Sewing a ball gown, even for a children's masquerade, is not as easy as it might seem. It's good if you already have at least a little sewing experience. If you don’t have one, you can also make a costume using this master class. But, you need to be especially careful and not deviate from the instructions.

What you will need to sew a suit:

• tracing paper for patterns;
• measuring tape;
• scissors;
• a simple pencil;
• tailor's chalk;

• pins;
• satin fabric in 3 colors: blue (bright and light) and snow-white;
• thin elastic band “Hungarian”;
• elastic band 5 mm;
• white tulle (hard in texture);
• blue shiny chiffon;
• lace 3-5 mm;
• white and blue threads;
• sewing machine.

Advice! Before buying fabric, you need to make a pattern and try to transfer it to any piece of fabric. Even a sheet will do. This way the seamstress will know how much fabric is needed and will not buy too much.

Sewing the bodice

Cutting a bodice for any garment is a complex procedure. Therefore, it makes sense to simplify it. This can be done using the most ordinary children's T-shirt.

Advice. To make the bodice even brighter, you can sew sequins, beads, flowers, etc. on it.

Sewing a skirt

Skirt for festive costume Cinderella will consist of 3 layers. Upper layer- chiffon, main - satin and tulle petticoat.

• Take light blue satin, two waist circumferences wide and length from waist to ankle + 5 cm. Hem the bottom edge. Sew satin along the side edge to create a tube.
• Measure tulle and chiffon of the same length. Their width can be arbitrary, usually several waist circumferences. Sew the fabric along the sides, just like satin.

Attention! The more tulle you use, the more magnificent the ball gown will be.

• Sew tulle and chiffon along the waistline and pull it together so that its width matches the width of the satin.
• Insert tulle under the satin, and chiffon - on it. Sew the fabrics along the waistline, joining them together.
• Measure a piece of regular elastic (waist circumference + 2.5 cm), cut it and sew it into a ring.
• Distribute the waist of the three-layer skirt along the elastic band and carefully stitch it.
• From tulle and white satin, cut and sew 2 circles (radius - 20 cm). Fold them in half and sew them to the waist of the skirt.

When the top and bottom parts of the dress are ready, they need to be turned inside out and sewn. When the costume is ready, you definitely need to buy beautiful shoes to go with it. And hope that little Cinderella won’t lose them at the New Year’s masquerade.

And soooo... I actually started sewing. I started sewing Cinderella's dress. Or rather, petticoats for Cinderella's dress.

Bobbins of fabric for dresses began to be purchased from wholesalers and retail... All kinds of... Different fabric, different colors, different thicknesses, different textures...

And as the dress developed, grew and took on its shape, more and more ideas appeared..

And the more the dress grew and took on shape. The more ideas I had and the more my life changed... It went through a difficult period with me and moved to another city.. And strangely enough. It didn’t get abandoned or wither like many unfinished creative ideas and projects... And the fuller and more interesting my life became, the more magical this dress became...

In order for everything to turn out really beautiful and to be like in a film, I watched this film every day for several months, sometimes several times, so I don’t even know the total number of views... I analyzed some parts of the film frame by frame on slow rewind and screenshotted them. ... to understand all the movements of Cinderella, the dress... to see all the layers of the dress, their order and color. Naturally, the entire Internet was searched in all languages ​​to find all the pictures, behind-the-scenes, all the interviews and everything related to the film. It sounds like fanaticism from the movie X))), but I just tried with all my might to understand what and how this dress was made, although initially I didn’t pay attention to it special attention.. The education of a restorer-reconstructor played its role - to get to the bottom of all the details.
When I started sewing petticoats, at first they weren’t big or fluffy, but the higher the petticoat, the more fluffy it was, the more branches it had. Not all petticoats are presented here, only those that I remembered photographing))

Then endless flounces began to be sewn.... the entire floor was littered with endless ribbons of fabric...

Hello, friends!

2013 continues!

Today we present to your attention a very beautiful work.

The beauty is not even in the excellent execution, but in the sincerity of the project.

Judge for yourself…

Participant of the competition number 2 – Elena Skripkina, in the role of kind with a “Cinderella” costume

“….I have a single father I know, he shared his misfortune - his daughter was supposed to be Cinderella at the New Year’s party, and he had no idea where to get an outfit for this. After this conversation, clearly imagining how I would like to look as Cinderella, I offered to sew a dress for my daughter.

I bought 1.5 m of brocade, 1.5 m of tulle, 1.5 m of organza, 1.5 m of satin, accessories (in total I spent about 1200 rubles) and started working.

She made a half-sun petticoat from satin, inserted a ring into the sewn drawstring just below hip level, sewed a skirt from tulle and another from organza, joined them into one, and held it at the waist with ties.

Next, I sewed a bodice from brocade with a lined crossbar, made the back with decorative lacing, sewed a hidden zipper on the side and attached a half-sun skirt, making the puffs on the model. The bodice was decorated with homemade roses from leftover tulle and gold braid. I attached a gold ribbon to the tulle flowers using a silicone gun.

It turns out that this dress can be worn without a petticoat (the front is knee-length and has a train in the back), and since my model is a dancer, she will probably wear it to some performance. This is my first work of this kind. The model was delighted)…”

Elena, the costume turned out wonderful.

In my opinion, it suits your model perfectly and emphasizes its natural features!

Good luck in the competition!

