Side-Braid Princess Mid-Dance with Open Hands

A smiling princess stands in a graceful pose with both hands raised and open, as if she is mid-dance. Her hair is pinned up on top and falls into a long braid over one shoulder, with a curled strand by her ear. She wears a pearl bead necklace and a strapless gown with a fitted bodice, a sash tied at the waist with a round button, and a ruffled peplum over the hips. The wide skirt spreads out in big layers with curved, wavy hems and a scalloped edge near the bottom. The large open areas of the skirt are great for blending colors with crayons or colored pencils. Try a soft ombre, starting with a light shade at the waist and moving to a deeper one at the hem, so kids can practice shading. This free printable page is a good fit for a quiet afternoon or a dress-up themed party.
