When the mothers of modern girls themselves went to kindergarten or school, the New Year's costume of the Shamakhan queen was very popular. Today, times have changed, and their daughters prefer to dress up as Princess Jasmine from the famous Disney movie.
Be that as it may, on the eve of the New Year many are interested in how to make a children's costume “Oriental Beauty” with their own hands.
What is needed
Regardless of which costume option you choose, you will need:
- chiffon or organza of any bright color;
- an elastic band or elastic tape;
- sufficiently dense, preferably shiny fabric in tone with chiffon (satin, poplin, percale, etc.);
- finished monisto or decorative coins;
- braid with fringe;
- beads and bugles.
Children's New Year's costume “Oriental Beauty”: what parts it consists of
Although at first glance the outfit of Jasmine or the Shamakhan Queen seems complicated, it is quite simple to make. Most likely, you do not even need a special pattern of a children's costume of an oriental beauty, since it does not need to be planted in a figure.
It usually consists of the following main parts:
- bloomers;
- arm ruffles;
- bodice
- head jewelry (turban or crown)
- monist.
We sew a children's oriental beauty carnival costume
The production of such an outfit begins with the sewing of trousers-harem pants from dense fabric. A special pattern for this is not required, since at the waist they should be with a drawstring into which the elastic is threaded. It should also be done with the bottom of the leg. In this case, the side seams are either solid or processed along the edge with a galloon or braid and grabbed at 4-5 places, using beautiful buttons with a gold-colored hat or beads.
In addition, if there is a desire, a large triangle of this size is cut out of the same fabric or chiffon so that it can be tied on the hips of the girl. Decorate a scarf around the edge with fringe or coins.
Then sew a bodice made of thick fabric. To cut it out, they take any sleeveless T-shirt that fits the girl. After connecting all the details, draw a drawstring in the lower part and put on an elastic band or sew on a fringe. Then the bodice is decorated with glass beads and beads. If you are afraid that the child will catch a cold, then you can wear a white T-shirt without a pattern, and on top of a vest sewn from the same fabric as the harem pants. At the same time, it will be necessary to richly decorate and sew on the ties so that it does not open. In addition, you will need to put on a lot of jewelry on the chest to hide the t-shirt.
Children's New Year’s costume “Oriental Beauty” will be completed if you make transparent arm ruffles. To do this, measure the distance between the shoulder and the child’s hand and add 5 cm. Two rectangles of this width and a length of 40 cm are cut out. Each is sewn into a pipe. At the ends they make drawstrings and thread elastic bands. If you wish, make two more “constrictions” at equal distances from the upper and lower parts of the overhead sleeves.
Head jewelry
One of the main details that should make the children's costume of an oriental beauty complete is the veil. It is fixed on a head jewelry. To make the simplest version of the same fabric as the trousers and bodice, a rectangle is cut 15-20 cm longer than the circumference of the head and a width equal to the width of the elastic tape.
A pipe is sewn from it and an elastic band is inserted into it. Connect the ends into a ring. Sew a veil of chiffon or organza, decorate the ring with beads, glass beads or decorative coins around the edge.
Children's costume of the eastern beauty can be supplemented with a beautiful turban. To do this, do the following:
- they sew the base from a rigid mesh and give it the shape of a skullcap so that its circumference is 2 cm larger than the circumference of the girl’s head;
- sheathe the edges of the turban with regiline (corset tape);
- cut a strip of dense main fabric and drape it around the base of the turban, securing it with a stapler (to fill the voids, lay a layer of synthetic winterizer between the fabric and the mesh);
- sheathed a turban along the lower edge with beautiful braid;
- cut a wide strip of the same fabric, better than another shade, the length of which is equal to the diameter of the base of the turban;
- tuck it inward and sew together to make a tube of fabric;
- in the central part, a rectangular “sleeve” is assembled on a thread so that an assembly is formed;
- if the pipe from the fabric is too long, fix it at the back;
- in front of the turban, some bright decoration is sewn or glued - a brooch, artificial stones and an ostrich or peacock feather.
Both the head jewelry and the turban can be supplemented with a short veil in front, covering the lower part of the face and neck. Its lower edge is braided, and the ends are sewn to the hoop. If a turban is worn, then the veil can be pinned to it with pins on both sides of the face.
Accessories
Children's costume oriental beauty will be incomplete without accessories. First of all, you need a mono. It is made of decorative coins, beads and glass beads like a large necklace.
Dale should buy or make independently large earrings and several bracelets that the girl should wear not only on her wrists, but also on her ankles.
Footwear
If a child has to dance in such a costume only one dance on the stage, where the floor is warm enough, then you can do without shoes at all. However, it is better to sew the shoes yourself. To do this, cut 3 parts on each leg. One is obtained by simply circling the foot, and the other two should resemble a rectangular trapezoid with a very sharp angle. At the same time, it is necessary that the long base be 10 cm more than half the length of the contour of the first part.
The trapezoid is sewn along the sides and connected to the third part so that the shoe is obtained. To make a bent toe, hem a piece of metal wire under the front seam with a zigzag, pick up the fabric and bend it. Sew around the upper cut an elastic band that will prevent the shoe from falling off the leg. Decorate it with beads and rhinestones.
Makeup
Children's costume of the eastern beauty looks great on dark-haired and brown-eyed girls with dark skin.
To make it suitable for your daughter with a pronounced Slavic appearance, it is better to apply makeup. To do this, you can use a wig or hide the hair under a turban, to which several curled false curls are sewn.
In addition, the eyebrows should be summed up with a black cosmetic contour pencil, and the eyelids should be tinted with dark shadows with sparkles, giving the eyes an almond-shaped shape.
If the child does not suffer from allergies, then with a small amount of spray, self-tanning can be applied to the skin.
Now you know how to make the costume “Oriental Beauty” (for children). Moscow is a city where you can buy or rent any carnival outfit. However, if you sew it yourself, your daughter will forever remember it.
