The new school year has begun. It's autumn, and many children, as well as their parents, are looking forward to autumn holidays: matinees in kindergartens, festivals in schools and many others.
In this article, we will help you quickly create an autumn look for your little or big princess with your own hands using available materials!
The leaf's outfit is bright and effective for a children's party.
Necessary materials for the “Leaf” costume for girls
To make a “Leaf” costume for a girl you will need the following materials:
- Dress (skirt with blouse, turtleneck). Clothes with prints associated with autumn will be the ideal base for a suit. If your daughter doesn’t have suitable clothes, we’ll make them ourselves! To do this you need to prepare fabric.
- Autumn colorful leaves, small cones, tree branches, rowan berries, acorns, mushrooms will help decorate the costume and make it bright and unique.
- A headband (crown, hat) will serve as the best base for a headdress.
- Beige or brown tights (to match the dress).
- Shoes or sandals.
- Tools (scissors, glue, threads, needles, cardboard, colored paper).
At your request, inexpensive jewelry and accessories for Miss Autumn can be purchased. If all the materials are collected, then we can start creating an autumn look for the young fashionista.
Advice! Since we are creating an autumn costume, red, orange, yellow, and brown shades should predominate.
What does the children's Leaf costume consist of?
The Leaf costume will consist of an autumn queen dress, a multi-colored wreath and golden shoes, as well as decorations made from autumn materials (flowers, berries, twigs, pine cones).
Step-by-step instructions for making a costume
Dress or skirt for “Leaf”
Let's start making a suit by designing the basic clothes:
We decorate the finished dress with autumn leaves. We sew multi-colored or plain maple leaves to the dress: either we cover the dress completely with leaves, or selectively along the floor of the dress.
If you have a skirt and blouse (turtleneck), then also, at your discretion, you can sew an autumn bouquet of leaves onto a turtleneck, and leave the skirt unchanged.
Important! There is no need to embellish and decorate absolutely every detail of the costume. It will look too colorful and ugly. Be careful! The main thing is not to overdo it!
If there are no ready-made clothes in the required colors and for the appropriate holiday, then we will sew them ourselves. 
A pattern is the beginning for sewing any product.
On paper we draw the shape of the back and front of the jacket. Cut it out and apply it to the fabric, secure it with pins and outline it with chalk/chalk. Attention! The pattern can be made according to the drawing, but without a collar. On each side there must be 1.5-2 cm for margin.To pattern a sweater, you will need the girth of the neck, chest and waist.
When the suit is sewn, we begin to decorate it according to the algorithm indicated above (decoration of finished clothes).
So, the basic clothes are ready!
How to make a headdress for a costume?
We can use a crown, a wreath of leaves, a headband, or a hat as a headdress. Let's look at a few examples of headdress design.
1. Wreath of leaves. For this you will need maple leaves (15-20 pcs). We take cuttings from the leaves. We stack the leaves on top of each other and secure them with cuttings.
Depending on the size of the head, we create a wreath for a real princess. Leaves of different shades will look great.
2. A rim of leaves, berries and mushrooms. To make such a headdress you need a headband, hot glue and autumn materials.
3. Hairpin with a leaf. Glue a leaf, berry or flower onto the hairpin. A beautiful hairstyle combined with an autumn accessory will look good with any suit.
Parents should remember that they are preparing a costume for their beloved princess, and must approach the production of the costume responsibly. The outfit should fit the theme, be comfortable and appropriately decorated. There is no need to exaggerate with jewelry and accessories, which can only overload the outfit and not improve it at all.
