Cherry Party Dress Coloring Page

Being raised with three brothers and no sisters there wasn’t much room in my life for fussy dresses. I needed to run, jump, hang upside down from monkey bars and generally do things that dresses tended to balk at. But, oh, for the holidays, my mother insisted I wore super girly dresses, with petticoats and matching hats and shoes. I crossed my arms, I frowned, I stamped my foot, to no avail. I HAD to wear a dumb dress. My brothers snickered, and I stormed out of the room.

They say confession is good for the soul… so here’s mine. I actually loved the dresses. I felt like a princess. I could twirl and the fabric whirled around me like an opened parasol.  I remember my very favorite. It was a Christmas dress. The skirt was made out of yards of white satin, the top was red velvet. The very best part were the rhinestones embedded in the velvet. I remember twirling and the lights from the Christmas tree bounced off the rhinestone covering the ceiling with magical constellations just for me.

I still don’t like dresses. I much prefer clothing that is comfortable and is willing to be my cohort in whatever mischief and mayhem I may instigate. But here’s another confession… sometimes I still like to dress up and feel like a princess. All the better if it has a skirt that twirls and swirls!

Today we are sharing a party dress… especially designed for twirling. And, of course, a cluster of cherries has been added to the over skirt using a reduced version of our Cherries Applique. Enjoy!
