Elsa's magical clothes really aren't meant to fit into that world because she isn't. She should look out of place. I think the design choices were brilliant.
Erica Ashby I agree, now that we know she’s different because of frozen 2, her outfit should stand out. But since we didn’t really know this in the first movie, it didn’t feel right then
I feel your cute design is something she'd transition into more after the town accepts her. Don't get me wrong, it fits so well! But I feel they made her so out of time period or tradition because she feels betrayed, and is throwing away what she was raised in, "letting it go" since she feels an outcast, and more herself when she isn't tied to the timeline and tradition of the town that fears her
Plus it would be cute that after she saves Anna, their love transforms her, like the cliche float in the sky and be cured of the curse, the curse of shame or something metaphorical like that
4:16 I love the outfit but imagine this: “The cold never bothered me anyway!~” *skates off screen really determined* Or When she shot her sister: “ANNA!” *hurriedly skates towards her* Edit: I know there convertible but I found the thought funny
Um, this is only my opinion and you can totally disagree, but I don’t think the crown was needed because Elsa was trying to run away from the responsibilities, not just the people. She was running away from the fear of leading the people. Otherwise I think this was a really great redesign!
She was running away from the person she was supposed to become. Instead, she became her own person. I doubt the work was ever the problem, but the fact that she was supposed to act a role that wasn't herself in front of the whole people. With her secret out, and everyone accepting it, she doesn't have to play a role anymore, even as a queen. She can be her own kind of a queen.
I think one of the reasons that Disney made Elsa's costume so 2017 prom-like, was because the material that resembles that is very cheap, so they could make dolls and costumes easier, and cheaper. Also, she has ice and snow powers, so they wanted to make look magical, icy, and frosty - basically what most people think of as a magical ice princess... even though she's a queen.
Jasey Rae You can’t really change the color of ice They chose this very specific set of colors for ice so everything made with ice/ice magic is this set of colors (including the dress that was made out of magic)
after watching frozen 2, it makes more sense that she didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the characters as much. doesn’t excuse her dress being super modern, though!
Tbh even back then it made more sense the way Diesney did it. Elsa forced herself to fit in and got fueled in that way by her father. At the end of the first movie she turned more into herself which isn't the same as Anna.
@@CenerothXaris no it didn’t cause for me it’s the fact that frozen clearly takes place in a pre-technology past. And all the clothers are matched to that exept Elsa’s, witch just confuses the timeline.
@@discoverweekly4199 i still don’t get how Elsa is even the “fift” spirit or whathever it was, i just imagine the god from Moana coming in and being like DUDE YOU JUST A FORM OF WATER, AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY POOR HORSE.
Although I love Elsa’s dress, I do agree it was way too modern. However, my only problem with your redesign (which was absolutely gorgeous, I’m just hoping to give some constructive criticism) is how warm it looks. I understand the cape and the boots, I thought those were absolutely adorable, but the dress and the gloves especially seemed a little too warm for someone who isn’t affected by the cold and would probably be more comfortable in it than in the heat. Also, frozen seems to have this thing with gloves where they’re hiding their true selves when wearing them (hence Elsa and Hans). I just felt like I needed to point that out. Please don’t see this as rude, I absolutely adore this drawing, it’s just some of the aspects in her character that I think werent portrayed very well
I think the idea of Elsa dressing like Anna originally was to prove how hard she tried to fit in - and at the end of the movie, she really didn't have to, hence the different fabric choices/less modest/etc. however I do agree that the heels were weird - they may have been added to show that she does things that may not make sense to other people (her coping mechanisms, for example) but worked for her. I did a whole paper in college on Frozen and it's representation of mental illness, so I looked waaay to hard into the movie lmao
Hey, hum, please, can you (if you still have it and if it's in a computer format) give me your paper ? It seems very interesting ! If not, can you resume what mental illness this film represent ?
Yeah, plus I feel like the whole point of the light blue is to make it look like ice. And all the warm wool clothing makes it look like she doesn’t like the cold.
I actually thought the same. Then i read your comment. Everything you said was spot on... Not to mention her style was unique in that she had embraced her own personal uniqueness, and more modern reflecting the modernity of her attitude etc. Annyyway, agree. Lol.
FUNFACT: she wears a purple cape before right? And as she lets it fly away in the song , She lets her royal tital fly away . Purple was considered a royal colour back in the Days ^^
Not necessarily. Depending on how you treat the dyes, you can get a very nice light purple with lycan. DARK purple, however, is another story. Back before synthetic dyes, the only way to get a super rich and dark purple was with tiny shells from the Mediterranean sea, so therefore extremely expensive, leading dark purple to take the second most expensive dye color, right after scarlet, which was called kermes, and was made from the dried shells of a certain type of beetle.
@@avylol08 not that they weren't, they just couldn't afford it.a lot of kings and queens couldnt afford it either which is why we don't always see them wearing purple
Great video, I enjoyed it a lot and the drawing. But I do wanna say, in defense of the movie, the attire was a writing choice. It symbolized her rejection of her previous self which is why her new clothes were opposite of her old ones. Her old clothes were conservative, tight, calm, and blending. But the new ones were free, extravagant, loud, and attracting. The same goes for her hairstyle. Her tucked-in, well kept hair is change out for a free and wild look that shows off her hair more. It’s her cocoon to butterfly transformation to show she’s no longer going to be this person who tries to blend in, having to be reserved and calm, holding up expectations, and not drawing attention to herself. So every aspect of her old clothes was flipped because they are a symbol of who she was and the flip represents how she has changed and revealed with the clothes how she wants to be. When I saw this scene, the inverse of her look I felt was a pretty powerful message. But you made a really cool look, I just wanted to share my perspective on the subject.
zat1245 9 months late, but I completely agree. I think that's also the reason Elsa and Anna's clothes clash at the end, because their relationship is better when Elsa is trying to be herself instead of conforming
Also, and I'm sure this was mentioned, her dress was made of ice. It had to look like ice. It's not like she stopped find a tailor during her big rebellion scene.
Yes thank you! The sisters were closer in style at the beginning because Elsa was forcing herself into that role. When they become closer, they have very different outfits. They are different people, but they are sisters and best friends and I think their outfits really do a good job of showing that
I completely Agree! I was thinking this through the whole video. She made elsa looks so cozy Just like everyone else. Elsa is wearing less clothing to show she doesn’t feel the cold. And that she is different To everyone else. I think the look of her was pretty but, Not meant to elsa. The sister weren’t clothe because she was forced to keep a role. Even in real life no sister has same taste. I personally only have a halve sister and we are pretty similar but not all are
@@toshadauderman5736 they gave the Disney jasmine clothes that in their place are for maidens and certainly not for princesses.... in the live action movie the way they dressed jasmine was sO GOOD because it was traditional clothing for princesses
It definitely bothered me throughout the movie that Elsa changed her outfit to this sparkly prom-dress that completely went against the time period she was in. And saying her ice-magic made it just doesn't make sense to me either. It obviously looks like fabric for the most part. A story about magic or not, Elsa has ice magic. She's not a fairy-godmother from Cinderella. I think Disney pressed the marketing a bit too much on Elsa and they made it way too obvious. The idea of ice skates instead of heels actually sounds a lot of fun to me and I love what you did with her hair and the tiny crown. What I would personally do differently is making her design a bit more elegant and snow-queen like instead of the wooly cape and boots. Throughout the story, Elsa really comes off as this somewhat reserved and quiet woman. Cold and distant though warm to those she cares about. I think Disney could have done better with her personality but those traits even somewhat show when she's younger. She is considerably quieter than her sister, who is louder anyway but Elsa just seems quiet and reserved in general to me. The elegance really fits her character in my opinion because she is based on the Snow Queen from the original story. I would also not add gloves because I doubt she would ever want to wear them again, considering she was forced to wear them to conceal her powers.
Since we don’t know how her making the dress works properly, my guess is that she froze over the fabric of her old dress, that way it’s still got this icy look to it but it also still looks like fabric. Also since the fabric to her newer dress looks a lot thinner to her old dress, maybe she just froze the black dress underneath that she was wearing?
Everyone is telling everyone else to chill and stuff... They're just stating their opinions please... And saying points that LavenderTowne missed, I don't think they're haters...
@@skynght3866 yes! Also, I was afraid it might be interpreted as hate, but in the redraw that lavendertowne made, Elsa wore gloves. gloves- gloves... she used gloves to hide her powers, and in the choreography in the movie she threw off her remaining glove to the wind. I don't get why she would choose to craft herself new gloves. Of course, the redraw looks amazing, and very comfy and dreamlike. The gloves are just a tiny detail (:
I agree with you, but people who are being rude to the people saying their opinion well those “haters” are staying there opinion too and everyone is allowed to do that but I still think you’re right.
I think I agree with both the comments section and LavenderTowne. However, I think you could have made her clothes out of ice-like things. Despite the time period, I think she should have pretty light clothing because she isn't affected by the cold.
Okay there is too many hate comments for my replies of this: Shut the hell up because LavenderTowne is probalby the best youtuber to have art tips.watch this video if you dont believe me and check the comments when your done.complaining wont explain anything. ua-cam.com/video/ylXmXeKFjNc/v-deo.html I am giving this comment to all who hate on this.
Mary Reynolds ... what? Please, next time you want to type out a rage sentence please use your punctuation so I can actually understand what the hell is being said XD But also, it ain’t hate, it’s just a critique or advice. It’s a magical will called opinions!! This person is merely stating what they would have done differently. Believe it or not, but not even professionals are perfect.
Mary Reynolds That's really rude? They were giving lavender towne a little bit of constructive critisim calmly anf you replied very rudely. Lavender Towne's artworks are very pretty and aestheticly pleasing in my opinion but different people have different opinions and this person stated theirs not very harshly.
I really did hate how her dress was too modern too. I understand if it had modern elements but I think to be more cohesive it should have kept the look of that time period and culture.

Not once were they complaining about LavenderTowne's art Mary. You need to actually read the comment before you say ANYTHING about how they're "complaining". besides, even if they were complaining, it's their opinion, and you don't need to be so rude about it. it would probably be better if you kept rude comments like this to yourself. I get you are defending an artist and their styles, but, being a fellow artist, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Maria Reynolds 1.hamilton references with that username am I right? 2.Arianna was referring to the original dress used in the Disney movie 3. Well done for standing up for lavender towne (even tough it wasn’t rlly needed ;3)
No hate or anything, the outfit was great! But I have like 2 “complaints”. Please do not think I am trying to degrade the outfit whatsoever and I am just trying to state my opinion about the outfit. :) So first what I would like to say is, is that if Elsa transformed into this version of her during that epic transformation in the song I don’t think it would be as exciting as it is. She’s showing her true colors and that she isn’t like everyone else, she just wants to be her self and if she wore this outfit I feel like she’d still fit in a lot more and wouldn’t really be different. I may be a year late but I just discovered this channel and I absolutely love it, I am in no matter trying to send hate to your design or you because all of the designs you make are wonderful! Please don’t attack me subscribers-
Elsa changed into the most uncomfortable looking outfit imaginable. Me? I would have changed into a tshirt and sweatpants. Not to meantion some fluffy socks.
i havent finished the video but i think that at the end of the movie the contrast between her and anna was a nice story telling element because it shows how anna and her are closer now that she doesn't have to hide who she really is
I'm sorry that this is long, but I wanted to get my thoughts down about the design! I think the comments here aren't particularly helpful. I'm not saying that because they're against the design, but more on how they're presented. There is various "Hate this" or "I like the original better" which aren't good critiques at all. I'm taking a media class so I guess I notice this more often now. I thought the design was nice, but I did have some thoughts on it. The original dress was unpleasing to look at because it didn't fit with the rest of the characters. Others have said this was because "It was meant to show that she was different" and I totally get that! But I wish that it was a dress that fit in with the era of the characters. It looked too modern in my opinion and didn't give me a sense of magic when she created it. For Lavendertowne's design I thought that she did well in making it seem to be in the same time with the other characters. The thought behind it made since and the colors weren't in your face. I actually really liked the thought of Elsa making her shoes into skates so that she could skate around her castle! I thought that would be an interesting thing to see in the movie since it was a fond memory for her and Anna. My problem with the design was that I thought it was TOO fitting. When I say this I mean that I felt the design was too close to what Anna was wearing. While it was practical, I wish that it would be easier to tell that there was something visually different about Elsa beside her bright hair and snowflakes in her dress. I might be twisting my words with saying "I think it fits" and "She doesn't pop as much" So I'm sorry if I'm not making my meanings clear! And others in the section had pointed out that Elsa's dress was made out of ice, so it wouldn't be possible for her to use fur or leather in her design. I would make a comment about that was well, but have you seen the concept art of Elsa? They're wonderful and obviously made out of other materials, and it manages to make her fit in with the time yet look different! All in all, each design was made with a purpose in mind and I'm sure they're justifiable, with their own ups and downs. I thought your design was nice and it gave a feeling of "Fantasy" like the concept art for Elsa.
