Alice’s first project for The Walt Disney Company and with her future husband, Marc Davis, was creating a costume for dancer Helene Stanley to wear for live-action reference footage for Aurora in “Sleeping Beauty.” She and Marc married in June 1956.

Walt Disney hired her as a costume designer for the 1960 film “Toby Tyler” and she went on to design costumes for various Disney TV shows and theme park attractions.

Alice Davis was inducted as a Disney Legend in 2004. Here is how she is described by D23:

At Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI), Alice Estes Davis was the original “designing woman.” Married to Disney Legend Marc Davis, she enjoyed a fashionable Disney career of her own, designing and dressing animated figures for such beloved Disneyland attractions as “it’s a small world” and Pirates of the Caribbean. As Alice recalled with a gleam in her eye, “I went from sweet little children to dirty old men over night.”

Marc Davis passed away in 2000. The couple is honored with side-by-side windows on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Park.
