I Owned Every Casual Secret Honey Coronation Anna Piece – Here are the Differences
Hello everyone. Right upfront, the title is a bit clickbait 😉 I owned ALMOST every Secret Honey Coronation Anna Piece. I never owned the tote bag. And the gift with purchase cushion was also never in my possession. And the black cardigan… But other than that, every casual Secret Honey Coronation Anna Piece was in my possession at one point and I thought, it might be interesting to discuss the different pieces with you today and go over release dates, original prices, accessories, variations and differences so you can decide, which version is the one for you. At the end, I will also briefly show you the missing pieces with original photos to complete this post 😀 Are you ready? We start with the print, that decorates the hem of most versions first, time travel back to the year 2014 when Secret Honey’s Disney Line started to take off and then go over what I owned in chronological order of release. If you are interested in a specific version, you can also use the anchors below to jump to that piece directly.

The Secret Honey Coronation Anna Print
This print is present on all versions but one, stay tuned, there is one piece that got a special print 😉 Here is the “standard” one for reference:
We have Anna and Hans first:
Then we have Anna on her own:
And then we have Anna and Elsa:
1: The very first Version of Coronation Anna in 2014
This version holds a special place in my heart although I sold it. It is the very first Secret Honey Coronation Anna dress ever released and it is so beautiful. Simpler than the later versions, but it has charm. Here it is:
Interesting Info
- Release Date: 19.9.2014
- Original Price: 9’800 yen plus taxes
- Colour or other Variations: none
- Size: On the smaller side, straps, bodice and skirt are shorter than other versions
- Print: Standard Print, Emblem of Arendelle in between the motives
- Accessories: None
- Blogpost: Will be coming in the future, I promise 😀
This Dress is Special Because:
Well, beingthe first Coronation Anna dress ever does already make it special… But here are some other details that set this dress apart from other versions:
- A difference to all the other versions is the skirt. In all other versions, the dark green fabric on the inside of the box pleats of the originnal dress is either done in the box pleats or represented in colour as stripes on the skirt. For this one, we only have the lighter green parts of Anna’s skirt with the pattern representing the embroidery as well as the print.
- The sleeves are done in black velvet: All other versions do have the green sleeves that Anna’s original dress has. This onne has black velvet sleeves decorated with green lace.
- No binding: Instead of the moss green binding around the top and bottom of the bodice, this version has green trim to represent the binding on the dress.
- The embroidery motive on the bodice is smaller and less present than in the other versions
For Who is this Dress
You may look for this dress for collectors reasons, because it is the first ever Secret Honey Coronation Anna Piece released. She may also appeal to you, if you like a simpler design or a lighter and shorter dress.
2: Coronation Anna 2nd Version from 2014
Quickly after the first version we just discussed, Secret Honey released a more elaborate and more expensive second version in 2014. This version came with boxpleats, green sleeves and moss green bias binding that the first version did not have and is closer to Anna’s dress in the movie. It also came with a choker. This is a very old photo of mine from when I got the dress in 2014:
Interesting Info
- Release Date: 04.12.2014
- Original Price: 14’000 yen plus taxes
- Colour or other Variations: none
- Size: On the smaller side, the bodice was high-waisted on me. Skirt is a bit longer than the first version.
- Print: Standard Print, Emblem of Arendelle in between the motives
- Accessories: Velvet Choker with Arendelle emblem
- Blogpost: This one too will be a future post. I need to space coronation Anna out a bit, can’t release four posts in the same year 😉
Here is a mirror selfie of me wearing the dress somewhere around automn 2015. It did not fit me at first, it is small in the bust area:
What Makes this Dress Special:
This was my first Coronation Anna dress. That alone makes it very special to me 🙂 The other thing I would like to point out for this beautiful version is, that it is very movie accurate. Also, I remember this dress to be nice and heavy fabrics and very good quality. The first version is also good quality with lining and everything, but the fabrics were not as heavy. Also, the embroidery motive is much bigger annd more similar in size to Anna’s real dress.
For Who is this Dress
This dress is for the princess, that likes her Disneybound to be more movie accurate and loves dresses, also, if they are on the shorter side. It is also easier to get and less expensive than the set I will show you next.

