Glamorous Princesses

A princess waits in the middle of the screen in a simple underlayer, with a palace backdrop behind her. Your first job is the gown, and the game opens the dress category for you. Tap a silhouette and it appears on her right away, full skirt and all. Nothing locks in, so you can cycle through several before committing.

The wardrobe leans formal. Ball gowns with satin skirts, off-shoulder necklines, sheer overskirts, gloves that reach past the elbow, and heels with jewel buckles. The accessories categories carry the royal theme: tiaras, long drop earrings, layered necklaces and small handbags. Hair ranges from high chignons to long waves, and a few styles come with built-in strands of pearls. Everything layers correctly, with the bodice tucked under any jacket piece and necklaces resting on the neckline.

What separates this from a basic makeover game is how far the jewelry categories go. Most dress up titles stop at one necklace slot. Here you can stack a choker under a longer pendant, and the game renders both. A round ends with a finished portrait of your princess against the palace background, which you can keep as a saved look.

Start with the gown, because its neckline decides which necklaces will sit right. A strapless bodice plus a choker and long pendant is a combination that reads expensive. Try hair up when the dress has detailed shoulders, since loose waves cover them.
