Vintage Disney Parks fabrics!

As aforementioned, I spend a decent amount of time skulking around Ebay in hopes of finding unique vintage Disney Parks merchandise.  Whilst looking for Disney-related craft supplies, I came across the following fabric prints:

I love that the Contemporary made it on.

Tomorrowland specific… WHAT!?

Love the castle illustration on this one.

I thought this one was especially charming.

Disneyland Hotel, where I will be staying in less than a month!

Besides the fact they are incredibly charming, these prints are interesting to me based on the fact that the current Disney company gravitates towards generic, mass produced merchandise, opting to keep assortments down in order to maximize profits.  I should also mention that even the small pieces were extremely expensive!  I guess the Disney die-hards want park-specific, land-specific merchandise.  With the Coop opening at Disney Springs and the Haunted Mansion store opening in the old Yankee Traders building, it will be interesting to see how the company approaches merchandise design and assortment and in the coming years.

Princesses and Villains line from Black Milk Clothing

Disney's hot right now, ya'll.  From princess underwear at Hot Topic to pie-eyed Mickey socks at Urban Outfitters, every trendy retailer seems eager to hop on the bandwagon of endearing whimsy and delicious nostalgia.  Described by Bustle as an 'ultra-fandom-friendly fashion line', Black Milk Clothing is no exception.  On July 29th, the Princesses and Villains line will drop.  What I like most about the line is that many of the items explore Disney in an unexpected way. 

For example, the Ariel leggings are fish-scale print as opposed to being printed with a scene from the movie (as with Hot Topic's Disney legging line).

I want to wear these as part of an Ariel Disneybound!
Marie, an underrated and overlooked character (in this country at least!), is featured on more than one piece:

Meow! Marie's such a cutie!   

And this Snow White 'outfit'!:



All in all, it's a neat little showing from Black Milk Clothing and I can't wait to see more Disney in the fashion world.  Take a look at the collection and let me know which items you like best in the comments section!