3. The 2015 Skirt and Bodice Coronation Anna Set
If you are thinkinng of a casual Coronation Anna Secret Honey dress, the first one to pop up in your mind is probably this skirt, bodice and choker set from 2015. It is the classic and very sought after, which unfortunately makes it very expensive to get even second hand. Here is a look at the bodice and skirt in the short version:
Interesting Info
- Release Date: 11.09.2015
- Original Price: 19’000 yen plus taxes
- Colour or other Variations: Skirt comes in two different lengths, M and MT
- Size: Bodice is on the smaller side, skirt fits up to around 75cm in the waist
- Print: Standard Print, Emblem of Arendelle in between the motives
- Accessories: Velvet Choker with Arendelle emblem
- Blogpost: You can find more pictures in my blogpost about this Coronation Anna Set
Here is a picture of the set with the longer version of the skirt. I do prefer the longer skirt, you will see later how short the shorter skirt was on me.
What Makes this Dress Special
To me, the best thing about this version of Anna’s Coronation Dress is that the bodice and skirt are separated. This is the only version that sits on my natural waist. Also, it is the version with the longest skirt, if you go for the MT length. Other than that, it is pretty similar to the 2nd 2014 version. The embroidery is about the same size, the lace used on the sleeves is the same, the print on the skirt as well.
Here is the shorter version on me on a photo from February 2018, so you can see how the dress looks on a human body 🙂 The shorter skirt is a bit too short for my taste, which is why I later got the long version for myself.
For Who is this Dress?
I would say, this version is the best one for my tall friends. You have the option of the longer skirt and the bodice is also longer than the ones of the versions before. It is also an option if you like a more movie accurate version and maybe you also care for the fact that dresses back in the times of Anna and Elsa often were a separate skirt and bodice.
To close the chapter on this set, which is my favourite, I have a photo for you on which I am wearing the long skirted version:
4. 2015 Coronation Anna Cape
Together with the 2015 Coronation Anna Set, Secret Honey released a cape that represents Anna’s Cape. Here it is on my dress form. There is a second option for you, if you are looking for a cape like that, you could also go with the Coat, that I will show you later and wear the cape without the coat underneath, but there are a few differences that we will point out.
Interesting Info
- Release Date: 11.09.2015
- Original Price: 15’000 yen plus taxes
- Colour or other Variations: none
- Size: No problem with size, although the shoulders may look a bit strange if you have broad shoulders
- Print: Standard Print, no Arendelle emblem
- Accessories: none
- Blogpost: Blogpost will come sometime in the future
Here is a photo of me wearing the cape so you can have a look at the shoulder as well as the length of the cape on a human being. As you can see, the shoulder curves of the cape are more narrow than my shoulders.
What Makes this Cape Special
The difference between this cape and the coat is the shade of green that Secret Honey used. I prefer this one over the coat which is much more bright. The cape is also longer and more voluminous than the cape of the coat. The print is a little bit different to the dresses, the Arendelle emblems are missing and the ornnaments beneath the print as well:
For Who is This Cape
If you are tall with narrow shoulders, you may find this longer cape more flattering than the cape of the coat. It is also more suited for you if you prefer more muted colours over very bright ones.
5. The Coronation Anna Knit Set from 2016
In 2016, Secret Honey released the 4th version of Anna’s Coronation Dress: A tulle skirt with a knit camisole and a knit cardigan. This set is the most size forgiving, all the other versions tend to be quite small, especially in the bust area but this set offers plenty of room. Here is the whole set on my dress form:
Interesting Info
- Release Date: 29.09.2016
- Original Price: 27’700 yen plus taxes for all three pieces
- Colour or other Variations: none
- Size: Very size forgiving, the top is stretchy up to over 100cm in the bust, the skirt is fully elasticated and fits an 80cm waist and the cardigan has no strongly defined shoulder width that would look strange.
- Print: Special print exclusive to this set
- Accessories: none
- Blogpost: You can have a look at more photos in my blogpost about this Coronation Anna Knit Set
Here is a photo of me wearing the set in November 2024:
What Makes this Set Special
This version stands out for many reasons! Here are some:
- Comfort: This set is soooooo comfy to wear, it is absolutely fantastic. The materials are soft and stretchy and also lightweight. I definitely preferred wearing this over any other version if we compare them in the comfort department.
- Size: This set is the only Coronation Anna set from Secret Honey that is not that tiny. I was wearing a size L and was able to fit into it without it being uncomfortable.
- Design: Of course, the knit design for cardigan and top as well as the tulle skirt are unique compared to the other versions.
- Print: The skirt has an exclusive coronation Anna print!
Here is a look at the two exclusive motives of the print. Starting with Elsa in front of her mirror watching Anna enjoy the open gates:
And second, Anna looking at a portrait of Elsa:
For Who is this Set?
This set is for princesses that value comfort just as high as an accurate disneybound outfit. It is also a good choice if you do not want to wear the tiny other versions and prefer a bit more room in the waist and bust area. And of course, it may be your outfit of choice because of the print that focuses on Anna and Elsa as sisters.

6. The Coronation Anna Coat
This piece is something for all the lovers of bright, bright colours out there 😀 The green is something, let me tell you that. It is an obvious choice for having the cape, the coat and the cape together with the coat as options for warmer and cooler weather to complete your Coronation Anna Disneybound.
Interesting Info
- Release Date: 12.11.2016
- Original Price: 29’000 yen plus taxes
- Colour or other Variations: none
- Size: Secret Honey’s standard coat size, only about 94cm in the bust area (don’t forget to think about the pieces you will wear underneath, they add a few cm to your bust circumference)
- Print: Standard print, no Arendelle emblems
- Accessories: none
- Blogpost: You can have a look at more photos in my blogpost about this Coronation Anna Coat
What makes This Coat/Cape Special
The gorgeous bright green is definitely something, if you like to wear loud colours. Also the versatility that this coat gives you is special. You have a bright green coat with navy details, a cape and then of course the coat combined with the cape. These options keep you covered for whatever weather the sky throws at you.
The cape is shorter and less voluminous in comparison with the 2015 cape. And there is a difference in colour, as mentioned before.
For Who is this Coat
This coat is for princesses, that like their garments to do overwork and function in many different ways and situations. It is also for every lover of loud and bright colours. This coat is a statement 🙂
The Missing Pieces
Now, let us talk about the pieces that I have not owned (yet).
Coronation Anna 2015 Cardigan
First up, there is this a black cardigan from 2015. It has green bows and in the back, there is a little jewel that looks like Anna’s hairpiece.
- Release Date: 11.09.2015
- Original Price: 9’800 yen plus taxes
- Print: none
Coronation Anna Tote Bag 2015
I was thinking about getting this tote bag, but my Elsa ones handles are in quite bad shape, so I opted for the Shimamura x Chiharucat Coronation Anna bag instead. Here is the official picture:

- Original Price: 3’900 yen plus taxes
- Print: Standard Print
Coronation Anna Cushion 2015
This cushion was not up for sale, it was a gift with purchase in November 2015. I mention it here to complete this list of Secret Honey Coronation Anna Pieces. Here is the official photo:

Love,
Ella
