A bit of a deep dive into the archives this week. I thought I’d do one today highlighting fancy dresses, because fancy dresses are fun.
I used to do lots of these posts and then I sort of stopped. I don’t know why. They’re fun and often inspiring for me. I often end up seeing things that I drew and thinking, Oh, I could do a riff on that and then… That’s how inspiration works after all.
Anyway, I really love drawing fancy fantasy gowns- “princess gowns” if you will. It’s funny, because as a kid, I was not a princess person. I loved dolls, but mostly I liked how the tiny clothing and details were so neat.
As a grown up, however, I find myself very attracted to drawing fancy dresses.
So, here’s twenty fancy paper doll dresses that you can pick from. Let me know if I missed a favorite dress of yours from the blog! I got most of my favorites, though I’m sure if I had searched around on a different day, I would have found a different set of twenty to highlight.
I think the garden ballgowns set was a favorite of mine – I love the east-meets-west styling and the colors. Lillies and Birds was also wonderful (and the pale blue hair super cute)
Yes, those are two of my favorites as well.
