At various celebrations, girls often prefer to wear dresses with fluffy skirts. If you think crinolines and heavy petticoats are not the best option for a girl, then try to sew a curvaceous model with a tutu skirt, tutu or an American tulle. It’s not scary if you don’t have a sewing machine, we will consider a variety of options.
Tutu dress without sewing
An airy and light holiday dress for a daughter can be made in a couple of evenings.
Top
If you do not have a suitable top, knit it with a crochet or knitting needles with any favorite and preferably dense pattern. For example, pineapples, sirloin technique, individual elements from flowers or squares.
For a knitted top, you will need yarn, and for a skirt, plain or multi-colored tulle, a wide bandage in a mesh, a hook and beads for decoration.
Loops dial long equal to the circumference of the chest and close the circle. Next, knit according to the scheme to the desired length. To prevent the top from slipping, sew on an elastic band and make straps.
Dress with a tulle skirt
- Cut strips of tulle approximately 15 cm wide and desired length. At the same time, keep in mind that they will be tied twice in length.
- Put a rubber band on a book or any other object, so that it is convenient to tie strips.
- They are attached from the bottom row, like a fringe, that is, they are folded in half and the ends are stretched into a loop. The number of rows depends on the desired splendor.
- If you use different colors of tulle, then you can combine them in any order.
If the elastic is long, then it can be decorated, for example, with flowers.
At the end of the work, trim the ends of the ribbons with scissors. Perhaps forming a train.
If you did not find a suitable elastic grid, take the usual wide one.Also cut strips of tulle and tie them tightly on an elastic band without pulling it together.
Very little girls can make a long skirt dress. Under it, pick up the belt and grab it under his chest. The top can be decorated with flowers or fur. As she grows up, the girl will wear it as an independent skirt.
Tutu skirt can be made fitted. Take one more elastic band and tie the ends of each tape to it.
- Thread the ends of the tulle tape over the elastic.
- Tie one of them into a knot, and then reinsert it into the loop.
- Make a double knot with the other end.
- Continue with the rest of the ribbons in a circle.
Of the tulle ribbons, miracles can actually be done. For example, intertwine, decorate with feathers.
Tutu dress
Dresses with skirts, like ballerinas of different lengths and pomp, are worn by both small and adults for a special occasion and without reason. This is the best option for the New Year, since a model with a short skirt is suitable for the image of a snowflake, and with a long one - for the girlfriend of the Nutcracker, princess or queen.
Corset
Depending on the age of the girl, the dress may have a corset top.
Make the usual top pattern or take it in any magazine and adjust it according to the measurements taken from your daughter, and then model the details:
- on the pattern, be sure to draw tucks;
- make the cut line embossed.
In order not to spoil the fabric, you can cut out the details of the corset on the rough fabric, and after making the necessary adjustments, sew from the main one.
- On the shelves of the back, add 3 cm for the fasteners. Remove all the details from the lining (only without allowances on the shelves of the back) and the main fabric and sew them. Remove the bar from the main fabric.
- On the seams of the top from the main fabric, sew regiline and cut it.
- Fold the top and lining, strictly combining the seams. Sew them.
To keep the corset better, make straps.
On the backrest planks, make holes for the lacing.
Skirt
In the classic version, the skirt-tutu has 12, or even 16 layers. For a simplified version, 4 layers are enough.
We need rectangular segments. The height of each layer should gradually decrease by 2.5 cm. If the upper segment is 37.5 cm high, then make the second 35 cm high. The rest can be 32.5 cm, and the last 30 cm. It can be made of lining fabric, so that tulle does not prick and tear tights.
As for the length, the more magnificent you want the dress, the longer the strip should be. At a minimum, it equals two waist sizes. But if you have 6 layers and the skirt should be short, then splendor can be achieved due to the length of 4 meters, or even 6.
Proceed:
- Open a wide belt from knitted fabric.
- Stitch the strips for the first layer together and pull them to the size of the belt, then grind the tape at the top.
- Do the same with the rest of the layers.
Sew all layers to the belt as shown. Thus, the skirt will be more magnificent and stiff.
It remains to sew a skirt to the corset.
With voluminous skirt
Pretty painstakingly sew a dress with a skirt that resembles a ball, but it looks very stylish.
You can make the top classic, asymmetrical or in the form of a corset. We will not dwell on it.
For a girl with a waist circumference of 38 cm and a hip circumference of 40 cm, a skirt with a height of 25 cm needs 2.5 meters of soft tulle, half a meter of stretch fabric and elastic.
- Cut strips approximately 10 cm wide.
- Cut a rectangle of 80x25 cm from the fabric and grind it into a ring.
- On it below, sew a strip, laying the lines in the middle, while making folds. Make them more often so that the skirt is airy. Ruffles at the end, lock in the ring.
- Iron the ruffle to one side.
- After 1 cm, sew the second one and so on until the start of the skirt, leaving 5 cm for the drawstring, where to stretch the elastic.
With the help of such tricky methods, dresses for girls from tulle are created. Sew them with pleasure and let your daughter be the brightest at the holiday.
