Disney is launching a new wedding dress collection inspired by 16 of its own princesses.

The collection features different styles and silhouettes in the style of characters including Ariel, Cinderella, Pocahontas and Tiana.

The collection, in partnership with Allure Bridal, will be launched during New York Bridal Fashion Week in April, with gowns arriving in stores shortly after.

Allure Bridals chief executive Kelly Crum said: "So many brides grow up admiring their favourite Disney princess characters and are inspired by their journeys, gowns and stories of the classic films.

"Our design team worked tirelessly on each of these incredible gowns, as each dress features intricate detailing specifically inspired by the timeless characters know and loved by all of us at Allure and Kleinfeld, as well as our brides.

"We are honoured to work with Disney on this collection and see the romance of it come to life."
