White Knight armour from Alice in Wonderland on display...

Hard to believe that its been over two years since Tim Burton's vision of Alice in Wonderland graced the big screen in Disney's live-action adaptation of Lewis Carroll's famous and beloved literary character.

Here's the wonderfully intricate suit of armour worn by Mia Wasikowska as the titular 'Alice' for her battle with the Red Queen's forces and the fearsome Jabberwocky. This costume exhibit from the Walt Disney Archives was photographed on display at Disney Studios in Burbank, California on December 30, 2011.

Colleen Atwood won a prestigious Oscar for her costume designs in this 2010 movie, so be sure to check out more original costumes from Alice in Wonderland here at Hollywood Movie Costumes and props.

Personally I love the design of this lightweight 'White Knight' armour because on screen you wonder how someone as tiny as the actress could move so effortlessly in such a heavy suit of armor, but when you see it up close you realize it's all smoke and mirrors and this costume isn't really made from traditional metal at all.

Cruella de Vil's dragon dress costume from 102 Dalmatians...

I've already had the good fortune to see this wonderfully detailed dragon dress, worn by Glenn Close as the infamous Disney villain 'Cruella de Vil' in the live-action 102 Dalmatians, on display at Disney's D23 Expo in 2011.

On my most recent visit to Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank on December 30, 2011, I was able to take a closer look at the elaborate costume as I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of showbiz treasures that were exhibited at the Expo to really take everything in. As they say the devil's in the detail, or is that 'de Vil'.

Anthony Powell was responsible for Costume Design on Disney's live-action movie sequel from 2000, with Rosemary Burrows acting as Costume Supervisor.

The embroidery detail on the dragon muff really is amazing, whilst on this occasion I was also able to glimpse a bit of the sequined dragon dress train (or is that tail?).

If you like this ornate dress, be sure to also check out Glenn Close's Cruella de Vil costume from 101 Dalmatians.
