As a plus-size Latina, I never personally identified with any of the Disney princess, but I was still obsessed with them. Flash forward to 2017, and we aren’t waiting idly for Disney to give us characters that represent the full spectrum of human identity — artists draw fabulous trans Ariels and Aladdins, makeup artists and popular culture are giving badass villains their due praise, and brands like Hot Topic are making princess merch for ALL sizes. The latter has made the biggest splash in my community of curvy style influencers. So I tried the Hot Topic for Disney collection that has everyone talking — it’s “The Little Mermaid,” of course. Ariel On Land dress ($43.92, Hot Topic) Part Of Your World Sublimation skirt ($18.45, Hot Topic) Ariel swim top ($34.32 Hot Topic); Ariel swim bottoms ($31.12, Hot Topic) I Am Ursula dress ($42.32, Hot Topic)
