Matryoshka is a toy that any Russian child has known since infancy. Often this image is offered for girls' costumes at various matinees and holidays. Kindergarten teachers can offer parents a doll to make a matryoshka costume, however, no one forbids choosing this outfit for a costume event of their own volition.
Sundress - the basis of the costume
Consider folk toys - if you distract from the shape of the nesting dolls, you will notice that all these girls are in bright sundresses and shawls. But where to get the right outfit? If you already have a sundress in the Russian folk style, for example, left over from another costume, you can use it. You can make a
doll costume
with your own hands from any colorful summer sleeveless dress. An option for real needlewomen is to sew a sundress specially for the holiday from variegated fabric or decorate it with a floral applique. Remember the main rule - the top of the outfit must be tailored so that a thin blouse can be worn under it. From the chest or waist, the sundress should expand, and its hem should be much wider than the top and middle. On the lower edge of the product, you can make an assembly by sewing an oblique trim. Thus, you will achieve the effect of "pot-bellied" and a narrower "base" of the toy.
What other clothing is suitable for a fancy dress?
For the image of a nesting doll you will also need a white blouse. Well, if she has wide sleeves-flashlights. In fact, the matryoshka costume consists of a folk-style sundress and a blouse worn under it. You can choose any shoes, it is desirable that it is combined with the dress. Depending on the season and the temperature in the room, tights and stockings are selected - the usual plain ones will do. If the matinee is soon, and you do not have a suitable sundress, you can replace it with a lush colorful skirt and a blouse.
And on the head - a handkerchief!
If you make a doll costume with your own hands, do not forget to pick up a hat. It will be enough to tie a bright scarf on the girl’s head. Accordingly, we tie it, “like a grandmother,” by folding it into a triangle and connecting the long ends under the chin. If the performer of the role of the nesting doll has long hair, braid the braid and freely release it from under the scarf. You can complement the image with make-up - draw a blush on the cheeks - as bright as a toy, and the correct round shape, you can emphasize the eyes and lips. Matryoshka costume will suit every girl, this is a beautiful, truly Russian kind image that evokes extremely positive emotions.