No problem! I hope we get to see more videos like this in the future since it makes for an interesting video. Thank you for the content and have a nice day!
Maybe special effects like a little icing on her dress and cape, and making her skates and crown "shine" a bit or someting would do it for the fantasy theme. Just get off the gloves and then it's perfect.
Above all, really great drawing!! The only thing I would change would be the fact that Elsa should have gloves in this dress since she not holding back anymore. But yeah, high heels in the snow? The ice skates are a cool idea though!😄
When it comes to Disney princesses' final dress's/designs... Here are a few that have always bugged me. Fa Mulan: The color palette of her green dress always felt like it never belong. Like her outfit should feel strong, graceful, but a little manly as well. To reflect on everything she had been through. OR more extravagant, as the savior of China. It just never felt right. Merida: I feel like, given she is more of a tomboy type, her main dress could have been designed better. Maybe change partway through the movie to reflect her change. Jane: While her dress is meant to be impractical, she's still a smart character. I've always thought, given she's smart and the daughter of such a smart man of the time, she would have made a more practical decision for exploration.... And still have it look impractical, since that was the point of the dress. Ariel: For her blue dress in the end, I feel like it could have been changed. Color-wise, I feel like it contrasted too much with her hair and didn't feel special at all. Kida: The princess everyone forgets about... Her clothes throughout the story is fine, but I feel like her royal garb doesn't fit in with her tribe of people. Although, I'm remembering most of these from memory, so I could be off with some of them. :')
Nae Harris I agree, but even then, it was a bit ridiculous to think that nobody told her not to wear that ridiculous dress... Even if she happens to be lacking in the common sense department, if someone were to tell her, she would surely be able to understand this. But it should still be over the top! I just feel Disney went a little *too* far with it.
It makes me sad that the lower I go on these comments. Everyone is just saying that they like the original for the most part. Some explain their point very well, so if you are reading this and you're one of the ones who explained yourself and why you liked the original better, thank you for doing that. It's disheartening to see where people just commented on the fact that they like the Disney version, and then just leave without giving an explanation why. I personally love your redesign, and I always love watching your work here on UA-cam! This is a very creative idea, and I looked forward to seeing more of these. Cant wait to see what character you make a cute redesign for next! Ps, don't sweat forgetting how important her taking off her gloves were. I honestly forgot they had mattered at all. Such a tiny detail which equated to being a big deal in the movie. It's an easy thing to not notice right away.
The design is very good, but I feel like a big part of Frozen's story was figuring out that Elsa didn't have to pretend to be someone she's not. That would be a very justifiable reason why her clothes are so different than the traditional clothes that Ana wears, to give a loud statement that says they're not the same, even though they are sisters.
Kass.Shut the hell up because LavenderTowne is probalby the best youtuber to have art tips.watch this video if you dont believe me and check the comments when your done.complaining wont explain anything. ua-cam.com/video/ylXmXeKFjNc/v-deo.html I am giving this comment to all who hate on this.
I find it interesting how everyone is saying 'you can't make fur out of ice' when Elsa made flowers in Frozen Fever - and the high heels and long cape look like more of a hindrance in the film than a help.Elsa's original dress is a beautiful design, but I agree in that it doesn't /look/ right with the rest of the film. Although it's symbolic of her changing from her society, when she's next to Elsa on the infinite frozen merchandise, if I hadn't watched the film I wouldn't know that they were sisters at all. My point is that symbolism is important, but there still has to be a sibilance to the aesthetic, or it can look confused. I feel like there's a happy medium between both of these dresses that would satisfy everyone. > u> (It is adorable - good job!)
Your redesign is very cute~ People seem very determined to drive home the fact that Elsa's dress was made the way it was because she's "Not like everyone else", but even so her dress just didnt fit. I too thought she stood out TOO much. She doesnt have to wear flashy, sexy attire to stand out from the crowd. Her hair alone would make her easily identifiable. And heels in the snow? Being immune to the cold or not, they're just to unnecessary. Ice skates and boots are such a lovely idea. Heck the boots can even have a small heel to them! But those kinds of heels she has in the movie are just... They don't fit. Ahh anyways, I really enjoyed your redesign and while I can sort of see why people like the original, I personally see to many flaws and faults in it and appreciate yours much more.
Mynx She just walks on water like it’s nothing. She wouldnt really need to to walk in the snow, although I do like the look of the ice skates better. As really well designed and cute as this is, it really does kinda take away from the whole point of the dress, although I do I agree it looks a little to much like a prom dress (plastic looking bodice and all). She makes it look all warm and cuddly which does kinda take away from the whole “I don’t feel the cold”. Also, the color change (as beautiful as it is) kind takes away from the fact that her dress is literally made out of ice magic. Ye. Still, beautiful and cute design, but it kinda ignores so many of the points the original design. It looks like something Elsa would wear BEFORE she freed herself
Mynx I get it, although I just looked back at my comment and JESUS CHRIST what was that spelling grammar????!!! I fixed a couple things in there to see if it makes more sense. Sorry for the lengthy post😅
@@nubigenous I mean walking with heels on ice it's like impossible not to mention that the heels are made out of ice soooo yea would have been better being barefoot but like idk bro ¯\_(•-•)_/¯
The redesign is nice and really cute, but it does suit Anna a lot more than it does Elsa. Part of Elsa's character was the fact that she was different, which is why visually, she looks so different. It's a visual metaphor for Elsa's emotions and how Elsa feels. 1. Elsa's dress is a manifestation and creation of her own powers. She can walk around in the cold in heels because she MADE them from her own powers. It's meant to be symbolic of Elsa being comfortable with using her powers. Elsa is literally immune to the cold, which is why she can live in a palace made of ice in the mountains while Anna and Kristoff had to wear full blizzard gear. 2. They look so different in the end because they're meant to be different. Elsa trying to be a traditional, good princess, is what was causing her so much stress and such an inability to control her powers. At the end, she's much more relaxed and comfortable BEING DIFFERENT as opposed to trying to be the same as Anna and everyone else. Which is why at the end, she doesn't change back into more traditional clothing, because now she is comfortable being different around everyone else. She no longer tries to hide the fact that she's different, she embraces it and doesn't mind showing people anymore. 3. Eyeshadow dates back to 10,000 BC. The earliest eyeshadow was basically made out of minerals, stones, crushed bugs, plants, etc. All you need to make purple eyeshadow is purple pigment, which could have come from minerals and stones such as amethyst. Not to mention, trade is shown to be existed in the area. It isn't unlikely that they can obtain things from other far away countries.
ella jones idk I don't see why fur can't be made of ice-magic I mean if satin, tuelle & sequins can, then why not fur? (edit) sorry I just noticed this comment was kinda old ^^;
It's really pretty. But I just don't think it fits her character at all. Maybe after the movie, maybe. But for the time when she actually made her dress (out of ice) it just feels way too restrictive, even if you removed the gloves. Elsa doesnt feel the cold. So she has literally no need for thick cloth or fur. (I don't remember seeing her breath fogging up once in the movie, like the cold doesnt affect her at all.) And she's spent her entire life completely covered up. I do agree that the shoes she has originally are super impractical though, though I feel like it would fit more for her to go barefoot. Also the crown thing, Elsa ran from her responsibilities, she threw them away with her former life, literally in the case of the crown itself, and I don't think she'd make herself a new one, though again, maybe after the movie.
she redrew this design to be after the movie when they are ice skating together in the square. lavender said in the video that it was weird that she was wearing that dress at the end rather than something more practical
Yeah ok. I didnt hear that it was a redesign for after the movie. I still don't really think it fits, though it fits a lot better if its after the whole, power of love thing.
I feel like even at the end, it's not a really good idea to redesign her character in general. That'd be like saying, "here's who you were, now here's what you became." It's giving more of a message saying, "here's who you were, now you're the same person but in a different situation." Therefore, the dress stayed. (and they didn't want to make a third outfit which would take a huge amount of work)
I understand the rationale but I think growing up in a society where nobody wears slinky dresses with a slit up the leg, it'd be pretty strange to suddenly design one for yourself. It'd be just as out of place as her wearing like, hammer pants or something else from a totally different era. At least that was my rationale. c: I wasn't thinking about protecting her from the cold so much as being more accurate to the time and place. As for the crown, I thought she might want one as she made herself a huge dramatic castle, so I thought she still had a desire to be royal, just in her own way. But again, that was just my interpretation. c:
@@roro6.20 Oh no, I agree on them there, the gloves are a pretty important metaphor for the restrained life she has been living up until now, so keeping them wouldn't make much sense. Doesn't mean LavenderTowne's design isn't amazing though
@@phiikichi oh yea i didn't think of that actually, you have a good point! it would actually not make much sense if there were gloves in her transformation design because she's supposed to break free from hiding her power for her entire life using gloves.
they may have designed her dress so differently to show that she is very different from everyone else (as she has the ice powers) however I completely agree that it is a little visually confusing and displeasing
I don't get what you all have against this design. It's a creative gorgeous design, which looks (opinion alert) way better than the Disney one. You made her look more royal, cold and natural at the same time. Keep it up!
i completely agree with her about the time periode, however i think it looked a little pedestrian, it could look like an fantasy ice QUEEN, but it kinda lookes like anyone in the village
I personaly think that she could've had the more cold look, rather than the winter-esc look. YOURS IS STILL AMAZING THO the cold never bothered her anyway
I think the reason why her dress is the way it is is because 1; it's made of magical ice, 2; It feels alot easier and makes her feel free since it's more light to wear, which fits with the whole concept of ''Let it Go''
But why give Elsa warm clothing when she isn't bothered by the cold, I mean that was one of the things her parents made her do when she was younger to hide that she was different.Elsa's hair is that color due to her powers, which in fairness is pretty obvious when looking at her sister and her parents who all have brown or reddish(strawberry blonde) hair, this is also why she is so pale. Elsa basically forsook being royal at the beginning of the movie which is why the continuously cut out lines that referred to her as the queen of ice and snow, she doesn't even refer to herself as such, Putting Elsa in a royal color contradicts the musical number LET IT GO when Elsa takes off her cape that was a royal purple to signify how she was leaving royalty behind and living her life free.Anna's clothes were designed after where the story takes place, being Norway, not fairy-tales. Also the reason Elsa is designed the way she is is because it was to represent that being your self and unique in more powerful then hiding who you truly are. Everything on her after the transformation was made with her ice magic including, oddly enough, her makeup which was the same color as parts of the ice castle; purple. Her and Anna look different, design wise, because they have two different personalities and it was to show that you don't have to look like those you love. Other then that the design was good.
