How to make a gypsy costume?

Do you want to stand out at a masquerade party, but you can not think of an image for yourself? Why not choose a gypsy costume? Such a beautiful and mysterious female role is best for a bright brunette at any age, however, to afford to try on bright skirts and shawls can also ladies with hair of a different color. The image of a gypsy will be appropriate both at a children's festival, and at an adult costume party.

Gypsy costume from improvised materials

If you want to get used to this colorful image, you can use your usual clothes.

It will take a long skirt, preferably a bright one-color or from a fabric with floral motifs. It is desirable to put on skirts at once a little, but it is possible to be limited to one, and from above to tie a large shawl or scarf. The top of the suit is a loose blouse or shirt. It is desirable that she had flared sleeves.

Blouse can also be of bright or shiny single-color material or variegated color. Irreplaceable gypsy accessories - shawls and scarves.

Another interesting idea - in carnival costumes of this subject, many fans add belts for oriental dances, decorated with ringing coins.

Of course, this accessory has a conditional relationship to the traditional gypsy costume, but for its comic festive version is quite suitable.

It is difficult to imagine a carnival costume of a gypsy without proper ornaments and make-up. The best way to give the skin a swarthy tint - the day before the holiday to take advantage of a strong tanning salon. If you do not like this option, the darkest foundation and powder are suitable. Do not forget, in addition to the face, make up the neck and décolleté zone, so that there are no abrupt changes in the shades of the skin. Eyes can be painted with bright shadows or draw large black arrows. Eyelashes densely to make up with ink. For the lips - pomegranate or bright red lipstick. It is best to complement the gypsy costume with loose hair. To increase their volume, you can curl large curls. A great addition to the hairstyle - flowers or large hair clips. Do not forget about the massive jewelry - an abundance of ringing bracelets, large earrings, gold rings, several threads of beads of different lengths - it's the pride of any gypsy.

Sew a gypsy costume with your own hands

Even if you do not often hold a thread with a needle in your hands, you will certainly be able to cope with the manufacture of such a simple carnival dress. Skirts are best sewed on a pattern of "sun" or "half-sun". If there are several of them in a suit - choose different lengths - so that they naturally "peek" one from under the other. It is also quite easy to sew gypsy skirts from unnecessary shawls of large size. To do this, triangular or rectangular shawl is folded diagonally and cut into two parts. Fold the parts together, cut the thin corner so that the length of the resulting cut is equal to the waist half-grip plus allowances for the seams. We sew long edges, we process the top - belt and fastener or elastic - to choose from. Bottom (the former edge of shawls) do not need to be processed.
