Princess in Flowing Ball Gown Holding Her Skirt

A smiling princess stands in a graceful, slightly twirling pose with her hair pinned up in a high bun and a headband across her head. She wears a gown with puffed short sleeves, long gloves, a small choker at her neck, and a fitted bodice that opens into a wide, swirling skirt. Both hands hold the skirt at one side, making the hem flare out in big curves. Scalloped ruffles from the underskirt peek out along the edges, and two little heart-detailed shoes show at the bottom. The large open areas of the skirt are easy for small hands to fill in. Try coloring the outer gown in one soft shade and the scalloped ruffles in a contrasting color so the twirl really stands out.