She was able to keep Olaf around with his own special flurry. So it wouldn't be too hard to keep her dress. Though I do agree once she actually took her place as Queen at the end, she should've at least dressed more modestly. The dress she made out of ice fit really well with the entire frozen ice castle scene.
everyone complaining about how the redesign is shit, because "the old one was supposed to be different and symbolic!!1!" Cmon guys, not only are some of you being super rude, but you're missing the point! Lavender missed SOME of the symbolism, sure. But Elsa could've been "unique" without mysteriously knowing what Polyester, Sequins, and Tulle are. It's PRETTY obvious Elsa's dress is made of cheap, modern fabrics for marketing's sake alone. (now all the shitty halloween costumes look just like the movie!!1)
Look man, I haven't seen not one person dissing her redesign. There are people who disagree with her sure, but most of the people I've seen commenting on here, seem to be very polite, and while they like her redesign, they have problems with it as well in terms of how it doesn't fit well with the story or character of Elsa. It's a nice design, very cute, but it really doesn't fit with Elsa. Sure, it fits in with her people, but not Elsa herself, as Elsa doesn't fit in with her people, so I think it's appropriate that her attire reflects that. And I'm pretty sure her dress isn't actually made with polyester, sequins, and tulle. At least not in the movie. Sure, her merchandise might be made out of it, but in the movie I'm pretty sure it's just made out of ice. In fact, I'm pretty sure she didn't know what they were per se, but perhaps she invented them? Like, cause look, I think the point of her dress transformation wasn't just to sell merch to little girls (I mean, I'm not saying that *wasn't* a factor in their decision, just that it wasn't the only one) but I think the point was also to express herself, and show off her creativity. So I think perhaps in the movie's lore, she created a dress that was entirely and uniquely her's, and unlike any in Arendelle. In short, it's not just a cheap dress made out of cheap materials to sell to children, but it is an extension of herself and her powers. Something she truly owns for the first time. And I think that's about it for me. Sorry I made such a long comment to someone who commented almost a year ago, and has probably forgotten about this. I hope if you manage to read all of this and decide to respond that you would be kind, as I mean no harm to you. You have your opinions and I have mine, and all I wish to do is allow you to perhaps see a different perspective. I hope you have a wonderful day. :)
Most of the comments I've seen criticizing her have been very polite. You're right, Elsa could've been unique without those things, her having heels in her original design is strange, and I do think that Elsa's dress should've related more to Norwegian culture. A redesign incorporating that would be very interesting. However, Elsa's real design makes way more sense than what Lavender drew. The crown and the wool that Lavender gave makes no sense. That's my opinion though. Also, I don't know where you got "cheap modern fabrics" from, it's an animation. Look up "Elsa Costume" and "Elsa's Dress". None of the costume dresses I saw looked anything as good as Elsa's actual dress.
It bugged me a little that you refered to their outfits as just fairytale outfits or something that you only find in fairytales. Frozen is based in Norway and their outfits are clearly inspired by the Bunad, Norways national costume. But the redesign is lovely! Would be fun seeing you giving other charcters a more fitting or realistic design!
Bambee Boo kind of bugged me too! But.....seriously her ice dress was too much! And also this redesign was more Norwegian in some ways than the original eh?
Clover Coin nono ofc I totally understand she wouldnt know! I do art too and I dont believe that she has to know everything. Just put my opinion out there, and since I'm Norwegian I'm just a little proud that these characters outfits are inspired by our Bunad. But I'm sorry if the way I worded myself made me seem a little mad
Ethereal Priestess im glad im not the only one who noticed! Tbh I never thought that much about the ice dress, but she was totally right it didn't fit in. Her design is alot more fitting! Only thing I feel that is similiar to bunads is her little cap. Its a super cute design but would be so cool if she looked up bunads and try to draw smth more similar to that! Or atleast I think it would be cool haha
I though about that too haha. I think her redesign is lovely, but I'd love to see it made a little more bunad-ish. I really prefer Elsa's first dress rather than her second one due to it looking more like a bunad.
Me: *Watching video* My little sister: *BUSTES IN ROOM* Mommy sissy is WATCHING NAKED PEOPLE!!!!!!! Me: What the fu- *mom walks in* WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?
ArtKitteh Gurl This happens all the time with me. My mom once walked in on me while I was drawing, and thought the people were naked. She grounded me, but then I explained
I really thought the design of Elsa's dress was more symbolic, it wasn't supposed to look like Anna's because Anna is a typical Disney princess (love at first sight) she where's the same old fairy tale clothes. However Elsa is different (indapendent and she doesn't need a man) and so she doesn't look like all the other disney princesses. But it was an amazing idea and I really love it. 😆
Yeah, I think Elsa’s snow dress was actually very interesting by its difference bc the two sisters are closer at the end of the movie even if Elsa doesn’t fit with the rest of her kingdom. This was a pretty cool tolerance though for children that would have been less understandable with the design Lavender Towne imagine. (Even if it’s not bas at all)
Nicole, doing something for fun doesn't make it impenetrable from criticism, let them give their opinions! Everything I draw is for fun, but I still want tips on how to improve it.
Hello! This was a lovely idea and design but I would like to fact bomb you! Please don't take this offensively, I'm just trying to let you know the background info on their costumes. First off, I completely agree with you that Elsa's dress doesn't fit at all. Frozen takes place in Norway. Arendele is a real place (been there) but it's pronounced are, not air. Anna's dress is called a bonad, which is a traditional Norwegian dress that can also be a suit for men (Hans wears one). Anna's dress isn't a fairy tale dress, it's an actual dress from Norway! Your design fits much much better but it wasn't in style to have short dresses (considered scandalous) and they wouldn't normally wear much fur unless on an expedition or work. Especially if Royal... All in all, your design fit much better! Don't take this the wrong way please! Thank you and have a wonderful day! TOODLES! ~unicorns are real~
Yes, this is true! I was going to comment on the Bunad thing, but you got there first. I would also like to point out that all bunads are different depending on where they come from. For example, Bergen bunads are more red compared to the bunads around Ålesund (in the area of Skodje, because that's where I've seen them) which are black. So I think taking inspiration from the bunads of Arendelle (or perhaps Finmark, as they are furthest north?) for Elsa would be a good way to redesign her outfit. Maybe that's just me, though.
@@blueskysandbutterflys I don't think its the art style, The Elsa here has the potential to look a lot mature, I think she seems a bit childish because she is all bundled up in stuff like a baby and her facial expression doesn't match Elsa's personality, it looks more like Anna s personality
Hey I hate to bring this up but Elsa wouldn't wear gloves. In cartoons gloves represent hiding something or secret intentions. They also very clearly address this in the movie by the gloves as a layer between her and her powers and the the people around her. When she throws the gloves in let it go she is letting go of her secrets and is coming clean even to herself. This is not only apparent in her design but also in hans design. Before he shows his true colors he wears gloves but when the twist happens and he reveals his true intentions he takes the gloves off. Normally I wouldn't comment something like this but I felt as though it was integral as a metaphor to the story and character that made absolute sense. Also I believe the dress and its modern design was meant to be a juxtaposition to the the townspeople because Elsa is different. When we see this we're meant to see Elsa revealing her true nature. The clothes act as a symbol for Elsa. I enjoy your design a lot but I think that making her look like everyone else defeats the point of Elsa's self doubt and eventual character evolution.
Pepperoni Pixel It’s called an opinion, which is where people share what they think about something. Complaining requires someone to be rude and unhelpful, which this person was neither.
I dont think you should have called this 'fixing elsa's dress'. Your new drawing was very beautiful and well done but it didnt fix the dress. It eliminated a lot of the symbolism in her ice dress that didnt really need 'fixing'. You could have made the video 'drawing elsa in a different style' and it would have ended in a lot less backlash.
egg Head she drew it in her style but she still changed a lot of things. Changing a characters clothing when the character isn’t yours isn’t a style. She had changed MANY key assets of Elsa and what’s she’s known for. For example, almost every one who’s seen frozen knows that Elsa can make clothing from ice, she changed that, frozen heals, changed as well. I’m very fond of her videos but I just think she changed Elsas clothing too much. To the point where if I had never seen either movies and I saw the original Elsa and this elsa I’d think they were sisters or mother and daughter
@@shojodraws3399 No, it didn't. The original dress had a lot of meaning, it represented the new freedom of Elsa, the fact that she was different from other people and she didn't need to hide behind a sober and elegant dress and gloves. This design is pretty, but it loses every meaning the original outfit had about the personality and development of the character.
I understand where you're coming from, but I think they intentionally made her clothes so weird because she was seen so different, & she was supposed to accept her differences. Anna fits in with the normal ideals of beauty & happiness, where Elsa doesn't. Her new dress & outfit makes Else physically show how different she is on the inside.
Disney also originally had Elsa slated as the villain, I believe they changed the plot part way through the production, so they may have kept her dress as it was (or softened it a lil) to save time or work that had already been done. But I totally agree, the disparity between the sisters' designs helps solidify their differences; although I've always found Elsa's makeup was a tad too severe for her, the dress was perfectly /her/, y'know? Also her shoes... heels and ice do not mix well, snow queen or not :P
I'm so glad someone else is bothered by the modern design choices made with Elsa! It shows Disney absolutely designed her based around making dolls rather than any semblance of reality 😕 the ice skate idea is GENIUS I really want to give this redesign a try myself now 💕
I wouldn't have put the spiekes in her hair but the rest of the design is realy great! I think Frozen is overrated. I honestly don't like that movie. But Big Hero 6 is great! Maybe you can redraw one of them? They are not princesses but...
So many people are complaining about or arguing against the point made about how incredibly and strangely different Else and Anna look, and yeah, she changes but she doesn't move centuries into the future people, jeez- and if we wanna keep going down the symbolic route, yes, Elsa's synthetic outfit choice may have been totally symbolic of her change still, transitioning into her freedom, but then she changes once again at the end of the movie to realize her mistakes, and her friendship with her sister, so where is drastic oufit change number two then??
Is it ok if I disagree? I don't think the dress was meant to be like Elsa having future vision or something and predicting dress designs of the future, but rather, my interpretation of this is that, Elsa made a dress that was entirely new to her world, one unlike any other seen in Arendelle. I think perhaps she invented the dress. She didn't base her design off of anything in her kingdom, and just made whatever felt right to her, almost as if on impulse. It was something unique and entirely hers. And for the first time in forever (excuse the reference it was unintended), she had control over her own everything. Her powers, her life, her destiny. All of it was hers, and it was in part represented by her dress. And also even though her character goes through another significant change near the end of the movie, don't you think it'd be kinda jarring to have another dress change sequence? I mean, what, is she supposed to change her dress every time she realizes something? No. It's better if it was a one time thing, because that makes it more special. If she were to have another, it would kinda dilute the importance of the scene. Plus I'm pretty sure they wanted the dress to be pretty iconic and recognizable, so changing it again might not be in their best interests. After all, when you look at other Disney princesses, the "special dress" is often the one they keep till the end of the movie. Not always, but most times. You don't see kids wearing the dress Bell wore before she danced with the Beast, right? It's like that I guess. Anyway, just my thoughts. It's not that her points aren't valid, just that people recognize that the people of Disney had reasons for doing what they did, and are just pointing out things that she may have missed. Heck, there are even some points I agree with her on in a way, but I guess my answer for them is just "magic". Why does she have eye shadow? Magic. Why does she wear heels? Magic. How can she run on ice and snow in those heels? Frickin magic. I dunno, but if you ask me, it actually kinda fits with old folktales, in which some things would be the way they are cause magic. No further explanation. So I dunno, but anyway, I really appreciate it if you read this very long comment on a post that you made almost a year ago, and if you decide to respond, please do be kind. I'm only offering up my opinion. Please, have a wonderful day. :)
Wooshy Wooshin It’s just people sharing their opinions. Most people are actually very kind while they are sharing their opinions. So, to say that “many people are complaining” is quite wrong. If you don’t like that, then maybe it’s best to steer clear of the comment section next time.
I think you did a good job! The crown was a really nice touch, and also both culturally accurate and in the original source material! Personally, I really wished they would have stuck with a more traditional bunad. But that is probably just because I'm Norwegian..Then again the ice queen for the original tale is described as tall, thin with a long flowing white dress and fur Cape.
Really pretty but like most comments, not extremely fitting. If the cold doesn't bother her, she'd have no need for clothing so warm and heavy. Perhaps a redesign of Else but in summer Norway clothing? This seems more fitting. I do agree with you not liking her dress and the style being too fantasy based and out of place.
