A princess in a layered ball gown and tiara, holding her skirt as she smiles. Medium — great for kids.
A layered ball gown begs for one color in several strengths: a royal blue or rose pink skirt with each lower layer a touch deeper than the one above it, so the tiers separate. A gold or silver tiara keeps the palette classic. If you want the storybook look, match a small detail — a sash or trim — to the tiara metal.
Holding her skirt means the fabric is gathered, and gathered fabric shades in folds: darker color tucked into each fold valley, lighter color on the raised curves between them. Short, curved strokes follow the skirt’s swish better than straight scribbles. A white gel pen dotted along the tiara’s points adds the final sparkle once everything else is dry.
