"Winged" costumes
Many people like the fairy costume. Any elegant dress, pretty haircut- and you are a fairy sorceress. The most important thing is not to forget about the wings.
There are other “winged” costumes for girls. For example, ladybug, bee, butterfly, angel.
Wings are easy to make with your own hands. You will need cardboard or wire for the base and nylon (white or colored tights).
Sew elastic bands to the wings and the child can try them on.
Butterfly wings can be painted directly on the fabric and secured on the back with harnesses, and on the wrist with special bracelet loops.
Try attaching the graceful wings of a dragonfly to the harness of a dress, disguising the attachment point with beautiful flowers.
You can use fur or feathers for the angel's wings.
Disposable plates can also be adapted for homemade angel wings.

Not only boys are distinguished by their explosive temperament and restless, rebellious disposition. If your little one is the kind of person you can safely say “get off your head” - these costumes are just the case...
A little naughty and mischievous girl will surely love the costume of an imp or little devil. Attach horns to the hoop, use red and black colors, and the young fashionista will do the rest herself! She has a lot of charm.

The pirate costume has always been one of the most popular. Girls can also try themselves in the image of a “thunderstorm of the seas”. The brave pirate is not afraid of storms! She herself is a real hurricane! Don’t forget about a saber or a revolver, and a hat or a bright bandana on your head. An eye patch can be replaced with face painting. Large earrings and a pair of finger rings will complement the image of a dashing robber.
A witch can be mysterious and enigmatic. Who knows what kind of medicine she has in the bottle and where her spider and snake friends are hiding. A broom is an important addition to the image of a witch.
Pig costume for the New Year
This year the pig costume will be more relevant than ever. It would seem that piggishness is not in fashion, but a cute little snout and rosy cheeks will not leave anyone indifferent.
You can sew a pig costume from scrap materials. You can just make a hat or ears on a hoop, or hoof gloves.

Tips for choosing a New Year's costume for a girl
Choosing a New Year's costume is an excellent opportunity to “try on” the role of your favorite character: to understand the essence of the character of a particular hero, to analyze his behavior and actions. This is psychologically very important: the child learns to feel the nuances of various emotions.
If the opinions of the parents and the child regarding the choice of costume do not coincide, it is still important to leave the last word to the child. After all, this is his holiday.
If you decide to make the costume or any details yourself, be sure to involve your child in the process. Joint discussion and creativity brings us closer together and helps us better understand each other.
Check that the suit parts are securely fastened. Losing a mantle, wings or tail can ruin a party in a matter of seconds. A tiara slipping over your eyes, prickly elements that make everything in the world itch, sharp pins in a royal hairstyle and other excuses from the category of “beauty requires sacrifice” are not worth children’s tears, believe me.
Dear readers. Tell us how you chose a costume for a girl. Or maybe you did it yourself? Share your experience and tips in the comments.
One of the most anticipated holidays among children is New Year, and not only because of gifts and sweets. This day is filled with magic and charm, and only adults know that it is best to celebrate the holiday in an interesting and nice suit, so every parent tries to come up with something unusual and beautiful.
Carnival costume- one of the most important attributes of the New Year. Parents' imaginations are endless when it comes to making outfits, and the process can be very long and labor-intensive. Many mothers fluffy dresses They prefer tutu skirts made of tulle; on its basis, you can create a lot of memorable images that will remain in the child’s memory for a long time. Even a beginner can handle such a product, because it is not necessary to sew a skirt. You won't need a lot of materials for the job:
- elastic for a belt 5-7 cm wide;
- tulle;
- scissors;
- tape measure.
Important! The amount of material depends on the fullness of the skirt. You should always take into account the length of the product and the child’s waist circumference. When calculating the amount of material, use these values as a guide, multiplying them by half.
Fluffy tutu skirt - instructions
Some manufacturers produce tulle already in spools. If you find exactly this one, it will be even easier, since you just need to cut it to length. Don't be upset if you don't find it. Take the tulle in one piece. The simplest ballet tutu does not require any effort to make; we will consider step by step two options for how to make a tutu skirt without sewing. In the first case, you will need to do the following:
- Measure the child’s waist with a measuring tape, take a wide waist elastic band, and cut the resulting length, first subtracting 3-5 cm.