I love this artist ! Her redesign of Elsa (and other princesses) is so awesome because she took a theme from history but also kept vibe from original design :)
It's a beautiful outfit.😄 What I imagined was along the lines of something more regal, like those long slinky gowns they wore in fairy tales. Something on the medieval side, ya know? Especially with the trumpet sleeves. (I just love those!😍) Those sort of gowns can be slimmed down, like a spring or summer gown, or fluffed up for the winter. Elsa is a queen of ice so she doesn't really need to be have warm clothing like her sister. Again, that's just my perspective.😄 Both the original Elsa and your rendition are gorgeous. And can you do another creepypasta drawing video? There's this one I can't remember what it is...I type it below this comment.
The Monster in the Pantry. My favorite.😄 I'd love to see the drawing you'd do for that. And I just LOVE the last creepypasta drawing video you did. Art and storytelling, two of my biggest loves. Aside from pizza.😍🍕
She:Redesining elsas dress* Me: Can it be?! :0 Her: Not making it a bunad* Me:Sad norwegian noyses* ps: The design is so well thought and apealing to the eyes, I love your logic and even if its not traditional, I still love it
I love a more cozy Elsa! I agree that just because she is impervious to cold doesn’t mean she would choose to wear a tight shiny prom dress to chill by herself. If I was running away to do my own thing I know I would choose a more cozy outfit! Love your redraw :)
Scarecrow She was 11 when it happened but i do not think it was messed up. The movie shows john smith as a romantic interest which i think is why you say that. But i heard that historically they had a father daughter type of relationship.
That movie takes place quite some time in the past when women didn't really get practical clothes for anything. There isn't really any reason to redesign her except make her look more modern.
Steallastarz Alpha Which dress? Her jungle one at the end only covering needed areas was practical for the warm and humid jungle, and her yellow dress and boots were meant to be humorously in the way and an obstacle
After I rewatch this video and read the comments I want to note that any artist who can’t take suggestions or constructed criticism then they are over confident with their at pieces. And this particular UA-cam’s does not seem over confident at all. Lavendertowne is probably happy to get these suggestions because people are paying attention to her art. She can handle people who take account into her art.
I love your videos and your art, but I couldn't help but be bothered by this. As everyone else is saying in the comments already, the cold never bothered her anyway. She has no need for any sort of furs whatsoever. She doesn't need anything to make her warm. You actually sort of contradicted yourself in the video when you said you wanted her to be more like Anna but you wanted to distinguish her more. Also, Frozen was based in Norway, so the dress was actually based off traditional Norwegian designs and not fairytale designs. Part of Elsa's dress design is to distinguish her from Anna. Turning her into this cutesy, almost vulnerable seeming winter girl is contradictory towards everything about Elsa's character. I also wasn't a big fan of this whole idea that her dress needs to be more practical, because (as stated before), Elsa doesn't need her dress to be any more practical than it already is. They live in a world filled with magic. She doesn't get bothered the cold in any way.There isn't any need to change her shoes, add fur, or make anything look thicker. Changing the color scheme I didn't particularly agree with either, because it's too close to her original character design as a villain in my opinion. The lighter shades of blue help make her seem like a good character, while darker tones are usually perceived as more 'villainous'. That also might be why Elsa's villain design had black hair whilst her design in the actual movie depicts her with platinum blond hair. The rosy cheeks and visible breath I found contradictory to her character because (again) the cold never bothered her anyway. The ice crown really, really irked me, though. In Let It Go, she throws her crown away, which is symbolic of her leaving her past and everyone's expectations behind her. To me, there is no reason or logic that she would then create another crown- a royal element. She left everyone's expectations behind her when she ran off to North Mountain. To put it bluntly, I didn't agree with any of your changes. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love your videos, but this video is may be my least favorite yet...
Anna’s dress is inspired by the Norwegian bunad, it’s the Norwegian national clothing. And the entire story of frozen, the place, the clothing, the food, is all inspired by Norway, arendale is inspired exactly on an really old town in Oslo called “arendall”, and the second movie is inspired by the samme another race in Norway, I think it was inspired by the Norwegian rivalry with the samme, just some facts I wanted to share with you! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
I love the art but I really think if it was something like this the movie wouldn't have been as strong? I understand this was just for fun of course but I think she was designed with way more in mind then you might be giving credit. Having her and Anna not look so similar at the end has a strong showing that you don't have to be alike to love someone deeply. I believe her original Ice dress makes her look powerful and gracefully since it's so slick, but personally I think your design wouldn't have held the same effect and she would have had a harder time coming off as a strong and powerful lead. Her design might also still take from the original design of her being the villain and in later stuff she is in a more normal outfit for her time period like in the shorts.
“Doesn’t want to be queen” *Builds an ice palace filled with snow guards, pretty much calls herself the queen of ice, and turns into a queen afterwards*
I think elsa looks like that because she is supposed to look like a snow person, like the snow for her is our beach, and also they wanted her to look goddess like, many dieties have worn dresses similar to that But I do love your design, you defenetly teleported me where you were saying you were trying to
I love your new design and I think it’s super pretty, but I do belive it would’ve been better suited for an outfit she changes into in the epilogue or a Disney short or the sequel. I think the point is that she goes from all of these layers to one flowy piece because it’s showing her from being all covered up and hiding to being free. I also think it should stay a lighter blue (not the tacky teal they used but a different shade of blue) becuase it’s supposed to be an ice color. I also don’t think gloves would be a good idea, the whole point was that her gloves held back her powers. However, I LOVVE the ice skate idea Sssoooo much. That woudlve been stunning. Other than that I lovvvvee this design. It would be super pretty for Elsa in the sequel or maybe another character.
But the whole point of Elsa changing into the awesome dress was like “The cold doesn’t bother me anyway” kinda of quote but you bundled her up too much.. ;-;
It makes since bc she's supposed to stand out and be different and not fit in that's kinda the point of the movie that's most likely the reason Disney designed her that way
I think her final dress in frozen 2 matches a bit more with the other character´s than the one in the first movie. And I have a kinda funnie idea for a video you could make. In this video you re-designed Elsa´s dress into Anna´s style, for a funny contrast, you could make a video where you re-design Anna´s dress into Elsa´s style.
Oh my gosh your design is so cute! I was never really A fan of Elsa. I like Anna much much more, but if this was the design they gave Elsa I would’ve liked her more.

I honestly think wearing heals in the cold is very weird... Wouldnt the heals sink into the snow? But she didnt seem to have troubles walking at all.
I would’ve already fallen down the stairs, made out of ice.
Well, she manipulates ice and snow, so she is probably able to make the snow rigid under her feet. But, that's just a thought.
N A S A _ 3 2
I 1000% agree
They would even slip on the ice
I saw little to no struggles with her running
Ayyy it's 707
And, she can walk and run in her ice palace without it turning into a slip-and-slide.
“Elsa looks like she belongs in a different place than all the other characters”
*Laughs in Frozen 2*
You were right
yes lol
Have you seen the white dress? They do it again. Elsa wears more "human like" clothes until the transformations in both films.
Lmfao
Elsa's magical clothes really aren't meant to fit into that world because she isn't. She should look out of place. I think the design choices were brilliant.
Erica Ashby I agree, now that we know she’s different because of frozen 2, her outfit should stand out. But since we didn’t really know this in the first movie, it didn’t feel right then
I feel your cute design is something she'd transition into more after the town accepts her.
Don't get me wrong, it fits so well! But I feel they made her so out of time period or tradition because she feels betrayed, and is throwing away what she was raised in, "letting it go" since she feels an outcast, and more herself when she isn't tied to the timeline and tradition of the town that fears her
Plus it would be cute that after she saves Anna, their love transforms her, like the cliche float in the sky and be cured of the curse, the curse of shame or something metaphorical like that

LavenderTowne it's okay :D
Um, this is only my opinion and you can totally disagree, but I don’t think the crown was needed because Elsa was trying to run away from the responsibilities, not just the people. She was running away from the fear of leading the people. Otherwise I think this was a really great redesign!
Bloop Arts she’s her own queen
She’s her own queen
She was running away from the person she was supposed to become. Instead, she became her own person. I doubt the work was ever the problem, but the fact that she was supposed to act a role that wasn't herself in front of the whole people. With her secret out, and everyone accepting it, she doesn't have to play a role anymore, even as a queen. She can be her own kind of a queen.
Just wanna say that the title "Frozen" is "Die Eiskönigin" (The queen of ice) in Germany
I agree
I think one of the reasons that Disney made Elsa's costume so 2017 prom-like, was because the material that resembles that is very cheap, so they could make dolls and costumes easier, and cheaper. Also, she has ice and snow powers, so they wanted to make look magical, icy, and frosty - basically what most people think of as a magical ice princess... even though she's a queen.
Eahbunny aj it’s kind of an eye sore, to be honest. It would at least look remotely better if the colors were a different, non eye bleeding, color.
Jasey Rae You can’t really change the color of ice
They chose this very specific set of colors for ice so everything made with ice/ice magic is this set of colors (including the dress that was made out of magic)
after watching frozen 2, it makes more sense that she didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the characters as much. doesn’t excuse her dress being super modern, though!
Tbh even back then it made more sense the way Diesney did it. Elsa forced herself to fit in and got fueled in that way by her father. At the end of the first movie she turned more into herself which isn't the same as Anna.
the whole charades thing made me so angry and confused she was like in this form-fitting fancy gala dress and makeup it just why why why i hate it
@@CenerothXaris no it didn’t cause for me it’s the fact that frozen clearly takes place in a pre-technology past. And all the clothers are matched to that exept Elsa’s, witch just confuses the timeline.

Although I love Elsa’s dress, I do agree it was way too modern. However, my only problem with your redesign (which was absolutely gorgeous, I’m just hoping to give some constructive criticism) is how warm it looks. I understand the cape and the boots, I thought those were absolutely adorable, but the dress and the gloves especially seemed a little too warm for someone who isn’t affected by the cold and would probably be more comfortable in it than in the heat. Also, frozen seems to have this thing with gloves where they’re hiding their true selves when wearing them (hence Elsa and Hans). I just felt like I needed to point that out. Please don’t see this as rude, I absolutely adore this drawing, it’s just some of the aspects in her character that I think werent portrayed very well
Jennis Angel i agree i absolutely love your new design but for someone who loves the cold I don’t think she will want to where this outfit
If she made it herself it would be made of ice anyway.. so I think it’ll still be cold..
Excellently worded.
^^^^
it's like you took the words out of my mouth
I think the idea of Elsa dressing like Anna originally was to prove how hard she tried to fit in - and at the end of the movie, she really didn't have to, hence the different fabric choices/less modest/etc. however I do agree that the heels were weird - they may have been added to show that she does things that may not make sense to other people (her coping mechanisms, for example) but worked for her. I did a whole paper in college on Frozen and it's representation of mental illness, so I looked waaay to hard into the movie lmao
Hey, hum, please, can you (if you still have it and if it's in a computer format) give me your paper ? It seems very interesting !
If not, can you resume what mental illness this film represent ?
Yeah, plus I feel like the whole point of the light blue is to make it look like ice. And all the warm wool clothing makes it look like she doesn’t like the cold.
Man I want to read that paper!! What mental illnesses did you talk about??
I actually thought the same. Then i read your comment. Everything you said was spot on... Not to mention her style was unique in that she had embraced her own personal uniqueness, and more modern reflecting the modernity of her attitude etc. Annyyway, agree. Lol.
Vanessa Benefico Yeah, she also made the dress out of ice, so it makes since for it to look like that.

FUNFACT: she wears a purple cape before right? And as she lets it fly away in the song , She lets her royal tital fly away . Purple was considered a royal colour back in the Days ^^
Not necessarily. Depending on how you treat the dyes, you can get a very nice light purple with lycan. DARK purple, however, is another story. Back before synthetic dyes, the only way to get a super rich and dark purple was with tiny shells from the Mediterranean sea, so therefore extremely expensive, leading dark purple to take the second most expensive dye color, right after scarlet, which was called kermes, and was made from the dried shells of a certain type of beetle.
