New Year costume of Little Red Riding Hood

The children's costume of the Little Red Riding Hood consists of a blouse, a skirt, a corsage, an apron, shoes, a wicker basket and, of course, hats or caps with a red hood. That's just the manufacture of a cape or cap is usually the main difficulty in making a costume, because the rest of its elements can easily be bought in the store.

Usually the costume of Little Red Riding Hood consists of a lush red skirt and a white blouse. The skirt is best made from red satin, the sun skirt is perfect.: it's easy to cut and sew, in addition, suchthe skirts are rather magnificent. In order for the skirt to be more lush and keep the shape, it should be placed on a tulle of white tulle, which will look out from under the skirt for a centimeter or two.

Blouse is needed white, the blouse with wide long sleeves collected at the wrist, or with short sleeves-lanterns is best suited. On top of the blouse is put on black lace corsage. It is fairly simple to make a rectangular piece of dense black fabric.

Lacing is done from the front and should be loose enough for the child to feel comfortable. For the corsage to sit better, you can make a dart. If you are afraid that the corsage will fall off, you can sew a strap to it or use a black waistcoat instead of a corsage.

Also do not forget purchase or sew a white apron. By the way, it is quite easy to make an apron: It is necessary to cut a half-oval from a white fabric, to process its edges and to sew up strings. If desired, you can decorate the apron with embroidery, lace, flounces, braid, so that it looks more elegant.

However, the most important element of the Red Riding Hood costume, which ensures recognition is, of course, the same cap. In the fairy tale of Charles Perrault, Little Red Riding Hood wore a chaperone - a kind of cape with a hood (in French, the tale is called - LePetit Chaperon Rouge, "the little red chaperone"). You can make such an "authentic" cape-hood, or you can make a cap in the form of a cap or the kind that was worn by Jan Poplavskaya in the film "About the Red Riding Hood".

The easiest way to make a bonnet. You need to cut a circle of red cloth suchthe same shade, as well as the fabric of the skirt. The diameter of it will depend on the circumference of the baby's head, and it is also necessary to leave about seven centimeters for the frill (see pattern of the pattern). Handle the edges of the fabric in any suitable way (you can, for example, sew lace to them) and collect the cap on the rubber band on the dotted line.

Chepchik must always try on make sure that the elastic band is not too tight: you do not want your daughter's matineewas hopelessly spoiled by an attack of headache from an uncomfortable cap. Instead of a rubber band, you can insert a red ribbon so that if desired, you can easily adjust how much it is tightened.

If you want to achieve similarity with the heroine of the fairy tale by Charles Perrault, but do not dare to try to sew a cape with a hood, you can use combination of cap and cape. For a pelerine, take the same red fabric as for a cap or skirt.

For the manufacture of pelerine, you can use a pattern of a skirt-half-sunny. The diameter of the inner circle (where the skirt isis the waist) will depend on the desired width of the neck, the outer - on the length of the cape. After cutting out the cape, treat the edges of the fabric and sew the strings. If desired, you can decorate the cape with embroidery, ruffles, lace, etc.
