Decked out in her signature turquoise attire, she’s setting an inspiring example that ruling a kingdom doesn’t require a slim physique.

8. Meg

I fully agree out of all the disney females meg was the least realistic waistline. But realistic for her would have been to make her a siE 6 not a size. 12 or 14

9. Mulan

Mulan’s strength, determination, and her new curvy figure prove that heroines can look different and still be powerful. It teaches us that true bravery comes from inside, no matter your shape or size.

10. Belle And Adam

Adam, our prince, has embraced a fuller body, teaching us that fairy tale endings aren’t about having a slim, royal look. Their story challenges stereotypes and encourages us to accept and love ourselves and others. It’s a reminder that real beauty comes from within.

11. Prince Eric

Check out Prince Eric with his new look! He’s showing us that you don’t have to have a slim body to be a true hero.

12. Rapunzel

Rapunzel is rocking her new princess look with her flowing locks. She’s proving that climbing a tower of confidence doesn’t require a slender figure.

Due to contemporary beauty norms, styling a plus-size body can be more challenging. However, one woman stepped up to help by sharing smart and innovative tips on how to enhance the look of any outfit for a fuller figure.

Fictional characters don't have to be realistic, but young children are sensitive to suggestion, and the suggestions of Disney princesses being tiny and thin CAN be very damaging. I think it IS exaggerated in this article. And I think recent characters like Moana and Mirabel and mei mei, are healthier examples of a girl's body.

As true as it is that they were made to be unrealistic even with corsets there is still some thickness, they need to at least make them a bit skinnier with the ones in the corset, without the corset it would make more sense for some of the art pieces to be thicker, most ppl in these comments on the pictures are just set off by thicker bodies and call everything they see that isn't a barbie doll skinniness 'obese' its interesting to see how they tried though. A few edits then it should be alright. Most are also still children therefore they would also be skinnier still, the dresses would also need heavy alterations because the way they are designed by default is to fit a unrealistic hourglass/worm like body not a thicker or realistic one, there's a good bit that needs editing if you choose to make them realistic, i'd recommend a massive work critique and redraw, keep in mind ages.

"Artist redesigns characters that were perfectly fine to begin with, and makes them heavier"
Why?

I think the idea is refreshing - BUT these princesses don't all need to go from too skinny to plus-size lol. They're not all American girls circa 2024, Cinderella is likely not even getting fed like she should - Tianna either. I've neve seen a thick French girl they walk everywhere over there, be realistic if you're gonna be realistic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