Actually purple was a royal color because of how hard it was obtained and how expensive it is.
(I made this comment before I read the comments)
Eeveecat 1248 which is why it was a royal color! Common people we're not allowed to wear purple
@@avylol08 not that they weren't, they just couldn't afford it.a lot of kings and queens couldnt afford it either which is why we don't always see them wearing purple
Raven Drawing True!
Great video, I enjoyed it a lot and the drawing. But I do wanna say, in defense of the movie, the attire was a writing choice. It symbolized her rejection of her previous self which is why her new clothes were opposite of her old ones. Her old clothes were conservative, tight, calm, and blending. But the new ones were free, extravagant, loud, and attracting. The same goes for her hairstyle. Her tucked-in, well kept hair is change out for a free and wild look that shows off her hair more. It’s her cocoon to butterfly transformation to show she’s no longer going to be this person who tries to blend in, having to be reserved and calm, holding up expectations, and not drawing attention to herself. So every aspect of her old clothes was flipped because they are a symbol of who she was and the flip represents how she has changed and revealed with the clothes how she wants to be. When I saw this scene, the inverse of her look I felt was a pretty powerful message. But you made a really cool look, I just wanted to share my perspective on the subject.
zat1245 9 months late, but I completely agree. I think that's also the reason Elsa and Anna's clothes clash at the end, because their relationship is better when Elsa is trying to be herself instead of conforming
zat1245 I so agree!
Also, and I'm sure this was mentioned, her dress was made of ice. It had to look like ice. It's not like she stopped find a tailor during her big rebellion scene.
Yes thank you! The sisters were closer in style at the beginning because Elsa was forcing herself into that role. When they become closer, they have very different outfits. They are different people, but they are sisters and best friends and I think their outfits really do a good job of showing that
I completely Agree! I was thinking this through the whole video. She made elsa looks so cozy Just like everyone else. Elsa is wearing less clothing to show she doesn’t feel the cold. And that she is different To everyone else. I think the look of her was pretty but, Not meant to elsa. The sister weren’t clothe because she was forced to keep a role. Even in real life no sister has same taste. I personally only have a halve sister and we are pretty similar but not all are

It definitely bothered me throughout the movie that Elsa changed her outfit to this sparkly prom-dress that completely went against the time period she was in. And saying her ice-magic made it just doesn't make sense to me either. It obviously looks like fabric for the most part. A story about magic or not, Elsa has ice magic. She's not a fairy-godmother from Cinderella. I think Disney pressed the marketing a bit too much on Elsa and they made it way too obvious.
The idea of ice skates instead of heels actually sounds a lot of fun to me and I love what you did with her hair and the tiny crown. What I would personally do differently is making her design a bit more elegant and snow-queen like instead of the wooly cape and boots. Throughout the story, Elsa really comes off as this somewhat reserved and quiet woman. Cold and distant though warm to those she cares about. I think Disney could have done better with her personality but those traits even somewhat show when she's younger. She is considerably quieter than her sister, who is louder anyway but Elsa just seems quiet and reserved in general to me. The elegance really fits her character in my opinion because she is based on the Snow Queen from the original story.
I would also not add gloves because I doubt she would ever want to wear them again, considering she was forced to wear them to conceal her powers.
She’s got glove ptsd😂🤣
Since we don’t know how her making the dress works properly, my guess is that she froze over the fabric of her old dress, that way it’s still got this icy look to it but it also still looks like fabric. Also since the fabric to her newer dress looks a lot thinner to her old dress, maybe she just froze the black dress underneath that she was wearing?
She made her outfit with Disney logic U-U
Evie Lydia
Pretty sure it’s just Disney logic ._.
It’s a movie. 😂😂
Everyone is telling everyone else to chill and stuff... They're just stating their opinions please... And saying points that LavenderTowne missed, I don't think they're haters...
yes i agree
Ya people are over dramatic
@@skynght3866 yes! Also, I was afraid it might be interpreted as hate, but in the redraw that lavendertowne made, Elsa wore gloves. gloves- gloves... she used gloves to hide her powers, and in the choreography in the movie she threw off her remaining glove to the wind. I don't get why she would choose to craft herself new gloves. Of course, the redraw looks amazing, and very comfy and dreamlike. The gloves are just a tiny detail (:
Is that supposed to be a pun? Chill?
I agree with you, but people who are being rude to the people saying their opinion well those “haters” are staying there opinion too and everyone is allowed to do that but I still think you’re right.
I think I agree with both the comments section and LavenderTowne. However, I think you could have made her clothes out of ice-like things. Despite the time period, I think she should have pretty light clothing because she isn't affected by the cold.
Okay there is too many hate comments for my replies of this: Shut the hell up because LavenderTowne is probalby the best youtuber to have art tips.watch this video if you dont believe me and check the comments when your done.complaining wont explain anything. ua-cam.com/video/ylXmXeKFjNc/v-deo.html
I am giving this comment to all who hate on this.
Mary Reynolds
Actually, the comments mostly gave some constructive criticism on the design. Criticism is not hate if it is constructive.
Mary Reynolds this is nowhere near hate it’s constructive criticism .
grow up.
Mary Reynolds ... what? Please, next time you want to type out a rage sentence please use your punctuation so I can actually understand what the hell is being said XD
But also, it ain’t hate, it’s just a critique or advice. It’s a magical will called opinions!! This person is merely stating what they would have done differently. Believe it or not, but not even professionals are perfect.
Mary Reynolds That's really rude? They were giving lavender towne a little bit of constructive critisim calmly anf you replied very rudely. Lavender Towne's artworks are very pretty and aestheticly pleasing in my opinion but different people have different opinions and this person stated theirs not very harshly.
I really did hate how her dress was too modern too. I understand if it had modern elements but I think to be more cohesive it should have kept the look of that time period and culture.
Arianna.Shut the hell up because LavenderTowne is probalby the best youtuber to have art tips.watch this video if you dont believe me and check the comments when your done.complaining wont explain anything. ua-cam.com/video/ylXmXeKFjNc/v-deo.html
Mary Reynolds I think shes talking about the dress in the movie. Shes not criticizing Lavender.
Not once were they complaining about LavenderTowne's art Mary. You need to actually read the comment before you say ANYTHING about how they're "complaining". besides, even if they were complaining, it's their opinion, and you don't need to be so rude about it. it would probably be better if you kept rude comments like this to yourself. I get you are defending an artist and their styles, but, being a fellow artist, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Mary Reynolds learn to read
Maria Reynolds 1.hamilton references with that username am I right? 2.Arianna was referring to the original dress used in the Disney movie 3. Well done for standing up for lavender towne (even tough it wasn’t rlly needed ;3)
No hate or anything, the outfit was great! But I have like 2 “complaints”. Please do not think I am trying to degrade the outfit whatsoever and I am just trying to state my opinion about the outfit. :) So first what I would like to say is, is that if Elsa transformed into this version of her during that epic transformation in the song I don’t think it would be as exciting as it is. She’s showing her true colors and that she isn’t like everyone else, she just wants to be her self and if she wore this outfit I feel like she’d still fit in a lot more and wouldn’t really be different. I may be a year late but I just discovered this channel and I absolutely love it, I am in no matter trying to send hate to your design or you because all of the designs you make are wonderful! Please don’t attack me subscribers-
That’s exactly what I thought too, but this design does look adorable uwu
Elsa changed into the most uncomfortable looking outfit imaginable.
Me? I would have changed into a tshirt and sweatpants. Not to meantion some fluffy socks.
That would have been hilarious.
I want to see someone edit the oringal scene so she changes into that it would be hilarious.
If I was a queen I’d be wearing that anyway
Congratulations, you have officially won the Internet.
I would have changed into one of those long-ass sock-scarf dress things
i havent finished the video but i think that at the end of the movie the contrast between her and anna was a nice story telling element because it shows how anna and her are closer now that she doesn't have to hide who she really is
I'm sorry that this is long, but I wanted to get my thoughts down about the design!
I think the comments here aren't particularly helpful. I'm not saying that because they're against the design, but more on how they're presented. There is various "Hate this" or "I like the original better" which aren't good critiques at all. I'm taking a media class so I guess I notice this more often now.
I thought the design was nice, but I did have some thoughts on it. The original dress was unpleasing to look at because it didn't fit with the rest of the characters. Others have said this was because "It was meant to show that she was different" and I totally get that! But I wish that it was a dress that fit in with the era of the characters. It looked too modern in my opinion and didn't give me a sense of magic when she created it.
For Lavendertowne's design I thought that she did well in making it seem to be in the same time with the other characters. The thought behind it made since and the colors weren't in your face. I actually really liked the thought of Elsa making her shoes into skates so that she could skate around her castle! I thought that would be an interesting thing to see in the movie since it was a fond memory for her and Anna.
My problem with the design was that I thought it was TOO fitting. When I say this I mean that I felt the design was too close to what Anna was wearing. While it was practical, I wish that it would be easier to tell that there was something visually different about Elsa beside her bright hair and snowflakes in her dress. I might be twisting my words with saying "I think it fits" and "She doesn't pop as much" So I'm sorry if I'm not making my meanings clear!
And others in the section had pointed out that Elsa's dress was made out of ice, so it wouldn't be possible for her to use fur or leather in her design. I would make a comment about that was well, but have you seen the concept art of Elsa? They're wonderful and obviously made out of other materials, and it manages to make her fit in with the time yet look different!
All in all, each design was made with a purpose in mind and I'm sure they're justifiable, with their own ups and downs. I thought your design was nice and it gave a feeling of "Fantasy" like the concept art for Elsa.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful critique!
No problem! I hope we get to see more videos like this in the future since it makes for an interesting video. Thank you for the content and have a nice day!
Maybe special effects like a little icing on her dress and cape, and making her skates and crown "shine" a bit or someting would do it for the fantasy theme. Just get off the gloves and then it's perfect.
OMG a little long!?😖
I couldn't have said it better!
Above all, really great drawing!! The only thing I would change would be the fact that Elsa should have gloves in this dress since she not holding back anymore.
But yeah, high heels in the snow? The ice skates are a cool idea though!😄
When it comes to Disney princesses' final dress's/designs... Here are a few that have always bugged me.
Fa Mulan: The color palette of her green dress always felt like it never belong. Like her outfit should feel strong, graceful, but a little manly as well. To reflect on everything she had been through. OR more extravagant, as the savior of China. It just never felt right.
Merida: I feel like, given she is more of a tomboy type, her main dress could have been designed better. Maybe change partway through the movie to reflect her change.
Jane: While her dress is meant to be impractical, she's still a smart character. I've always thought, given she's smart and the daughter of such a smart man of the time, she would have made a more practical decision for exploration.... And still have it look impractical, since that was the point of the dress.
Ariel: For her blue dress in the end, I feel like it could have been changed. Color-wise, I feel like it contrasted too much with her hair and didn't feel special at all.
Kida: The princess everyone forgets about... Her clothes throughout the story is fine, but I feel like her royal garb doesn't fit in with her tribe of people.
Although, I'm remembering most of these from memory, so I could be off with some of them. :')
I really like what they did with Moana, her final outfit seemed powerful and graceful at the same time. Then again, she's not exactly a princess.
SGT.Babyhands Jane is book smart.....
Nae Harris I agree, but even then, it was a bit ridiculous to think that nobody told her not to wear that ridiculous dress... Even if she happens to be lacking in the common sense department, if someone were to tell her, she would surely be able to understand this.
But it should still be over the top! I just feel Disney went a little *too* far with it.
SGT.Babyhands well at the time very few people had been to Africa... I don't know, you're probably right
SGT.Babyhands I mean her dad is extremely scatterbrained, after all.
