Princess Lifting Her Gown Before the First Dance Step

A princess glances back over her shoulder with a small smile, one hand lifting the side of her long gown as if she is about to start a dance. She wears a small tiara on top of her wavy hair, which flows out behind her and ends in a few curly swirls. The dress has long sleeves, an off-the-shoulder neckline, a pointed waist, and a full skirt that sweeps out to one side. The hem is trimmed with scalloped ruffles, and there are long fold lines running down the skirt. The big open areas of the skirt are good for practicing smooth, even coloring. Try a light color for the dress and a deeper shade in the folds to make the fabric look like it is swishing. Print it free at home and use gel pens or glitter markers for the tiara and ruffles.
