Decorate the Dress Worksheet

Let your little fashion designer shine with this Decorate the Dress worksheet! A simple outline of a dress invites children to create their own style with color, patterns, and design.

What’s Inside

• A blank dress outline on a figure with arms raised (dance / fashion pose)

• Plenty of space for pattern design, color blocks, embellishments (lace, sequins, bows etc.)

• Clean, uncluttered layout so focus stays on the dress itself

Why It’s Useful

This worksheet supports:

• Creative & Artistic Expression — kids decide how the dress looks: patterns, textures, accessories

• Fine Motor Control — coloring, drawing decorations and staying within the lines

• Design Thinking — considering symmetry, color coordination, style choices

• Confidence & Self-Identity — children can design something that reflects their preferences

How to Use It

1. Distribute the printed worksheet to students or children.

2. Begin with a brainstorm: What kinds of dresses do you like? Talk about styles (casual, party, fairy tale), patterns (stripes, polka dots, floral), accessories (belts, bows, jewels).

3. Sketch ideas lightly in pencil (optional) so changes can be made before coloring.

4. Let children decorate using colored pencils, markers, crayons, even collage materials or stickers.

5. (Optional) Have students write a short description: What is the name of your dress style? When would someone wear it? What colors did you pick and why?

6. Display finished dresses in class or at home to celebrate their work.

Final Thoughts

Designing clothing is a fun combination of art, fashion, and imagination. The Decorate the Dress worksheet lets children explore style, pattern, and color in a playful way. Grab this worksheet and watch creativity take shape (quite literally)!
