This is the first Monica paper doll of 2015! I think she looks stunning with this collection of fancy dresses, both cocktail and more formal. I wanted to try the spiky hairstyle that I used for my post-apocolyptic paper doll again.
I find with paper dolls that I tend to do a formal gown set every year or so. In 2014, I did this set of vintage evening gowns and a set for Mia in 2012.
As a kid, I liked drawing evening gowns and I like to think my paper dolls lead the sort of high style lives where they would need fancy dresses. Plus, we are coming into Prom season, so it seems fitting to draw some prom worthy dresses.
Though, I must say, the older I get the less I find prom dresses to be anything other than gaudy. There are a few exceptions, but they are rare. I did a prom paper doll set back in 2010 based on the dresses I saw for sale in that year.
Monica’s evening and cocktail dresses are all based on real gowns except for the one on the far right with the flower. I totally made that up.
My few of my other formal gown paper doll sets have been At the Big Gala, Red Carpet Elegance, and Flowers and Jewels.
As always, enjoy the paper doll and feel free to tell me what you think about her.
She is so cute! I really like the dress on the far right.
Her hair is great! Not at all what I would expect with formal gowns.
She is super cute. She reminds me a little of Roxanne Richy from Megamind. 😀 Love the dresses.
