Students with an interest in fashion can learn how to draw a dress with this easy step-by-step tutorial. Turning it in to their own look along the way is what fashion design is all about.

If you'd like to encourage some aspiring fashion designers, here's a new tutorial that shows students how to draw a dress that never goes out of style. It has the strapless bodice, and layers of ruffle that every girl dreams of when thinking about what very special dresses look like. The classic Cinderella-type silhouette is fun all by itself, but more decorations and jewelry could be very pretty too.

Fashion design always starts with the sketch, and learning how to feel comfortable doing so takes practice. The more variety that students try out, the more they will learn about how to make their own look natural, and very stylish.

Materials for a Dress Drawing

Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. Buying the pre-sharpened ones will save busy teachers a lot of time.

Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.

Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.

Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.

Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
