My Perfect Dress Creator: Doll Maker Game for Girls

My Perfect Dress Creator is a dress design game. Instead of picking a dress off the rail, you build one from its parts, like a real fashion designer.

Makeup first

The game opens with her makeup. Lipstick and the rest of the face set the tone for the dress you are about to design.

Designing the dress

The design

Choose the shape of the dress. This decides whether it reads as elegant, playful or casual.

The sleeves

Sleeves change a dress more than you would think. Try a few styles before you settle.

Colors and patterns

Pick a color, then decide if the dress stays plain or gets a pattern. One strong pattern usually works better than several.

Finishing the look

Once the dress is done, complete the outfit:

• a hairstyle that suits the neckline
• a handbag
• jewelry and accessories

A designer's tip

Start with the shape, then the color, and only then the details. Decisions in that order make the dress look planned rather than random.
