A, titled Disenchanted, is in development. Giselle's wedding dress on display. All the costumes in the film were designed by Mona May, who had previously worked on,, and.

To create the costumes, May spent one year in pre-production working with animators and her costume department of 20 people, while she contracted with five outside costume shops in Los Angeles and New York City. She became involved in the project during the time when the animators are designing the faces and bodies of the characters as they had to 'translate the costumes from two-dimensional drawings to live-action human proportion'. Her goal was to keep the designs 'Disneyesque to the core but bring a little bit of fashion in there and humor and make it something new'.

However, May admitted this was difficult 'because they're dealing with iconic Disney characters who have been in the psyche of the viewing audience for so long'. For the character of Giselle, her journey to becoming a real woman is reflected in her dresses, which become less fairy tale-like as the film progresses. Her wedding dress at the beginning of the film directly contrasts her modern at the end of the film. The served to provide a 'humongous contrast to the flat drawings' and to accentuate the image of a. In order to make the waist look small, the are designed to be 'extremely pouffy' and the to be as big as possible, which included a metal that holds up 20 layers of petticoats and ruffles. Altogether, eleven versions of the dress are made for filming, each made of 200 yards (183 m) of silk satin and other fabric, and weighing approximately 40 pounds (18 kg).

On the experience of wearing the wedding dress, Amy Adams described it as 'grueling' since 'the entire weight was on her, so occasionally it felt like she was in traction'. Unlike Giselle, Prince Edward does not adapt to the real world and, who plays Edward, had only one costume designed for him. May's aim was to try 'not to lose Marsden in the craziness of the outfit. Where he still looks handsome'.

The costume also included padding in the chest,, and crotch, which gave Marsden the 'same exaggerated proportions as an animated character' and 'posture – his back is straight, the sleeves are up and never collapse'. May was delighted that Lima 'went for something more fashion-forward' with 's Queen Narissa. She decided to make her look like a 'runway lady', wearing something that is 'still Disney' but also 'high fashion, like something or might design'. Since Narissa appears in three media:, live-action, and, May had to make sure that the costume would be the same throughout in terms of 'color,, and texture'. The costume for Narissa consisted of a leather corset and skirt, which looked 'reptilian', as well as a. Working with the animators, May incorporated parts of the 's form into the costume; the cape was designed to look like, the of the skirt wrap around like a tail and a that would turn into during Narissa's transformation into a dragon. See also: The film's score was written by accomplished songwriter and composer, who has worked on a number of films previously.

Fellow composer wrote the lyrics for six songs, also composed by Menken. Menken and Schwartz previously worked together on the songs for and. Menken became involved with the film in the early stages of the film's development and invited Schwartz to resume their collaboration. They began the songwriting process by searching for the right moments in the story in which a song moment was allowed. Schwartz found that it was easier to justify situations in which the characters would burst into songs in Enchanted than in other live-action musicals as its concept 'allowed the characters to sing in a way that was completely integral to the plot of the story.' The three songs Giselle sings contain references to earlier Disney films. The first song played in the film, 'True Love's Kiss', was written to be 'a send-up of, and an homage to, the style of those Disney animated features', namely, 'I'm Wishing' ( ) and ' ( ), during which Disney heroines sing about the joy of being loved.
