As little tykes, we were told by our elders that princesses wore pink, purple, and white.
When we were looking at princesses in historical portraits, they all seemed to prefer much darker colors. We can revel in the glamorous fabrics, the dashing sillouhettes, and even darker accessories!The thing is, while we're free to do that, we don't need or want to. They liked jewel tones, lush velvet, and heavy brocade.