- Place the ends of the elastic on top of each other and sew them tightly. This elastic band will become a belt for a future skirt.
- Prepare tulle. Set aside the required length, multiplying it by half and adding 2.5 cm. If you have a solid piece of material, cut it into strips 7.5-8 cm wide.
- The elastic band of the belt needs to be pulled over something rigid, the back of a chair will do. Fold the tulle strip in half and tie it around the elastic.
- Repeat the steps, gradually moving the tied strips closer together.
The second method is useful for those who want to make a 2- or 3-layer tulle skirt. The manufacturing process is not much different, but a checkerboard elastic band is suitable as a belt. What do we have to do:
- Prepare the tulle as in the first case; for a two-layer skirt you will need 2 spools.
- Stretch the rubber band over a large book or suitable board.
- Fold the tulle strip in half and thread it into the second row from the bottom. Then do the same until you have covered the entire row.
- To make the second row, take a pen or pencil. They will help you avoid getting lost in layers. Tie further strips without missing any space. Straighten and tighten the material to make the skirt look neater.
Important! Use soft or medium-hard tulle. A skirt made from it will look much more beautiful and will bulge less.
Tutu costume ideas
A tutu skirt will suit almost every look. Just add accessories and decorate a little ready product, and you can safely go to the ball. In this simple but effective way you can make a costume for a fairy, kitten, squirrel, frog, snowflake, butterfly, and any other character. The main thing is to have imagination and a desire to surprise your child.
Fairy
Many girls loved this magical image, and my mother loved it precisely because you can match an ordinary dress with accessories, and the outfit is ready. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a dress of a suitable style or color. This is where a tulle skirt will come to the rescue. For this product, select suitable color: soft lilac, pink, lilac. Length can be maximum. You can sew a bodice of matching flowers to the skirt, and decorate your head with a wreath or a cap with a tulle ribbon in the color of the entire ensemble. The main attribute of a fairy is a magic wand and wings!
Squirrel
When creating a skirt, the main thing is to choose a material that matches the color. Here you can combine several colors in one product: orange, brown and black, tying the stripes on the elastic band one by one. Additional accessories will be:
- ears;
- tail;
- paws.
Ears can be made from felt by cutting out 2 orange triangles and fastening them together. Place slightly smaller triangles on them white. The base must be glued to the hoop. It will be convenient to use hot glue. The tail must be bushy. To keep it in shape, sew a wire inside. Use natural or faux fur as material for the tail. You can put gloves with cut off fingers on your hands, and sew fur strips or pom-poms on them.
Frog
Very interesting costume It might work if the skirt is multi-colored. Here you can use several shades of green at the same time. As in the previous costume, you can put green satin sleeves on the arms, or the same gloves. You can decorate the child’s head with a mask, or have a specially sewn hat for the costume. It wouldn't hurt to have leg warmers on your feet.
Important! If the skirt is 2 or 3 colors, then the rest of the accessories should be the same shade, then the whole ensemble will look harmonious.
Snow White
This Disney princess is a frequent guest at the New Year's ball. A girl in such a costume always looks unusual. There are many different interpretations of this costume, but the color scheme remains the same: blue top, yellow bottom. In this case, the tutu skirt should be made long, made of soft tulle, and one color. If a girl styles her hair like Snow White and adds a headband with a cute bow to her costume, then the look will be completely complete.
Princess
Becoming a princess is every girl’s dream, which means the carnival costume must match. Gold, cream, or beige colors are suitable here. The skirt must be maxi. Ideally, it will be made with a checkerboard elastic band and it will be magnificent. Every princess should have a crown. Making a crown yourself is not at all difficult. There are many options: you can make it from cardboard, from wire, decorated with beads. Or you can make a small crown out of lace by first greasing it with PVA glue and letting it dry.
Little Red Riding Hood
In Charles Perrault’s fairy tale, it was never indicated that the main character’s skirt, like her cap, was red. However, most of this character’s New Year’s costumes are made in red. You can go the same route and make a red tutu skirt; in terms of length, it will still be better if the product is knee-length. An immutable attribute The costume is a red cap. You can complement the look with leg warmers, an apron, and a basket.