But the cold never bothered her anyway
Edit: HOLY HECK that's a lotta likes

It makes me sad that the lower I go on these comments. Everyone is just saying that they like the original for the most part. Some explain their point very well, so if you are reading this and you're one of the ones who explained yourself and why you liked the original better, thank you for doing that. It's disheartening to see where people just commented on the fact that they like the Disney version, and then just leave without giving an explanation why. I personally love your redesign, and I always love watching your work here on UA-cam! This is a very creative idea, and I looked forward to seeing more of these. Cant wait to see what character you make a cute redesign for next!
Ps, don't sweat forgetting how important her taking off her gloves were. I honestly forgot they had mattered at all. Such a tiny detail which equated to being a big deal in the movie. It's an easy thing to not notice right away.
I think u dressed her to warm..
I mean.. the cold never bothered her anyway 😂
@AMELIE SOPHIA BINTI JEFFREY Moe miss it bothered her ok oop-
The design is very good, but I feel like a big part of Frozen's story was figuring out that Elsa didn't have to pretend to be someone she's not. That would be a very justifiable reason why her clothes are so different than the traditional clothes that Ana wears, to give a loud statement that says they're not the same, even though they are sisters.
Kass Green true

Well someone's triggered........
take it easy, Kass Green was just making a critic in a very respectful way
Mary Reynolds Sheesh
I find it interesting how everyone is saying 'you can't make fur out of ice' when Elsa made flowers in Frozen Fever - and the high heels and long cape look like more of a hindrance in the film than a help.Elsa's original dress is a beautiful design, but I agree in that it doesn't /look/ right with the rest of the film. Although it's symbolic of her changing from her society, when she's next to Elsa on the infinite frozen merchandise, if I hadn't watched the film I wouldn't know that they were sisters at all. My point is that symbolism is important, but there still has to be a sibilance to the aesthetic, or it can look confused. I feel like there's a happy medium between both of these dresses that would satisfy everyone. > u> (It is adorable - good job!)
She does not make flowers, she takes them from the pots on top of the table beside both girls.
I mean, it sure looks like magic to me, but I guess do you mean she lifted the flowers with her ice and carried them over?
Yes. It's the reason it's part of the set design.
Ahhh, I did not know that. Thank you! It's been bugging me for a while!! ^^""
She also made a wooden clock, if I'm not mistaken.
Your redesign is very cute~ People seem very determined to drive home the fact that Elsa's dress was made the way it was because she's "Not like everyone else", but even so her dress just didnt fit. I too thought she stood out TOO much. She doesnt have to wear flashy, sexy attire to stand out from the crowd. Her hair alone would make her easily identifiable. And heels in the snow? Being immune to the cold or not, they're just to unnecessary. Ice skates and boots are such a lovely idea. Heck the boots can even have a small heel to them! But those kinds of heels she has in the movie are just... They don't fit.
Ahh anyways, I really enjoyed your redesign and while I can sort of see why people like the original, I personally see to many flaws and faults in it and appreciate yours much more.
Edgy cause I main Reaper too**
ikr she would just lose her heels in that deep snow XD
Mynx She just walks on water like it’s nothing. She wouldnt really need to to walk in the snow, although I do like the look of the ice skates better. As really well designed and cute as this is, it really does kinda take away from the whole point of the dress, although I do I agree it looks a little to much like a prom dress (plastic looking bodice and all). She makes it look all warm and cuddly which does kinda take away from the whole “I don’t feel the cold”. Also, the color change (as beautiful as it is) kind takes away from the fact that her dress is literally made out of ice magic. Ye. Still, beautiful and cute design, but it kinda ignores so many of the points the original design. It looks like something Elsa would wear BEFORE she freed herself
yeah good point I couldn't put it past her
Mynx I get it, although I just looked back at my comment and JESUS CHRIST what was that spelling grammar????!!! I fixed a couple things in there to see if it makes more sense. Sorry for the lengthy post😅
I think Elsa Should have not even worn any shoes
I'm just saying if the cold really didn't bother her then she would have been better of just barefoot
ah, but while the cold wouldn't bother her, there are still things on the ground that would tear up her feet in the long run :P
@@nubigenous I mean walking with heels on ice it's like impossible not to mention that the heels are made out of ice soooo yea would have been better being barefoot but like idk bro ¯\_(•-•)_/¯
@@A_Linke hmm. didnt think of that, I guess.
@@nubigenous and if there was anything sharp, maybe she protect herself my making snow/smooth ice appear underneath her feet? idk just thinkin
The creators of Frozen 2 probably saw this comment
The redesign is nice and really cute, but it does suit Anna a lot more than it does Elsa. Part of Elsa's character was the fact that she was different, which is why visually, she looks so different. It's a visual metaphor for Elsa's emotions and how Elsa feels.
1. Elsa's dress is a manifestation and creation of her own powers. She can walk around in the cold in heels because she MADE them from her own powers. It's meant to be symbolic of Elsa being comfortable with using her powers. Elsa is literally immune to the cold, which is why she can live in a palace made of ice in the mountains while Anna and Kristoff had to wear full blizzard gear.
2. They look so different in the end because they're meant to be different. Elsa trying to be a traditional, good princess, is what was causing her so much stress and such an inability to control her powers. At the end, she's much more relaxed and comfortable BEING DIFFERENT as opposed to trying to be the same as Anna and everyone else. Which is why at the end, she doesn't change back into more traditional clothing, because now she is comfortable being different around everyone else. She no longer tries to hide the fact that she's different, she embraces it and doesn't mind showing people anymore.
3. Eyeshadow dates back to 10,000 BC. The earliest eyeshadow was basically made out of minerals, stones, crushed bugs, plants, etc. All you need to make purple eyeshadow is purple pigment, which could have come from minerals and stones such as amethyst. Not to mention, trade is shown to be existed in the area. It isn't unlikely that they can obtain things from other far away countries.

Dieliala chill
Dieliala Yeah! You say it.
Rosa del Fresno And to sell dolls of course
well elsa did make the dress out of ice, so making a dress with fur and fabric would be quite hard to do
ella jones idk I don't see why fur can't be made of ice-magic
I mean if satin, tuelle & sequins can, then why not fur?
(edit) sorry I just noticed this comment was kinda old ^^;
she made the ice skates at the end
If the dress is made of ice, then how the hell is she moving around without shattering it?
Emily Gaming cause its magic ice, she might've kept using her magic to keep it from shttering
...Soooo she can make magic ice-fabric that moves around without shattering, but she can't make ice-fur? ;_;
It's really pretty. But I just don't think it fits her character at all. Maybe after the movie, maybe. But for the time when she actually made her dress (out of ice) it just feels way too restrictive, even if you removed the gloves. Elsa doesnt feel the cold. So she has literally no need for thick cloth or fur. (I don't remember seeing her breath fogging up once in the movie, like the cold doesnt affect her at all.) And she's spent her entire life completely covered up. I do agree that the shoes she has originally are super impractical though, though I feel like it would fit more for her to go barefoot. Also the crown thing, Elsa ran from her responsibilities, she threw them away with her former life, literally in the case of the crown itself, and I don't think she'd make herself a new one, though again, maybe after the movie.
she redrew this design to be after the movie when they are ice skating together in the square. lavender said in the video that it was weird that she was wearing that dress at the end rather than something more practical
Yeah ok. I didnt hear that it was a redesign for after the movie. I still don't really think it fits, though it fits a lot better if its after the whole, power of love thing.
I feel like even at the end, it's not a really good idea to redesign her character in general. That'd be like saying, "here's who you were, now here's what you became." It's giving more of a message saying, "here's who you were, now you're the same person but in a different situation." Therefore, the dress stayed. (and they didn't want to make a third outfit which would take a huge amount of work)
MsLilly200 the cold never bothered her anyway...
I'll go jump off a bridge now...
I understand the rationale but I think growing up in a society where nobody wears slinky dresses with a slit up the leg, it'd be pretty strange to suddenly design one for yourself. It'd be just as out of place as her wearing like, hammer pants or something else from a totally different era. At least that was my rationale. c: I wasn't thinking about protecting her from the cold so much as being more accurate to the time and place.
As for the crown, I thought she might want one as she made herself a huge dramatic castle, so I thought she still had a desire to be royal, just in her own way. But again, that was just my interpretation. c:
If this is a design for after the transformation, why did you put gloves on her. The gloves are what keep her from doing magic in the beginning.
they could be magic gloves, idk
@@roro6.20 Oh no, I agree on them there, the gloves are a pretty important metaphor for the restrained life she has been living up until now, so keeping them wouldn't make much sense. Doesn't mean LavenderTowne's design isn't amazing though
@@phiikichi oh yea i didn't think of that actually, you have a good point! it would actually not make much sense if there were gloves in her transformation design because she's supposed to break free from hiding her power for her entire life using gloves.

whY DO I WATCH LIKE TOMORROW WONT ARRIVE

thEY ARE ASKING ME TO LEAD
IM DOING THE BEST I CAN
they may have designed her dress so differently to show that she is very different from everyone else (as she has the ice powers) however I completely agree that it is a little visually confusing and displeasing
I don't get what you all have against this design. It's a creative gorgeous design, which looks (opinion alert) way better than the Disney one. You made her look more royal, cold and natural at the same time. Keep it up!
i completely agree with her about the time periode, however i think it looked a little pedestrian, it could look like an fantasy ice QUEEN, but it kinda lookes like anyone in the village
I personaly think that she could've had the more cold look, rather than the winter-esc look. YOURS IS STILL AMAZING THO
the cold never bothered her anyway
I think the reason why her dress is the way it is is because 1; it's made of magical ice, 2; It feels alot easier and makes her feel free since it's more light to wear, which fits with the whole concept of ''Let it Go''
But why give Elsa warm clothing when she isn't bothered by the cold, I mean that was one of the things her parents made her do when she was younger to hide that she was different.Elsa's hair is that color due to her powers, which in fairness is pretty obvious when looking at her sister and her parents who all have brown or reddish(strawberry blonde) hair, this is also why she is so pale. Elsa basically forsook being royal at the beginning of the movie which is why the continuously cut out lines that referred to her as the queen of ice and snow, she doesn't even refer to herself as such, Putting Elsa in a royal color contradicts the musical number LET IT GO when Elsa takes off her cape that was a royal purple to signify how she was leaving royalty behind and living her life free.Anna's clothes were designed after where the story takes place, being Norway, not fairy-tales. Also the reason Elsa is designed the way she is is because it was to represent that being your self and unique in more powerful then hiding who you truly are. Everything on her after the transformation was made with her ice magic including, oddly enough, her makeup which was the same color as parts of the ice castle; purple. Her and Anna look different, design wise, because they have two different personalities and it was to show that you don't have to look like those you love. Other then that the design was good.
exactly
WOW you're frozen knowledge surprises me
Grepolis Zues thats a long comment ._.
"Synthetic Fabrics" Her clothes are made from ice.
Olivia Smith
Ice fibresss
She was able to keep Olaf around with his own special flurry. So it wouldn't be too hard to keep her dress. Though I do agree once she actually took her place as Queen at the end, she should've at least dressed more modestly. The dress she made out of ice fit really well with the entire frozen ice castle scene.
Olivia Smith It would have melted.....the kid movies are never realistic now
Olivia Smith then why didn't it melt yet???
funky giraffe and Good Bye , read the comment from Bratist.
I really like the design but it would've been better without the gloves because Elsa removing her gloves was like she was free from hiding her powers
In all honesty, I think you would be a great clothing designer.
No doubt bro
everyone complaining about how the redesign is shit, because "the old one was supposed to be different and symbolic!!1!"
Cmon guys, not only are some of you being super rude, but you're missing the point!
Lavender missed SOME of the symbolism, sure.
But Elsa could've been "unique" without mysteriously knowing what Polyester, Sequins, and Tulle are.
It's PRETTY obvious Elsa's dress is made of cheap, modern fabrics for marketing's sake alone.
(now all the shitty halloween costumes look just like the movie!!1)
Look man, I haven't seen not one person dissing her redesign. There are people who disagree with her sure, but most of the people I've seen commenting on here, seem to be very polite, and while they like her redesign, they have problems with it as well in terms of how it doesn't fit well with the story or character of Elsa.
