How to sew Malvina costume?

New time gives us new idols, and today fairy Winx is very popular among girls. Before the New Year holidays, store shelves are filled with costumes of characters from the cartoon of the same name. But there are carnival images that are out of time, for example, Snowflakes and Malvina.

Let's make the outfit of Malvina. What does the costume consist of? Malvina is a girl with blue hair, so the main element of the carnival costume is a blue or blue wig. Also necessary elements of the costume is a smart dress, a big bow on his head and pants.

If your daughter's wardrobe has a beautiful dress of pastel color, Malvina's suit is almost ready. If not, then the dress must be bought or sewed.

If you sew a dress from chiffon and jacquard satin of the same color, the carnival costume of Malvina will be very gentle and airy. From the satin the top of the dress is cut out. For the pattern, you can use a well-fitting T-shirt on the child: put it on the fabric, circle, add allowances to the seams, cut and stitch. Insert a secret zipper on the back. The dress skirt is three tiers of chiffon frills. Obobki need to do double, with a difference of two centimeters. The lowest row of frills should be of such length that the knickers can be seen, approximately to the knee. The next frills are shorter by five and ten centimeters. From chiffon oblique to cut out the stripes of fabric, the longer, the more magnificent the dress will be. At the bottom of the ruffles we process with a seam "zigzag", on the top - we gather for the necessary width. Sew to the top of the dress. Sleeves can be of two types: "flashlights" or "wings." For "wings" you need to cut out the oval from the chiffon, bend it in half and sew to the dress, laying the folds. Sleeves - "flashlights" are cut out very wide, and then gather on the hand in five centimeters from the edge.

Now we need to sew the trousers, which will complement the costume of Malvina. To create a pattern, you can use elongated wide shorts, insert elastic bands into the belt and the bottom of the pants. Pants can be decorated with frills or lace. From under the dress pants should look about 15 centimeters.

The costume of Malvina needs to be decorated with a wide belt-bow. To do this, from the satin fabric we will cut out a strip of 150 cm in length and 20 cm in width, fold it in half with the front side inward and stitch it, leaving an unsevered place for turning. Then we'll turn out the belt, iron it and sew a hole.

What is Malvina's costume without a blue hairstyle? You can buy blue artificial hair in the store, and you can make a wig yourself from colored paper. As a basis, we will use either a frame made of elastic cardboard, or a light knitted hat that leaves the forehead open. We take thin sheets of paper about 30 centimeters wide and cut them into centimeter strips, not reaching the edge of the sheet. Then these strips are curled with a pencil, sharp scissors or curling iron. We sew or glue the locks to the base, forming the hairdress of Malvina. We tie a magnificent bow and with the help of an invisible attach it to a wig. Suit of Malvina is ready.