Kitty
A tutu skirt in this look looks very impressive if it is one color, for example black or white. To a short fluffy skirt you need to sew a fur tail, tights or striped leggings. The look will be completed with ears on the hoop. As a top, you can use a single-color turtleneck or dance leotard. It wouldn’t hurt to trim it with faux fur to complete the look.
Butterfly
There can be a lot of color options here, the butterflies are bright and cheerful. The skirt can be made in 3, 4, or even 5 colors, the main thing is that they match each other. It is better to decorate your hair with long mustaches on a hoop. Don't forget to attach the wings to the back. It’s not difficult to make them: twist a frame from strong wire, tie it nylon tights, and color with paints. A bright butterfly in front of you.
As you can see, a suit made by yourself is an excellent alternative to a store-bought one. You can craft together with your child; this exciting process will bring both you and your daughter a lot of pleasure.

"Queen of the Night", Creative Journey
|
|
One of the main things keeping me busy since starting the queen of the night costume was finding the right base fabric for the dress. I still had enough of everything I used for the original dress - except for the embroidered blue taffeta. I looked everywhere and purchased at least There are at least eight different blue fabrics that I now have to choose from.
Preliminary - who will become queen?
In the summer of 2013 I finally decided my Iplehouse JID Asa would become my "Queen of the Night". She had face up chipped issues and needed a new face up anyway. I recently purchased JID SOA and she was able to step into the costumes and characters that were originally created for Asa. So I brought my Asa away to Charie Wlison Grenier (who does all the faceups of my doll) for a new, more dramatic upside.
The new face up Asa was perfect for the character! Now she needs a suit.

Basics
January 25 - Even if the dress is inspired by the costumes of that Rococo period, I'm not a fanatic about historical accuracy.
so I'm not going to stress over making everything exactly period perfect. All I want is something stable to keep out of the skirt. Here's Ace with a basic slip crinoline I designed. The belt hangs low on the waist to reduce bulk at the waist, and there are two others that have skirts going to the top. There's also two channels sewn on the inside for the wires, and it needs soft thigh rolls to fill the top sides. Without wires it hangs, but strangely enough, with wires and hip pads it will be in the appropriate shape.
The thigh pads were designed after the main crinoline structure was connected because I needed to know the exact
size and shape of the space to be filled. After sewing and stuffing, I had to hand stitch the pillows into place. Next
since I need to do one of these it can be done as a whole in one part and it should be much easier.
Petticoat
Jan 27 - I have to design a pattern for the petticoat, but I'm not sure what length to make it yet. I want to switch Asa's body with my new Leona, which has a new JID girl body and a big glamor bust. New bodies stand about 1/2 higher at the shoulder than old bodies, so skirts should be lengthened accordingly. I'm going to use Leona to design the skirt models. At the same time, I painted the edges of the blue petals that are going to be sewn onto the petticoat. I bought blue catholic petals many years ago. The veins in the petals reminded me of the underbelly of a dragon. I wish I had bought a few of them as I never saw them again. Luckily I have enough petals for my Asa dress, but I'll have to use the less sharp ones I didn't use last time. After painting any edge light dark blue, I brushed on some silver paint sheen.
January 28 - painting for the Queen's petticoat was a challenge. The skirt needs to be a little larger than
in a skirt with baskets underneath, and it is necessary to gather nicely in the front and fit smoothly throughout
basket hips without additional mass. So using the sub-pinnings patterns as a guide, this is what
The picture below ends up looking like.... with big darts on both hips....
Then I had to draw up a sample skirt to see if the pattern worked. I always keep the old bed
sheets for testing clothes so I don't have to waste good fabric. I think it looks good.....
January 29 - Time to cut the bottom out of good fabrics. I collected several
from jewelry together inspires
But first the main skirt. Both fabrics I use are sheer metallics, and the pale periwinkle blue is especially thin and flimsy, so it needs to be supported by a white cotton backing. I laid the two fabrics on top of each other, smoothed them out and secured the layers. After tracing the pattern onto the back of the cotton, I cut out the skirt, but decided not to cut out the darts.
