In childhood, all girls love to play with dolls. Someone has whole collections and sets of puppet families. Therefore, taking the image of the toy as the basis, you can make a special carnival costume for the girl. Barbie doll or any other can serve as a prototype.
Doll costume - what is it?
This beautiful and fabulous image will appeal to any girl. Moreover, you can come up with clothes and costume details with your child. Of course, you can not bother yourself and purchase a finished outfit in the store. But if you want to test your creativity and sew a doll costume for a girl with your own hands, you should know the following information. Such a suit consists of the following elements:
- dresses;
- shoes;
- hairstyles;
- additional details.
Well, now we will dwell on each of the listed details in detail and analyze how they should look.
Dress
A dress is an obligatory clothing of any doll, and our costume is no exception. Lush dresses of bright colors look great. These can be purchased at clothing stores. But if you have sewing skills on a typewriter, then we suggest that you sew a carnival costume yourself. A doll for a girl is the best friend, so you can choose your favorite toy and try to transfer the image to a child’s costume. Below in the photo you can see how this option looks.
We advise you to choose the material for the dress like satin. He wrinkles less and looks more elegant. Do not forget about the multilayer petticoat, which is sewn from tulle. For sewing a dress, a bright color is chosen, for example, pink or yellow. Also used additional accessories: braid, rhinestones and more.
It is advisable to choose dresses with a short sleeve, which can be made lush or decorated with lace. It is also not superfluous to decorate the dress on the side with a magnificent bow.
Footwear
It is advisable to wear white tights under our suit. For a girl, a doll is the personification of femininity, so it is very important to use such women's accessories as tights, stockings. White socks with lace will look very elegant.
Shoes that should be chosen for the dress should be low heels. Shoes or sandals will be a great option that will complement the image of the doll.
As for the color, choose neutral or the color of the dress. The most suitable are white and pink colors. Each girl in the wardrobe will find this color shoes. Additionally, shoes are not necessary.
Hairstyle
A doll costume for the New Year for a girl must necessarily be complemented by a chic hairstyle. You can consider options for large or small curls, lush hairs and high tails. Here you can already give free rein to imagination.
If you braid two braids with an unusual parting, you will get a traditional image of a soft doll. The same effect can be achieved by braiding two high tails.
If desired, you can decorate the tails or braids with lush bows, which, by the way, are easily made at home.
Hair with bangs can also be effectively styled, thereby complementing the costume for the girl. Barbie doll, as you remember, had long straight hair and a bang. You can choose it to create an image.
But I would like to consider another of the hairstyle options - this is a wig. Quite convenient and simple, no need to bother and waste time creating beautiful curls. Another feature of wigs is that they come in various colors. For example, a pink wig matched to the dress will create the effect of brightness and fabulousness.
Among the wigs, you can choose something special, for example, such as in the photo below.
This wig, consisting of threads, can be of different colors and thicknesses. But keep in mind that not every dress fits this hairstyle. A filament wig resembles the hair of a rag doll. Therefore, it is appropriate to wear it if you are creating a rag doll costume for a girl. This doll is dressed in a discreet dress with an apron, and on her legs she most often socks.
Additional details
The main addition to the image of the doll is makeup. Do not worry, it has nothing to do with adult makeup. The fact is that some details just need to be depicted on the baby's face. These include blush, hemp, long eyelashes.
To do this, we will use watercolor paint, which is washed off with water without any problems. Blush is most often depicted as two small circles of red or pink.
You can draw your eyes with arrows and draw cilia on the lower eyelid. This will give the eyes expressiveness and puppetry.
You can complement our image of the doll by decorating the hairstyle. To do this, a diadem or satin ribbon is suitable, from which a bow is tied.
And if your New Year’s doll costume for a girl is an exact copy of a toy, then we advise you to bring it with you. It will be quite funny and unusual to see a toy copy of a girl. As a doll accessory, they also choose a small handbag.