How to make a Cinderella costume with your own hands

From Masterweb

Many of us, at least once in our lives, wanted to come to a carnival in our own, unique and inimitable costume, an exact copy of which you would never see in the crowd. You can't buy one like this in a store. But what to do if you don’t know how to sew at all and get confused in patterns, threads and pins? Of course, you can order a suit from a master, or you can create it yourself, without even touching sewing machine. Let's consider one of the simplest and most popular options - the costume of Cinderella, the charming Disney princess.

How to make a children's Cinderella outfit from an ordinary dress

A Cinderella costume for a girl is quite simple to make. If the young lady already has a light dress, then she will need to stock up on fabrics (satin, tulle, silk, organza are suitable), ribbons and braid, sparkles and rhinestones, beads and sequins. The fabric should be chosen to match the dress, but for the classic look of Disney's Cinderella, as a rule, blue and white colors. Wrap the fabric around the skirt of the dress and secure it with a wide ribbon at the waist. A bow neatly tied on the back will look very fabulous. It is important that the resulting skirt covers the legs, but does not restrict the girl’s movements. The finished costume can be decorated with beads, braid and other decorative elements.

How to make Cinderella's dress from scratch

If the girl doesn't have matching dress, then in order to create new Year costume Cinderella, a white or blue plain T-shirt and a tutu skirt will come in handy. You can take openwork fabric of the same color as the T-shirt, wrap it around the girl’s body and tie it with a bow on the back. To make the sleeves puffy, like a real Cinderella, you should cut out strips of tulle and carefully fasten them to the shoulders of the T-shirt.

By the way, if you don’t have a tutu skirt, then tulle will come in handy here too! You need to take a wide, dense sewing elastic band to match the suit and thin braid. Cut the tulle into about 50 wide strips, they should be twice the desired length of the skirt. Make a belt from an elastic band and fasten it, for example, around a can. Thread each strip of tulle into the elastic so that both free ends of the fabric are the same length. Use braid to tighten the tulle ribbons from above, just under the wide elastic band. When the belt is completely covered with fabric, all you have to do is straighten it. The skirt is ready! The resulting costume can also be decorated with beads or sequins.

How to make glass slippers

It is impossible to create a Cinderella costume with your own hands without glass slippers. You can replace them with silicone ones from the store, or you can make them yourself. To do this, you need to take the girl’s shoes and carefully wrap them in silver foil or soft cloth. Its edges should meet on the sole. Next, you should level the foil or fabric on the sole, apply silicone glue to it and glue the cardboard cut to the shape of the foot. You can decorate fairy shoes with bows from bouquets of flowers or gift packaging, glue ribbons, pieces of fabric or beads - whatever your imagination allows. After the carnival it will be quite easy to return the shoes to their normal appearance.

By the way, you can simply cover your shoes with sequins or beads, placing them close to each other. These shoes will look very fabulous and elegant, and will definitely please the young princess.

Choosing a hairstyle and jewelry

You need to complete your Cinderella costume with accessories and hairstyle. The easiest way is to curl your curls, decorating them with artificial flowers, ribbons or a tiara. Is it possible to do high hairstyle, like Cinderella from the Disney cartoon. This is where the hair donut or sophist twist comes in handy.

First you need to comb your hair well, collect it in a high ponytail and put a donut on its base. Then the hair should be evenly divided on all sides of the accessory and the “structure” should be secured at the base with a thin elastic band. Sticking strands can be tucked under a donut or wrapped around the resulting hairstyle. If the length allows, braid them.

For a sophistic twist, you also need to make a high ponytail, thread it through the slot of the hairpin and distribute the strands along its entire length. Next, you need to carefully twist your hair onto the accessory towards the back of your head. On the last turn, we connect the ends of the sophist twist at the top or bottom. We complete the look with a blue ribbon or headband. As a result, we get an almost 100% Cinderella costume. The photos offered in this article convey all the beauty of a fairy-tale costume.

And, of course, every princess needs jewelry. Silver bracelets, pendants, rings, brooches and earrings, or jewelry made to match this metal are best suited. Pearls, transparent or pale blue stones will look very beautiful. Can be used for decoration satin ribbons, tied around the neck or wrists. You can put it on your hands long gloves or mitts made of the same fabric as the dress.

Another Cinderella

Remembering Cinderella's costume, we always imagine her image at the ball. But this princess got her name from a simple dress smeared with ash. So why not try to reproduce it? To do this, we will need a not-so-new dress or sundress in a calm color: pink, brown, blue or green. On top you need to tie a white apron, which is easy to make yourself, for example, from an old sheet. We cut a strip of fabric from the same material and tie it on the head so that it holds the hair. Then the suit needs to be stained with “ash”. To do this, you need to paint an ordinary dish sponge with a black marker and stain your clothes with it. Traces of ash can be made on the girl’s face, but for this it is better to use an eye or eyebrow pencil. Regular shoes without decoration or ballet flats will suit this dress. However, you can also leave the glass slippers, as if Cinderella had just returned from the ball.

Cinderella costume for adults

Carnivals are loved not only by children, but also by adults. Therefore, the Cinderella costume will be an excellent option for girls. It can be made in the same way as for children, but there are several differences. For example, instead of a T-shirt to create a dress, you can use a corset or simply wrap the body with fabric, leaving the shoulders bare. In addition, you need to pay attention to your makeup: it should never be too bright. An excellent option would be the now popular natural make-up: perfect tone skin with a neat blush, soft pink lips, light beige, smoky gray or pale pink shadows, tinted eyelashes and natural eyebrows.
