We all grew up with fairytales and Disney, and secretly we all want our own fairytale ending even if we don’t really want to admit it. While Disneyland brings us a little respite from the real world from time to time, most of the usual Disney collaborations involve cute little characters like the Tsum Tsum Lip Smacker series that includes all the Disney princesses and Mike from Monsters Inc. and the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse printed Superga shoes. Yes they are cute, but they don’t exactly make you feel like you’re living in a fairytale.
Paolo Sebastian is renowned for their beautiful, romantic gowns that will be the star of any formal gathering or wedding. This time, they really outdid themselves with their latest Disney collaboration – the Once Upon A Dream line of dresses for Paolo Sebastian’s Spring/ Summer 2018 fashion show that will really allow you to channel your inner princess.
Feast your eyes on these ethereal gowns, which were inspired by the original Disney classic movies. Your fairytale dream? Might not be just a dream anymore, because everyone deserves to feel like a princess.

Paolo Sebastian, who is from Australia, is probably known best for his wedding dresses, which is why you’ll see a lot of white in the line. We aren’t complaining though, because the closest opportunity most of us girls will ever get to feel like a princess is on our wedding day!

We love how Paolo Sebastian also manages to weave actual quotes from classic Disney songs into his dresses without making them look too slogan-ish. You probably have a go-to Disney song (mine is Under The Sea from The Little Mermaid), and there is nothing more exciting to be able to wear your favourite quote on you! Plus it requires less commitment than a tattoo.
Forest scenes and deers running along the hem – probably channelling some Snow White vibes here

It’s ‘A Whole New World’ out there