The pale blue fabric is so flimsy and moves so much that I want to first sew two layers of fabric together.
I stitch all the way around the edge of the skirt, stitching on the inside to create a seam allowance.....
Then I cut out the darts...... Here's the right one. Even with all the care I took to prevent
The fabric is from moving, there is still a small stain on the back hem that doesn't match.
So, to prevent slipping and missmatching, I decide to water the cotton belt on the blue fabric before cutting it....
With the top and bottom stitched, I put it on Asa. I switched her to Leon's bust body glamor so I know the right one
the length of the skirt to aim for, and using a ruler, measure and secure a line around the bottom where I want the ruffle to go.
The dotted red and metallic blue is very clean, so I cut the strip twice as wide as I need and fold it in half to
double the thickness so it's not as transparent. The width of the gathers is slightly more than double the circumference of the bottom
overskirt. After sewing on the ruffles, the skirt is ready for embellishment. I passed Asa's head to Leona's
bust body glamor. The resin match is excellent. All she needs now is some blushing and her own hands.
February 1 - The first layer of decoration is now on the petticoat. I hand stitched on fancy blue lace - first sewing along the bottom edge, ruffle an inch above, and then tack all the way around again all the way down to the fancy top edge. The work went very slowly, as he always does manually - it took him three hours!
Hand sewing is very labor intensive, and this is just the beginning. I collected all the trimmers and balls that should go on the petticoat. There are three different petals from a Nativity Hydrangea purchased in the same year in blue Catholic. They will all only go on the front half as there is no point in putting all that detail work into something that will never show.
February 2 - I finished with beads along the edge of the blue lace, and completed two rows of petals along the top edge of the ruffle. The purple velvet petals are from a fancy Christmas Hydrangea that was purchased the same year as the blue Catholic ones. It's so nice yet quite left-handedly more trimmed from the original costume. There's still one more row of petals to go, otherwise I'll have some ribbon sewn in to the edge of the edge that will be sewn in to fill the space between the petals and blue lace. (*Note: A pin marks the center front of the skirt)
February 3 - I sewed the final row of velvet petals on the skirt, then measured how much ribbon I would need for the ties that fill the space between the lace and the petals. The bottom edge of the ribbon requires a bead decoration. I used picot stitch but used three beads in the middle each time instead of one.
After beading the edge of the ribbon, I carefully divided it into six equal parts, and pre-sewed each section.
I collected all the trimmers I needed for the puffs.
Finished bottom embellishments... after sewing everything on and adding a little more sparkle...
Finished bottom. SOA is my model again since both Asa and Leona went to my face up artist yesterday. It's convenient
have multiple JIDs that can step into each other. I just can't work on a bodice, since Soa has a small bust.
Overskirt
The next step will be the most difficult part of the entire project - deciding on the main fabric for the dress. I don't know,
what happened to the remains of the original material, but I couldn't find it. It was a lovely dark blue taffeta with silver
floral embroidery. I've spent years searching for a replacement - something that will come close enough.
I'm going to have to choose from these six fabrics. Metallic velor is closer model-wise, but it's so period inappropriate. The flocked organza is very nice, with the right sized flowers, but it's a solid fabric and will need some goodness - that's why I bought regular taffeta. Flocked taffeta is the right kind of fabric, but the flocked flowers are too large a scale. Silk brocade is good, but silver birds and flowers cost too much. I wonder what would happen if I over-colored it?
I just want to be able to play with them all and see how they look and how they drape. Then I will decide.
Feb 4 - I decided to go with regular blue taffeta. It doesn't have any patterns or embroidery, but the curtains are better and will look very elegant with all the more intricate details. The back of the dress will be covered behind a huge cape with glittering stars and moons anyway, so it can create interest in the back. So now I have to come up with the Overskirt pattern.
