Its upper side should be equal to half the circumference of the chest. The length of the detail is from the chest to the floor (or to the ankle, if you do not want too long a dress).

Having made a skirt, you can start making sleeves. Details for sleeves are cut in the same wayprinciple, as the details of the skirt, but they are obtained already and shorter. The length of the part is equal to the desired length of the sleeve. The width of the finished sleeve should be 5-10 cm more than the arm circumference.

They can be made in any convenient way for youfrom any fabric - you can use organza in dress color or contrasting color, you can make them from satin or felt. In the middle of the flowers you can sew beads, rhinestones or artificial pearls. Sewing flowers to the dress, tie around them bows of long satin ribbons. The same colors can decorate shoes and hair.

Cut out a square or rectangle of fabric and fold it in half. From the wire you need to make a frame for the wings, the width and height of which will match the size of the folded piece of fabric.
Place the frame inside the folded fabric and stitch it together.edge of tulle. Mark the middle of the wings and at this point, pull the fabric to the center with a thread or ribbon in the tone of the fabric. Before sewing the fabric, make sure that it is flexible enough so that the wings can be pulled to the center! If it does not stretch well, cut out the fabric with a margin.
Ready-made wings can be sewn to the back of the dress, and you can attach in another way, for example, with a pin (it should bereliable, otherwise the pin can unfasten and prick the child). Another option is to make for the wings straps of rubber bands and put them on your back like a school backpack. You can leave the wings monophonic, and you can draw on them patterns with special colors for the fabric.
