Princess Ball Gown With Bows and Ruffled Tiers

A full-skirted ball gown is drawn on its own, with no person wearing it. The fitted bodice has a center seam and two puffy short sleeves, each finished with a ruffled cuff and a small curled detail. Below the waist, the skirt flares wide with soft fold lines running down from the bodice. Four bows sit along a scalloped line across the middle, and each bow has two ribbon tails hanging down. Two more tiers sit underneath, and both have wavy, scalloped ruffle edges along the bottom. The big open areas make this a good fit for younger kids who like chunky crayons. Try coloring each skirt tier in a different shade of the same color, then pick a bright contrasting color for the four bows so they really stand out.