I use some old sheets, pin it in place, and cut it on the skirt. This will be my drawing. I just need to add some seam allowance. I tried to soften the colors a little in the photo above so they look more like what these colors look like in real life. The blue lace is still too dark, but the other colors are pretty good. The Queen of the Night is one of the main characters from Mozart's The Magic Flute. It actually takes place in ancient Egypt, but when I made my original queen, I was going more for the style of the original costumes it probably was - during the fashion period of the day. I'm guessing that Mozart was preceded by Napoleon and his adventures in Egypt, so the costumes and scenery will be quite a lot left up to the imagination, since they don't know about the real ancient Egyptian styles yet. I could be wrong, but that's what I'm going with. So when I made my "Queen of the Night" I decided to make a rough period style dress in dark, vibrant shades of blue and purple like the night sky, with lots of sequins and sparkle to represent the stars.
February 5th - Yesterday I cut the Overskirt and grunted the sides - which took a while. I machine embroidered the front holes because they won't show the embellishment, but the hem will, and they don't have sewing machines back to the Rococo period, so the machine stitched hem will look completely different. So it had to be grunted manually. After measuring where the trim would go along the top front opening, I cut some of the same stippled sheer line as the bottom ruffle into the petticoat. I sewed it onto the skirt fabric, then decided it wouldn't work that way as it needed to be a little crooked at the leading edge of the skirt. I tried to pick it up from my seam ripper, but I can't see the detail in the dark fabrics anymore, so I ended up cutting it off instead - along with some of the taffeta edge. Well, some fry check and zig zag over the cut edge and it will be just fine. Then I cut some new strips a little bigger so I could gather them up a little to make aa a little crooked. After setting the velvet petals on, they were sewn down. I'm in the process of beading the petals on the second front opening.
I would have liked to have made the narrow purple ruffle a little fuller, but there wasn't enough purple tape to cut it to 3 times the length of the space it would have filled - well, there was, but then there wouldn't have been any left in the bodice. So I should have gone with just twice. I have to pay attention not to have the ball right at the top of the skirt (far left) as I need space for sewing machine leg when I sew the skirt to the waistband. February 6 - Finished beading on the second side and it was time to attach the skirt to the waistband. I cut the waistband out of blue fabric, and because the fabric frays super easily, I Fry checked all the ribs. I had originally planned on having the skirt open at the front, but this would mean being super precise with the measurements. I figured there would be more freedom if I made an opening in the back. Then if the belt was a little wide, it might overlap a little -. What would not be possible if the belt was opened at the front The top of the skirt was going to be very large to gather at the waist, so I decided to sew creases at the top in order to reduce the amount of fabric. I sewed sixteen darts into the top of the skirt and trimmed off the excess fabric by zig zagging the raw edges. It's a good thing I went with the opening back because the waistband ended up overlapping by almost an inch.
Here is the Overskirt with the side panels attached to the back.
February 8 - I didn't have much to do on my queen's dress yesterday as I was busy clearing out everyone that had returned from Charie's. I stitched some very large pictures onto the inside of the Overskirt, so that the side panels can be snapped into position on the Overskirt....
The next step is to sew embellishments on the other side of the snap, but I misplaced a pouch with glitter edges, clear flower petals I needed to make some flowers for the tie-back. It was right there in the morning, but disappeared later. I looked everywhere - twice, but couldn't find it anywhere. The next day, I was cutting silk ribbons, I realized that I would have had a silk ribbon box from the morning my bag of flower petals disappeared. So I went to have a look, and sure enough, they were there, right at the top. I made two flowers from several sets of petals and painted stems on ribbon roses.
Here are some of the embellishments to complete the over-skirt.....
And Overskirt with embellishments sewn on. I still need to apply some glitter, but that can wait....
Bodice
February 9 is the time to develop a bodice template. This is the very first time working with a glamorous bust so I have to start from scratch - almost. I folded a paper towel in half and traced the neckline with a small bust pattern, cut it out, and using artist's tape, tapped it into position at the shoulders. Then they placed it in the central front below. I drew the darts and seams on one side only. Then I took off the towel, folded the paper back in half along the center front and cut out the "pattern".
I added the back to the shoulder and traced everything onto some sturdy scrap paper and then cut out the first one
test bodice white cotton by cutting off all the outer edges of the seam allowance and sewing it together.
After making changes to the test bodice fabric, and the template paper, I cut out the second test bodice...
Final drawing of the bodice
