Also, in the 19th century, blue was considered particularly appropriate for little girls. When Tenniel's illustrations for Alice were colourized her dress was generally shown as blue.
I've also noticed that Dorothy's dress had blue in its pattern....and the earlier Disney animated movies that were based off of fairy tales or children's classic literature, generally the main character, or main female, wore blue in some way.....Alice. Snow White. What color was Cinderella's ball gown? And Wendy's night gown? And in Sleeping Beauty, you have faeries arguing over what color Aurora's dress should be...blue or pink? Perhaps a subtle satire/critique of that issue?
