Description:

I edited this swap to allow for participants to list more than one character in the comments section. When partners are assigned, you will choose one (1) character from your partner's preferences and design for that fairy tale character. :)


It’s your time to shine as an haute couturier for the fashionable ladies and gentlemen of the Land of Make-believe! How would you feel designing ball gowns for the fairy tale character that chooses you to be their designer for the upcoming grand event of the year? Honored and thrilled of course! You are about to kiss the feet of your new patron but decided against it and remembered that you are a dignified person so you just finished your cup of tea in one gulp, gasped, coughed a couple of times, and proceeded to toddle happily to your workstation and begin to work at once. Lol.

Here are the guidelines for this swap:

  • Design two (2) evening attire/gowns for the fairy character of your partner’s choice in a clean letter-size paper. You are welcome to go beyond the required 2 designs if you want.

  • The designs must be hand-drawn, of course.

  • They can be contemporary, traditional, vintage, or anything. The sky’s the limit!

  • Draw the front portion and back portion in a single sheet. Add a title or a name for your design.

  • Any medium can be used for coloring, shading, or adding accents.

  • The sheets can be folded to be cost-friendly.

Now here comes the fun part: When you receive the designs, you will choose one that your character would like to wear to the New Year Ball and put it in the comments on your rating. Also in the comments, write a review of the designs your partner sent to you and say it like you are the character of your choice.

An example of a rating comment by the Big Bad Wolf:

Your creations are simply splendid but I much prefer the black ensemble over the moss-green. I have a reputation to uphold and it simply won’t do to tarnish my wicked look with something colorful! – The Big Bad Wolf

Your actual comments can be added after the character’s comment.

Please do not criticize the way they are drawn. Some of us are not a pro when it comes to drawing and we’re all here to have fun designing outfits.

Please mention your choice of fairy tale characters to the comments below so your partner will know as soon as partners are assigned. It’s ok if someone has already chosen your characters. When partners are assigned, you will choose one (1) character from your partner's preferences and design for that fairy tale character. Of course, you will mention in your swap who they are designed for. :)

All members of the group are welcome to join. I will be checking profiles very carefully before assigning partners, of course, and I’m hoping that there will be no questionable and inactive participants. :) No recent ratings of 1 or 3 for the past six months, no unsent/late swaps on the dashboard, and have logged in recently before assigning partners. You’re welcome to send me a PM to explain your bad ratings and I may take it in consideration. I will gladly angel if any flaking happens.

Feel free to ask questions if something is not clear.

Have fun everyone!


I might turn this into a series of swaps if it becomes successful.

This is my first time hosting a public/group swap so if I’m doing something that is not right, please don’t hesitate to inform me. Any help or guidance is appreciated. :)

I DEMAND that all creations from this swap be uploaded to our group Flickr pool! Such a cute idea.

daydrifter 11/ 4/2010 #

Ooh, @meian nice choice!

Hm. I guess my character is...The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella.

meian 11/ 4/2010 #

Lol. Thank you @thehappyhoneybee and @daydrifter I would love to upload mine to Flickr. (I will sign up first for an account though :D )

As @TangleCrafts suggested to me, I edited the swap so you can include more than one character if ever your partner would like more choices. But you will have to create for just one character only. :)

meian 11/ 4/2010 #

Here are my fairy tale characters:

  • The Wicked Queen from Snow White
  • The Big Bad Wolf (Lol. I love villains!)
  • Tom Thumb

Oh I see you changed things up. I was wondering why your first comment was deleted, @meian And I would love to join in on the Flickr group fun! (Just requested to join, so whoever's the admin there, let me in!)

O: I would love to draw the big bad wolf in fancy dresses LOL! I love me some villains, too.

My updated list is: Fairy Godmother from Cinderella.
The witch from The Little Mermaid.
The Beast from Beauty and the Beast.

@50DaysOfSummer You may add Pinocchio back to the list, if you want. There's no limit. :)

I would like a design for the Little Mermaid (without Disney imagery, to be picky), one of the spirits of the air that she transforms into, or Thumbelina. Thanks!

woolyartichoke 11/28/2010 #

I would like designs for Little Red Riding Hood, Or The Mad Hatter or or The wicked queen from Snow White. (Please no Disney/movie imagery).
