Well I completely respect the point you are trying to make, realistically, given the time period that these women were supposed to be in, their body type really isn't that unrealistic. I completely agree with you that women should never be subjectified or told that they can't wear something just because of their weight, which by the way, those outfits look fabulous on you! Realistically, those princesses were the accurate size for the time that they were in. That was one thing that Disney was very known for, was ensuring geographical and historical accuracy in the sense that the characters always match the time period as well as the location.
