Back when I first named this paper doll Maeghan. The “real Maeghan” demanded that she have “absurd fantasy dresses.” Well, I don’t know how absurd these are, but I do think they are fairly over the top. Most of my dresses are realistic in so much as they could exist, not in so much as they do or should exist.
I did have fun drawing them. I admit my normal taste is a more towards these sorts of fantasy gowns over the huge skirted things that I drew today. Still it was fun to go wide skirted for once and I might have been influenced by watching Cinderella recently. (Though the Evil Step Mother has far better costumes than anyone else in that film.)
I digress.
I gave her a sword, because I wanted her to be able to defend herself. Plus, she has plenty of room to conceal it among those amazing skirts.
Has anyone else seen the new Cinderella movie? What did you think of the costumes? I really enjoyed them, myself.
Love, love, love this. And for those of us who might not be into the sword part, it could be redrawn into an umbrella! Overall this is gorgeous — my very favorite gowns to date.
To make them “absurd” (I use scare quotes because I don’t know your definition), color is your friend!
I loved Cinderella, and I also thought that the stepmothers costumes were fabulous. You captured her hair magnificently. 😀
the costumes were definitely my favorite part. also, absurd princess fantasy rocks my world
I love this one, it looks so cool, the hair is really pretty [wish I could do my hair like that]
