Girls dream of being princesses. And if she is also a sorceress, then this desire is amplified many times. This is the case with the heroine of the cartoon "Frozen." Elsa is a princess who has become a queen, possessing incredible and powerful power. She controls the cold and frost.
How not to wish Elsa's Frozen Dress for New Year? Parents have to look for something similar on sale. But costumes can not always be purchased. Then mother’s ability to sew comes to the rescue. In addition, to make such a dress yourself is not very difficult.
What will be required to make an outfit?
Those who are thinking about the opportunity to sew an Elsa dress from Frozen with their own hands, you need to consider that you will have to make two parts. An important element is the dress. So we need fabric. You can purchase satin crepe. It glistens like silk or satin, yet dense enough to fall. It is only necessary to choose a pale turquoise hue to make the dress look like the original. For a girl with a height of 130 cm, a cut of 1 meter will be enough. Moreover, the length that Elsa’s dress from Frozen will have will be up to the floor.
For this fabric you will need to choose the appropriate thread. Do not get involved in blue and green shades. A pale gray thread will be invisible on such a fabric.
The back closure comes in handy with a zipper. It is quite enough length of 30 cm. It will be necessary to take into account that it will have to be sewn below the waist. After all, the girl should be comfortable wearing an outfit. If you wish, you can choose a small button on which the dress will be fastened above the zipper.
But the Elsa dress from Frozen is not the main attribute of the costume . A cloak is what makes it special. She is advised to sew from light and airy types of fabric, cutting in size so that a beautiful cloak is obtained. And then sew on to the dress or make ties.
The cape will be unique and unusual if crocheted. Then cotton threads of the "Iris" type will come in handy, and a thin hook to them, for example, No. 1.75. To make the cloak long enough, you need at least 6 skeins of yarn of 25 grams each.
What else might be required?
All kinds of glitters, beads, sequins and rhinestones - they can decorate the bodice of the dress. So the image will be more accurate. Because Elsa’s outfit shines and shimmers. It is as if made of ice.
Snow patterns made of rhinestones or beads can be invented on your own or pry ideas on the Internet.
If you knit a wrap with sleeves, you may need a thin rubber band. It will need to be chosen in white so that it is invisible. You will need to sew it along the contour of the sleeves so that they do not slip.
How to sew a dress?
In the cartoon "Frozen", Elsa's dress (photo) is drawn very clearly. And it is clear that his style is uncomplicated. It consists of two parts: on top is a corset, and on the bottom is a wide hem, which ends at the back on the floor. Therefore, the steps for sewing dresses will be as follows.
Cut a rectangle whose length and width are equal to the volume of the chest and the height from the waist to the armpits. Moreover, it will be necessary to leave 2 cm on each side of the doorway.
At the bottom of the workpiece, sew recesses on the sides to narrow the waist.
Cut a rectangle for the hem. Its length is equal to the distance from the waist to the ankles - for a girl on a matinee, there is no point in making a big one. But the width can be different. The hem is simply straight or pleated.
Connect the two workpieces at the waist, making twists at the edges.
Sew in a zipper. Sew a button.
The top of the bodice can be fixed by sewing the elastic from the inside, or you can make very thin straps.
