Alice in Wonderland is the favorite heroine of many girls. A fairy-tale cartoon with interesting characters and bright graphics has long won the hearts of children. The girl Alice is always dressed in the same outfit. This is a blue dress with a full skirt and a white apron. She wears white tights and black sandals on her feet. Her flowing white hair is decorated with a small bow. This image remained in the memory of the little ones for a long time. Almost every little princess dreams of being in the guise of Alice, trying on her outfit and running after the white rabbit.

We won’t be able to give you an adventure through a fairy tale world, but it’s quite possible to make a costume with your own hands for a matinee. The pattern for Alice's dress is quite simple, and working on the dress does not require any special skills. It is enough to have all the necessary materials and a sewing machine on hand to sew an outfit.

Alice in Wonderland dress pattern

We begin work on the dress by taking the baby’s measurements. To do this, the child must stand up straight and straighten his back.How the product fits depends on the accuracy of the measurements taken. We need to measure:

• Length of the dress. The fairy-tale character's outfit is slightly below the knee.
• Chest height.
• Hip volume.
• Waist.
• Chest volume.

Let's move on to creating a pattern. It consists of seven parts:

1. Draw the back according to the dimensions - 1 piece.
2. Shelves – 2 elements.
3. Side parts – 2 parts.
4. Cap sleeves – 2 parts.

Particular attention should be paid to the construction of the armhole - it must fit perfectly. Otherwise, the dress will wrinkle under the armpits or sit unattractively on the chest. On all parts we leave an additional two centimeters for the seam. We cut out each element from paper along the second edge with an allowance. The patterns are ready, now you need to transfer them to the material.

Before starting work, it is advisable to prepare in advance all the materials that may be needed for the dress:

• blue material for sewing an outfit;
• scissors, threads, needles;
• pins and chalk;
• lace or tulle;
• pattern;
• sewing machine

The fabric must first be prepared for cutting. If the outfit is made of wool, it needs steam treatment. Other fabrics will require careful washing and drying. You should check the size compliance again so that the patterns can be laid out freely on the segment. To cut the material, we hide the front side inside and work with the back side. We apply the patterns one by one to the material and trace along the contours with chalk. Allow a seam allowance of two centimeters. Cut out the parts of the dress.

All that remains is to sweep away all the elements of the outfit with darts, pleats on the skirt and try it on the baby.If the product sits well, you can stitch together the parts. We carefully sew the lace to the bottom of the hem, so that it peeks out about five centimeters. To add fluffiness to your skirt, you can use a white tulle petticoat.

You can make a white apron yourself or buy a ready-made one. For the hairstyle, choose a solokha with a bow or a hoop. The colors of the hoop are brown, dark blue. We complement the look with white tights. For footwear, black ballet flats, sandals or slippers are suitable.

DIY Alice in Wonderland dress - create an image without sewing

Some parents simply don’t have time to do cutting and sewing, but it’s necessary to make a New Year’s or holiday outfit for a matinee. In this case, you can proceed as follows:

1. We buy a blue dress below the knee with a full skirt. It is desirable that it be without drawings, monophonic.
2. As an apron, we take an apron from a school uniform.
3. We buy white tights. In the warm season, you can replace them with knee socks.
4. For the hairstyle, we buy a hoop with a bow or a brown straw.
5. Add a few fairy-tale themed accessories. This could be a watch on a chain, several cards from a playing deck, small bottles of different colors.
6. We select shoes and the outfit for the matinee is ready.
