How to Draw A Dress Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

When I was young, I’d repeatedly try to draw dresses and fail. I eventually told myself that I couldn’t do it, since I was no fashion designer. Soon enough, however, I taught myself how to draw dresses by observing a few drawing tutorials. After that, I found drawing dresses to be quite easy. And if you too, like me, are having difficulties in drawing dresses, I recommend you sit yourself down and replicate the steps I use to draw my fancy gowns and dresses.

The steps to drawing a dress are very simple. You start with the main body’s structure, add the sleeves, belt, and other necessary accessories. Then, once all the details are there, you simply color it. And your dress is ready.

Let us start

Draw the dress in the shape of a volcano, or a bottle top.

Add the bottom

It is drawn in a messy and curvy sort of way.

Add the sleeves

The sleeves are kept short.

A simple design

Run this design on the front top side of the dress.

Draw the belt

It is drawn across the upper fold of the dress.

Add some more designs

This one is drawn on the skirt part.

Add details

The details are added to the designs to make them look realistic.

Add a bow

Without the bow, the dress would look incomplete.

A few more steps

You are almost there.

Final touches

Use a dark pencil to add the final touches to your dress.

Color the dress

Give the dress a light and happy color. Make it look festive.
