New time gives us new idols, and today Winx fairies are very popular among girls. Before the New Year holidays, store shelves are filled with costumes of characters from the same cartoon. But there are carnival images that are timeless, for example, Snowflakes and Malvins.
Let's do the Malvina outfit with our own hands. What is the costume made of? Malvina is a girl with blue hair, so the main element of the carnival costume is a wig of blue or blue color. Also necessary elements of the costume is an elegant dress, a large bow bow and trousers.
If your daughter’s wardrobe has a beautiful elegant dress in pastel color, then Malvina’s costume is almost ready. If not, then the dress must be bought or sewn.
If you sew a dress of chiffon and jacquard satin of the same color, then the carnival costume of Malvina will be very tender and airy. The top of the dress is cut out from the satin. For the pattern, you can use a T-shirt that fits well on the child: put it on the fabric, circle it, add allowances for the seams, cut and sew. Insert a hidden zipper on the back. The skirt of the dress is three tiers of chiffon ruffles. Ruffles need to be made double, with a difference of two centimeters. The lowest row of frills should be so long that the pantaloons can be seen, approximately to the knee. The following frills are shorter by five and ten centimeters. From chiffon along the oblique we cut out strips of fabric, the longer, the more magnificent the dress will be. On the bottom of the frill, we process a “zigzag” seam, on the top - we add to the required width. Sew to the top of the dress. Sleeves can be of two types: "lanterns" or "wings". For the “wings” you need to cut an oval from chiffon, bend it in half and sew to the dress, laying the folds. Sleeves - “lanterns” are cut out very wide, and then assembled on the arm five centimeters from the edge.
Now you need to sew the pantaloons that complement the costume of Malvina. To build a pattern, you can use elongated wide shorts, insert elastic bands in the belt and on the bottom of the legs. Legs can be decorated with frills or lace. Under the dress, the trousers should peek out about 15 centimeters.
Malvina's costume should be decorated with a wide bow belt. To do this, we will cut out a strip of 150 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide from satin fabric, fold it in half with the front side inward and stitch it, leaving an un sewn place for turning out. Then 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 at the store, or 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 knit cap that leaves the forehead open. We take thin sheets of paper with a width of about 30 centimeters and cut them into centimeter strips, not reaching the edge of the sheet. Then we twist these strips with a pencil, sharp scissors or curling iron. Sew or glue the curls to the base, forming a Malvina hairstyle. We tie a magnificent bow and with the help of invisibility attach it to the wig. Malvina's costume is ready.
