The similarities are much more than "blue dress, white belt, and blonde hair with a black bow in it".

In any case, Disney did not "very much create" that image. Here's Tenniels from 1866.

Blonde hair, white belt, black bow? Looks that way to me. Blue apron? Not very derivative.

Ha, good point (and same to the other post making the same remark below). I wasn't fully aware of Tenniels' drawings.

One could argue it makes the situation a little more clear cut then.