It's a nice design, very cute, but it really doesn't fit with Elsa. Sure, it fits in with her people, but not Elsa herself, as Elsa doesn't fit in with her people, so I think it's appropriate that her attire reflects that.
And I'm pretty sure her dress isn't actually made with polyester, sequins, and tulle. At least not in the movie. Sure, her merchandise might be made out of it, but in the movie I'm pretty sure it's just made out of ice. In fact, I'm pretty sure she didn't know what they were per se, but perhaps she invented them? Like, cause look, I think the point of her dress transformation wasn't just to sell merch to little girls (I mean, I'm not saying that *wasn't* a factor in their decision, just that it wasn't the only one) but I think the point was also to express herself, and show off her creativity. So I think perhaps in the movie's lore, she created a dress that was entirely and uniquely her's, and unlike any in Arendelle.
In short, it's not just a cheap dress made out of cheap materials to sell to children, but it is an extension of herself and her powers. Something she truly owns for the first time.
And I think that's about it for me. Sorry I made such a long comment to someone who commented almost a year ago, and has probably forgotten about this. I hope if you manage to read all of this and decide to respond that you would be kind, as I mean no harm to you. You have your opinions and I have mine, and all I wish to do is allow you to perhaps see a different perspective.
I hope you have a wonderful day. :)
Cuidando a mis hermanas v:
Most of the comments I've seen criticizing her have been very polite. You're right, Elsa could've been unique without those things, her having heels in her original design is strange, and I do think that Elsa's dress should've related more to Norwegian culture. A redesign incorporating that would be very interesting. However, Elsa's real design makes way more sense than what Lavender drew. The crown and the wool that Lavender gave makes no sense. That's my opinion though.
Also, I don't know where you got "cheap modern fabrics" from, it's an animation. Look up "Elsa Costume" and "Elsa's Dress". None of the costume dresses I saw looked anything as good as Elsa's actual dress.
Is anyone aware of the concept of silk here? Not all shiny fabric is made of plastic
Okay child
It bugged me a little that you refered to their outfits as just fairytale outfits or something that you only find in fairytales. Frozen is based in Norway and their outfits are clearly inspired by the Bunad, Norways national costume. But the redesign is lovely! Would be fun seeing you giving other charcters a more fitting or realistic design!
Bambee Boo kind of bugged me too! But.....seriously her ice dress was too much! And also this redesign was more Norwegian in some ways than the original eh?
She's human...she is bound to make mistakes. Just because she does art doesn't mean she knows everything about every cartoon ever.
Clover Coin nono ofc I totally understand she wouldnt know! I do art too and I dont believe that she has to know everything. Just put my opinion out there, and since I'm Norwegian I'm just a little proud that these characters outfits are inspired by our Bunad. But I'm sorry if the way I worded myself made me seem a little mad
Ethereal Priestess im glad im not the only one who noticed! Tbh I never thought that much about the ice dress, but she was totally right it didn't fit in. Her design is alot more fitting! Only thing I feel that is similiar to bunads is her little cap. Its a super cute design but would be so cool if she looked up bunads and try to draw smth more similar to that! Or atleast I think it would be cool haha
I though about that too haha. I think her redesign is lovely, but I'd love to see it made a little more bunad-ish. I really prefer Elsa's first dress rather than her second one due to it looking more like a bunad.
Lavender: (uses a variety of balanced stylistic choices and utilizes historically accuracy)
Disney: LOOK it’s ICE
Me: *Watching video* My little sister: *BUSTES IN ROOM* Mommy sissy is WATCHING NAKED PEOPLE!!!!!!! Me: What the fu- *mom walks in* WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?
ArtKitteh Gurl This happens all the time with me. My mom once walked in on me while I was drawing, and thought the people were naked. She grounded me, but then I explained
What happened afterward?? I'm curious!
Ha! She (your mother) doesnt know anything about art school then lol when you draw with a 'live reference'
I really thought the design of Elsa's dress was more symbolic, it wasn't supposed to look like Anna's because Anna is a typical Disney princess (love at first sight) she where's the same old fairy tale clothes. However Elsa is different (indapendent and she doesn't need a man) and so she doesn't look like all the other disney princesses. But it was an amazing idea and I really love it. 😆
I never looked at it that way! 👏
Rayne Reisinger
I'm just gonna um..put this here... 2:23 um ...happy new year.
Yeah, I think Elsa’s snow dress was actually very interesting by its difference bc the two sisters are closer at the end of the movie even if Elsa doesn’t fit with the rest of her kingdom. This was a pretty cool tolerance though for children that would have been less understandable with the design Lavender Towne imagine. (Even if it’s not bas at all)
Nicole, doing something for fun doesn't make it impenetrable from criticism, let them give their opinions! Everything I draw is for fun, but I still want tips on how to improve it.
Hello! This was a lovely idea and design but I would like to fact bomb you! Please don't take this offensively, I'm just trying to let you know the background info on their costumes. First off, I completely agree with you that Elsa's dress doesn't fit at all. Frozen takes place in Norway. Arendele is a real place (been there) but it's pronounced are, not air. Anna's dress is called a bonad, which is a traditional Norwegian dress that can also be a suit for men (Hans wears one). Anna's dress isn't a fairy tale dress, it's an actual dress from Norway! Your design fits much much better but it wasn't in style to have short dresses (considered scandalous) and they wouldn't normally wear much fur unless on an expedition or work. Especially if Royal... All in all, your design fit much better! Don't take this the wrong way please! Thank you and have a wonderful day! TOODLES!
~unicorns are real~
Yes, this is true! I was going to comment on the Bunad thing, but you got there first. I would also like to point out that all bunads are different depending on where they come from. For example, Bergen bunads are more red compared to the bunads around Ålesund (in the area of Skodje, because that's where I've seen them) which are black. So I think taking inspiration from the bunads of Arendelle (or perhaps Finmark, as they are furthest north?) for Elsa would be a good way to redesign her outfit. Maybe that's just me, though.
unisophiacorn oml I found someone who has a constructive comment but is nice about it at the same time, bless ur beautiful soul
unisophiacorn Ooh how cool you've been to Arendal! I live in Norway ^^ I hope you had a nice time
unisophiacorn But the who point of Elsa by the end was her embracing that she was different, so why would they make her have a normal dress?
She's very cute but I feel like it takes away the magic and whimsy in her design. I don't mean any offense. She is beautiful.
Same, I like the redesign but I think I makes her look younger and more cute. I like her as a more serious and mature woman.
@@bluegirl278 Its because of her art style
@@blueskysandbutterflys I don't think its the art style, The Elsa here has the potential to look a lot mature, I think she seems a bit childish because she is all bundled up in stuff like a baby and her facial expression doesn't match Elsa's personality, it looks more like Anna s personality
@@discoverweekly4199 Okie!
@Pippin Anderson Okay 👌🏻
Hey I hate to bring this up but Elsa wouldn't wear gloves. In cartoons gloves represent hiding something or secret intentions. They also very clearly address this in the movie by the gloves as a layer between her and her powers and the the people around her. When she throws the gloves in let it go she is letting go of her secrets and is coming clean even to herself. This is not only apparent in her design but also in hans design. Before he shows his true colors he wears gloves but when the twist happens and he reveals his true intentions he takes the gloves off. Normally I wouldn't comment something like this but I felt as though it was integral as a metaphor to the story and character that made absolute sense. Also I believe the dress and its modern design was meant to be a juxtaposition to the the townspeople because Elsa is different. When we see this we're meant to see Elsa revealing her true nature. The clothes act as a symbol for Elsa. I enjoy your design a lot but I think that making her look like everyone else defeats the point of Elsa's self doubt and eventual character evolution.
Read the pinned comment before complaining
Uh, did any of you notice lavenders design has gloves? Or something on the hands. I payed to much attention to comments to know.
Pepperoni Pixel This isn’t complaining...they were simply stating their opinion. Honestly get over yourself.
Pepperoni Pixel It’s called an opinion, which is where people share what they think about something. Complaining requires someone to be rude and unhelpful, which this person was neither.
I dont think you should have called this 'fixing elsa's dress'. Your new drawing was very beautiful and well done but it didnt fix the dress. It eliminated a lot of the symbolism in her ice dress that didnt really need 'fixing'. You could have made the video 'drawing elsa in a different style' and it would have ended in a lot less backlash.
Exactly. I was thinking the same thing! (Not hating on her drawing i Love it!) But what you said makes absolute sense! I agree with your comment
That’s her style, she changed the dress but she just drew it in her style
egg Head she drew it in her style but she still changed a lot of things. Changing a characters clothing when the character isn’t yours isn’t a style. She had changed MANY key assets of Elsa and what’s she’s known for. For example, almost every one who’s seen frozen knows that Elsa can make clothing from ice, she changed that, frozen heals, changed as well. I’m very fond of her videos but I just think she changed Elsas clothing too much. To the point where if I had never seen either movies and I saw the original Elsa and this elsa I’d think they were sisters or mother and daughter
The dress DID need fixing. Then again, the whole movie needed fixing buuuuutt....
@@shojodraws3399 No, it didn't. The original dress had a lot of meaning, it represented the new freedom of Elsa, the fact that she was different from other people and she didn't need to hide behind a sober and elegant dress and gloves. This design is pretty, but it loses every meaning the original outfit had about the personality and development of the character.
I understand where you're coming from, but I think they intentionally made her clothes so weird because she was seen so different, & she was supposed to accept her differences. Anna fits in with the normal ideals of beauty & happiness, where Elsa doesn't. Her new dress & outfit makes Else physically show how different she is on the inside.
Noire. Lace; thats so deep but so right haha
Noire. Lace; very true
Disney also originally had Elsa slated as the villain, I believe they changed the plot part way through the production, so they may have kept her dress as it was (or softened it a lil) to save time or work that had already been done.
But I totally agree, the disparity between the sisters' designs helps solidify their differences; although I've always found Elsa's makeup was a tad too severe for her, the dress was perfectly /her/, y'know?
Also her shoes... heels and ice do not mix well, snow queen or not :P
I'm so glad someone else is bothered by the modern design choices made with Elsa! It shows Disney absolutely designed her based around making dolls rather than any semblance of reality 😕 the ice skate idea is GENIUS I really want to give this redesign a try myself now 💕
I wouldn't have put the spiekes in her hair but the rest of the design is realy great! I think Frozen is overrated. I honestly don't like that movie. But Big Hero 6 is great! Maybe you can redraw one of them? They are not princesses but...
Samantha Lopez You are kind of right. Hiro doesn't realy fight but I like his charakter anyway.
Die Mieper I think Hiro just looks perfect for his age. The choice in armour all the way to his hoodies
You're a Jackass Yhea you are right.
ikr
Die Mieper the spikes in her hair? you mean the crown???
LavenderTowne 0:31: "I just really want to address..."
Me: Nice pun hehe....adDRESS.
OOOOOO MYYYYY GOOOOD I did not realize that, and I've watched this like 20 times-
REDESIGN BRAVE'S PRINCESS!! (i forgot her name ;-;)
Merida. :) Yeah, I would imagine her tying her hair back it doesn't get in the way when it shoots, or just shearing it all off on her own.
RAİNBOWDEATH merida
Her clothes are completely period accurate though...
Pompom Purin Fair enough. :)
merida
I think lavender towne really forgot about elsa's line"the cold never bother me anyway"
So many people are complaining about or arguing against the point made about how incredibly and strangely different Else and Anna look, and yeah, she changes but she doesn't move centuries into the future people, jeez- and if we wanna keep going down the symbolic route, yes, Elsa's synthetic outfit choice may have been totally symbolic of her change still, transitioning into her freedom, but then she changes once again at the end of the movie to realize her mistakes, and her friendship with her sister, so where is drastic oufit change number two then??
Is it ok if I disagree?
