Well, my design for Anna is pretty similar. I just changed up the colors a bit, and took into account what the average attire of the time period would look like, which naturally means corsets, hoop skirts that go to the floor (or at least to the ankles), buns, and frilly sleeves

If you want some information on the characters to help with design, you can look here:

Anna: Just your typical princess who hasn't really gone through much of anything unusual. She is sophisticated and proper, and is used to her life in the castle (which won't come of too much help when she goes to search for Elsa). Costume should be normal clothing for the wealthy from 1845 (with a bit of a Norwegian look to it). Once you understand the gist of the time period's clothing, you will find that there are many options. And as long as the colors are not primarily blue (saved for Elsa) or colors that were not easily found (such as magenta), they will work. Some 1840's fashion can be seen here: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-39sWqzalhqU/TZDRHNDttDI/AAAAAAAAAb0/zBAO5XmF_Zc/s640/1844_fashion_Plate.jpg

Elsa (prior to storm): A young "witch," if you will, who's in been training with a wise and experienced wizard for (what she believes) has been her whole life. She is kind and gentle. Costume should be a bit closer to traditional Norwegian attire, with more of a magical type appearance to it as well. Some reference for this can be found here: http://sfsgeography.wikispaces.com/file/view/bunads.jpg/221375510/498x323/bunads.jpg

Elsa (after storm): Has turned evil with a cold heart, and has paired up with another sorceror which happens to dislike humans. Costume should be somewhat dark and more ominous in appearance, with colors such along the lines of dark blue and black in use. All you have to remember is "dark, evil, powerful, and sophisticated." Anything along those lines can work. Basically, she looks like an evil queen.
