Nothing can limit the imagination of a person, especially this applies to representatives of creative professions. Designers of clothes use not only fabrics as a source material, but also everything that a glance falls into.
For example, on the catwalks you can see dresses from newspaper scraps, colored paper, garbage bags, fresh flowers - it is difficult to list all the options. Why are ordinary housewives needlewomen worse than famous designers? A dress from improvised materials can be made by any craftswoman (or master). For this, any scraps, scraps of fabrics, paper, cellophane and everything that is at hand are suitable.
Outfits for little fashionistas
The easiest way to make a dress from improvised materials is to sew a beautiful suit for a girl. Firstly, small children, it will not take a lot of material, and secondly, they will be happy to wear unusual new clothes. If you do not throw away trimmings of different colors from crafts, it is easy to sew an attractive sundress from them. To do this, you need several strips of multi-colored fabric, which are stitched together - you get a cylinder from the canvas. Sew the braid on top, into which the stitches are inserted, and on the bottom - any trim, the same strip will fit as on the neck, or any other (ruffles, fringe). Dress from improvised materials in the form of a cute summer dress is ready.
Converting Old Things
Surely many will find at home old or long-worn shirts and shirts. Sometimes it’s not even necessary to alter them, a small transformation, and you get original dresses from improvised materials. For example, a man’s shirt can be wrapped around the body, and tied the sleeves with a beautiful bow. Add accessories and a jacket in cool weather - and no one will guess what you are wearing. Stubborn or simply bored T-shirts and large T-shirts can easily be turned into
beautiful dresses or tunics. Alternatively, the shirt can be redrawn, make feminine tucks or completely alter. And if you don’t want to do this, simply add decorative elements, such as a belt and collar, and a simple shirt turns into a unique tunic. If you find several t-shirts, cut them into horizontal strips and sew them together to create a fashionable striped dress. The advantage of creating such things is that each of them is exceptional, because it is made in a single copy.
Summer options
In the warm season, when we want to show off on the beach, it is easy to make a dress from improvised materials such as pareos and scarves.
The first is pretty nice to tie around the neck or over the chest, and the second will turn out full sundresses. For example, you can take two identical scarves (1x1 m in size), connect them with triangles on the chest, and sew them together. It remains only to stitch the braid, which serves as the ties behind the neck, and the creation of a summer outfit for a day walk or a visit to the beach is completed.
Use of unusual materials
Prior to this, we considered the usual fabric options for sewing outfits. But unusual dresses from improvised materials are dresses from newspapers, scraps of paper or garbage bags. To create a paper outfit, you will need:
- newspapers
- scissors,
- glue,
- Scotch.
You must admit that each of us will find such a set at home.
Of course, in a dress from newspapers it is unlikely that anyone will walk down the street, but to go to a carnival, a holiday or just show off at home is a good idea. Typically, paper dresses consist of two parts - the upper and lower, which are prepared separately, and then fastened together. There are many options for connecting pieces of newspapers, even if your flight is controlled only by a flight of fancy, you will end up with an original thing.
The same recommendations can be made on the manufacture of dresses from garbage bags and other cellophane products. It is better that they be black, then you do not have to make an opaque lining for them. Dresses can have a deep neckline or, conversely, they will be closed to the neck, they are sewn completely tight-fitting figure or flared - in this process there are no restrictions.
Some original ideas
To create a festive mood, use any suitable materials. Here are a few examples:
- In the summer in the forest or any other place where there are green plants, you can depict the native in a dress of large leaves. You need to connect them using fishing line or thread. Of dandelions, you can with the ability to weave not a wreath, but a whole outfit.
- Not everyone has such material, but the dress can be made from banknotes - it looks impressive and is very memorable.
- You can use several decks of cards to play, connecting them in random order.
Choose any option you like or invent your own, and let creativity give only joy.
