Today’s Printable Paper Doll Inspirations: Huge Skirted Ballgowns and The Colors of the Sunset
I love big skirted ballgowns. I love crazy over the top big skirted princess paper doll ball gowns.
Obviously, I am expressing this love today.
Another love of mine, from when I was a kid, are off the shoulder dresses. Generally, I blame this on being a child of the 1980s.
This ballgown was actually part of a set of two big skirted fantasy gowns I designed back in 2015. Yes, that’s right, 2015. A long long time ago, I confess.
Anyway, I found them again and I hated one of them. This one I thought, “You know, that’s not bad.”
Now, the color scheme it had back then involved lime green and orange, so that had to go. Once I had it re-colored, I actually thought it was pretty beautiful, so it wasn’t a hard decision to repost it.
So, how do people feel about big skirted ball gowns?
And think about becoming a patron if you like the blog. Every little bit helps, plus there’s previews and sketchbook content. And, I’ve got a new facebook page, so like it and such if you want. It’s home to archives posts from the depths of the blog.

The colors are so unusual and so perfect. Really nice. It pays to go back and re-evaluate old material sometimes!
It does, though I only seem to do it when I am in a pinch.
I LOVE gowns like this! This is so pretty! Thank you!
Good! I want to do more of them. They are pretty fun for me.
i think it looks like sorbet ~ i love it!
: D
Sorbet! That’s what it is. My favorite sorbet is a mix of blush orange, marula fruit, and cactus pear. The coloring really reminds me of it.
Also, floofy ballgown for the win!