I don't think the dress was meant to be like Elsa having future vision or something and predicting dress designs of the future, but rather, my interpretation of this is that, Elsa made a dress that was entirely new to her world, one unlike any other seen in Arendelle. I think perhaps she invented the dress. She didn't base her design off of anything in her kingdom, and just made whatever felt right to her, almost as if on impulse. It was something unique and entirely hers. And for the first time in forever (excuse the reference it was unintended), she had control over her own everything. Her powers, her life, her destiny. All of it was hers, and it was in part represented by her dress.
And also even though her character goes through another significant change near the end of the movie, don't you think it'd be kinda jarring to have another dress change sequence? I mean, what, is she supposed to change her dress every time she realizes something? No. It's better if it was a one time thing, because that makes it more special. If she were to have another, it would kinda dilute the importance of the scene.
Plus I'm pretty sure they wanted the dress to be pretty iconic and recognizable, so changing it again might not be in their best interests. After all, when you look at other Disney princesses, the "special dress" is often the one they keep till the end of the movie. Not always, but most times. You don't see kids wearing the dress Bell wore before she danced with the Beast, right? It's like that I guess.
Anyway, just my thoughts. It's not that her points aren't valid, just that people recognize that the people of Disney had reasons for doing what they did, and are just pointing out things that she may have missed. Heck, there are even some points I agree with her on in a way, but I guess my answer for them is just "magic". Why does she have eye shadow? Magic. Why does she wear heels? Magic. How can she run on ice and snow in those heels? Frickin magic. I dunno, but if you ask me, it actually kinda fits with old folktales, in which some things would be the way they are cause magic. No further explanation.
So I dunno, but anyway, I really appreciate it if you read this very long comment on a post that you made almost a year ago, and if you decide to respond, please do be kind. I'm only offering up my opinion.
Please, have a wonderful day. :)
I mean her dress is made out of ice soooo
Wooshy Wooshin It’s just people sharing their opinions. Most people are actually very kind while they are sharing their opinions. So, to say that “many people are complaining” is quite wrong. If you don’t like that, then maybe it’s best to steer clear of the comment section next time.
Disney put modern clothing on many characters that were supposed to be in older centuries, did you never notice?
? Why would she change back? The whole point was UNrepressing herself.
“There’s no saphora in arendell.”
Best line ever
SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY! I LOVE THIS OUTFIT IT IS SO COOL! 😆
I think you did a good job! The crown was a really nice touch, and also both culturally accurate and in the original source material!
Personally, I really wished they would have stuck with a more traditional bunad. But that is probably just because I'm Norwegian..Then again the ice queen for the original tale is described as tall, thin with a long flowing white dress and fur Cape.
Sofie Altermark var det jeg å tenke( om bunad og krone altså)🙂 hadde vert så gøy å se at de hadde vert enda mer som bunader
Really pretty but like most comments, not extremely fitting. If the cold doesn't bother her, she'd have no need for clothing so warm and heavy. Perhaps a redesign of Else but in summer Norway clothing? This seems more fitting. I do agree with you not liking her dress and the style being too fantasy based and out of place.
I like this style of art better than your usual but your style is still amazing
I think it would be great to see Belles gown from the dance scene remade. After all, it was the 1400s!
Edit: ooooor the 1700s. nvm lol
1700's actually ^^
It did, but so did Elsa's. I'm just saying it could be improved apon
Someone did! :)
shoomlah.deviantart.com/art/And-a-bit-alarming-203112717
I love this artist ! Her redesign of Elsa (and other princesses) is so awesome because she took a theme from history but also kept vibe from original design :)
Amanda Carvalho some did wow is cool
she is gorgeous :3
can you re-draw Merida please :3
Yeah! I love Merida but I wish her attire was a bit more complex!
Yeah her dress a little bit to girly for her
I don't understand what was wrong with Merida?
@@orangetree.. same here. i think Merida's dress is as close as possible to the historical period she lives in
It's a beautiful outfit.😄
What I imagined was along the lines of something more regal, like those long slinky gowns they wore in fairy tales. Something on the medieval side, ya know? Especially with the trumpet sleeves. (I just love those!😍)
Those sort of gowns can be slimmed down, like a spring or summer gown, or fluffed up for the winter.
Elsa is a queen of ice so she doesn't really need to be have warm clothing like her sister.
Again, that's just my perspective.😄
Both the original Elsa and your rendition are gorgeous.
And can you do another creepypasta drawing video?
There's this one I can't remember what it is...I type it below this comment.
The Monster in the Pantry. My favorite.😄
I'd love to see the drawing you'd do for that. And I just LOVE the last creepypasta drawing video you did.
Art and storytelling, two of my biggest loves.
Aside from pizza.😍🍕
I think she named it "creepydrawsta"?
Who is here when Frozen 2 came out😂

How could anybody say no tho?
No.
She:Redesining elsas dress*
Me: Can it be?! :0
Her: Not making it a bunad*
Me:Sad norwegian noyses*
ps: The design is so well thought and apealing to the eyes, I love your logic and even if its not traditional, I still love it
I love a more cozy Elsa! I agree that just because she is impervious to cold doesn’t mean she would choose to wear a tight shiny prom dress to chill by herself. If I was running away to do my own thing I know I would choose a more cozy outfit! Love your redraw :)
either pocahontas or Mulan (cause pocahontas looks way too young and sleek in the movie)
Randomness Fox
Pocahontas in the movie is 16-18. When it 'actually' happened, she was around 14.
Voltron Trash Actually, she was 11 when it happened.
that's messed up
YES
lol, but for me she is one of the most mature looking princesses
Scarecrow She was 11 when it happened but i do not think it was messed up. The movie shows john smith as a romantic interest which i think is why you say that. But i heard that historically they had a father daughter type of relationship.
Redraw the girl from Tarzan! Her dress is WAY too impractical!! PLEASE!
Jane?
That movie takes place quite some time in the past when women didn't really get practical clothes for anything. There isn't really any reason to redesign her except make her look more modern.
Steallastarz Alpha It's Jane
Steallastarz Alpha Which dress? Her jungle one at the end only covering needed areas was practical for the warm and humid jungle, and her yellow dress and boots were meant to be humorously in the way and an obstacle
Jane
Elsa: the cold never bothered me anyway.
(Offscreen)
Elsa: AHHH THE PAIN THE COLD BUUURNS AAAAAGH WHYYYY!?
Gabby Reyes 😅😀😃😄😁😆😂🤣
After I rewatch this video and read the comments I want to note that any artist who can’t take suggestions or constructed criticism then they are over confident with their at pieces. And this particular UA-cam’s does not seem over confident at all. Lavendertowne is probably happy to get these suggestions because people are paying attention to her art. She can handle people who take account into her art.
But.. I'm thinking this is a nice design, but how would she make that from snow? Should've made it more from ice I think
Silver Moons Her original dress is also made from fabric though
Silver Moons I was thinking that too
Magic
She can make dresses out of flowers. If she can do that she can make this with snow and ice.
I love your videos and your art, but I couldn't help but be bothered by this. As everyone else is saying in the comments already, the cold never bothered her anyway. She has no need for any sort of furs whatsoever. She doesn't need anything to make her warm. You actually sort of contradicted yourself in the video when you said you wanted her to be more like Anna but you wanted to distinguish her more. Also, Frozen was based in Norway, so the dress was actually based off traditional Norwegian designs and not fairytale designs. Part of Elsa's dress design is to distinguish her from Anna. Turning her into this cutesy, almost vulnerable seeming winter girl is contradictory towards everything about Elsa's character. I also wasn't a big fan of this whole idea that her dress needs to be more practical, because (as stated before), Elsa doesn't need her dress to be any more practical than it already is. They live in a world filled with magic. She doesn't get bothered the cold in any way.There isn't any need to change her shoes, add fur, or make anything look thicker. Changing the color scheme I didn't particularly agree with either, because it's too close to her original character design as a villain in my opinion. The lighter shades of blue help make her seem like a good character, while darker tones are usually perceived as more 'villainous'. That also might be why Elsa's villain design had black hair whilst her design in the actual movie depicts her with platinum blond hair. The rosy cheeks and visible breath I found contradictory to her character because (again) the cold never bothered her anyway. The ice crown really, really irked me, though. In Let It Go, she throws her crown away, which is symbolic of her leaving her past and everyone's expectations behind her. To me, there is no reason or logic that she would then create another crown- a royal element. She left everyone's expectations behind her when she ran off to North Mountain. To put it bluntly, I didn't agree with any of your changes. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love your videos, but this video is may be my least favorite yet...
This is a really cute design I like it.
Anna’s dress is inspired by the Norwegian bunad, it’s the Norwegian national clothing. And the entire story of frozen, the place, the clothing, the food, is all inspired by Norway, arendale is inspired exactly on an really old town in Oslo called “arendall”, and the second movie is inspired by the samme another race in Norway, I think it was inspired by the Norwegian rivalry with the samme, just some facts I wanted to share with you! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
I love the art but I really think if it was something like this the movie wouldn't have been as strong? I understand this was just for fun of course but I think she was designed with way more in mind then you might be giving credit. Having her and Anna not look so similar at the end has a strong showing that you don't have to be alike to love someone deeply. I believe her original Ice dress makes her look powerful and gracefully since it's so slick, but personally I think your design wouldn't have held the same effect and she would have had a harder time coming off as a strong and powerful lead. Her design might also still take from the original design of her being the villain and in later stuff she is in a more normal outfit for her time period like in the shorts.
Can you do Jasmine, Cinderella, or Bell?
Shadow The Pyro Belle* but yeah, good idea
the point of her having no crown is because she doesn't want to be queen
This is a design for afterwards.
“Doesn’t want to be queen” *Builds an ice palace filled with snow guards, pretty much calls herself the queen of ice, and turns into a queen afterwards*
Lavendar said that she added the crown made of ice because it represents Elsa crowning herself. Also, dont forget that she made a PALACE of ice!
I think elsa looks like that because she is supposed to look like a snow person, like the snow for her is our beach, and also they wanted her to look goddess like, many dieties have worn dresses similar to that
But I do love your design, you defenetly teleported me where you were saying you were trying to
WE WE'RE BORN TO MAKE HISTORY!
(it's because of the ice skates...)
cAN YOU HEAR MY HEARTBEAT
YES WE WERE BORN TO MAKE HISTORY!
Jael THE MOMENT OF TRUTH
I CLOSE MY EYES AND TELL MYSELF THAT MY DREAMS WILL COME TRUE
I love your new design and I think it’s super pretty, but I do belive it would’ve been better suited for an outfit she changes into in the epilogue or a Disney short or the sequel. I think the point is that she goes from all of these layers to one flowy piece because it’s showing her from being all covered up and hiding to being free. I also think it should stay a lighter blue (not the tacky teal they used but a different shade of blue) becuase it’s supposed to be an ice color. I also don’t think gloves would be a good idea, the whole point was that her gloves held back her powers. However, I LOVVE the ice skate idea Sssoooo much. That woudlve been stunning. Other than that I lovvvvee this design. It would be super pretty for Elsa in the sequel or maybe another character.
I'd love to see your version of Tiana from The Princess and the Frog :)
But the whole point of Elsa changing into the awesome dress was like “The cold doesn’t bother me anyway” kinda of quote but you bundled her up too much.. ;-;
It makes since bc she's supposed to stand out and be different and not fit in that's kinda the point of the movie that's most likely the reason Disney designed her that way
I'm in love with this
50_shades _brighter hahah me too
Also, I would like to see you redesign Snow White
*disney has left the conversation*
Your art is so amazing!!! The shading is lovely, her outfit is stunning, and her hair is on FLEEK!
Anna are dressed in old Norwegian/swedish clothing. I think.
Isabell K Yeah, they are Norwegian.
I think her final dress in frozen 2 matches a bit more with the other character´s than the one in the first movie.
And I have a kinda funnie idea for a video you could make. In this video you re-designed Elsa´s dress into Anna´s style, for a funny contrast, you could make a video where you re-design Anna´s dress into Elsa´s style.
I loved this! I would love to see other Disney princesses!
Oh my gosh your design is so cute! I was never really A fan of Elsa. I like Anna much much more, but if this was the design they gave Elsa I would’ve liked her more.
