When a girl appears in the family, the mother automatically turns into a hairdresser, stylist, designer and fashion designer for her princess. Stores are full of outfits, but it’s not always possible to find the perfect dress for a little fashionista. Either the color is wrong, then there is no suitable size, then the price tag is sky-high, or the model is too simple and boring. But all is not lost. You can create an original dress yourself using various finishing and decorative techniques.
Ways to decorate a dress for a girl
Currently, there are more than 40 types of clothing decor. Some of them require special skills, costs and materials. But even a beginner can do many techniques. Let's look at the basic techniques with which any dress will be transformed and become worthy of a real princess.
Embroidery
Volumetric embroidery is ideal for decorating a children's dress. The name of the technique speaks for itself. The decor should be voluminous. This effect is achieved using different materials: ribbons, felt, floss and even wire.
- Ribbons You can embroider the dress itself or create artificial flowers, turning them into a composition already on it.
- From felt In a short time, using scissors, a needle and thread and beads, you can create floral masterpieces.
ATTENTION! When creating a composition from felt, it is important not to overdo it with the elements, otherwise the image will become heavy.
- Embroidering with satin stitch, you can create luxurious flowers using floss and wire, sewing the latter along the contour. The elements will not only be voluminous, but also movable. You can arrange them to suit your taste.
Application
Creating an applique is a huge scope for creativity. Imagine with your child and scatter colorful scraps of fabric around the house. Choose a picture - it can be a ripe strawberry, a voluminous heart made of knitted twisted ribbons, a delicate chiffon butterfly, or a favorite cartoon character. This will make your activity even more interesting and useful.
Another plus of the applique is that it can be used to disguise a stain or hole on a little fashionista’s favorite clothes.
Lace
Lace motifs will add notes of nobility and sophistication to any young lady’s outfit. Openwork ribbons are used to trim the bottom of the dress and sleeves; guipure inserts will perfectly transform an ordinary, inconspicuous dress. They can be sewn horizontally and vertically, and individual elements can be decorated, for example, pockets, cuffs, and a belt.
ADVICE! If you have an old lace napkin lying around at home, there is a great reason to give it a second life by turning it into an amazing collar.
Drawing on fabric
You don't have to be an artist to create original designs on clothes. Some techniques are so simple that even a child can handle them.
IMPORTANT! Before applying the design, the item must be washed to prevent shrinkage and distortion of the image after dyeing.
- Use acrylic paints to create drawings. While the paint is not dry, you can sprinkle the patterns with sparkles and small rhinestones.
ATTENTION! If you squeeze streams of paint onto one half of the dress, fold it in half, and then unfold it back, you will get beautiful abstract designs.
- By tying sections of the fabric to be dyed with ropes soaked in wax, you will create unusual patterns using the knotted batik technique.
- You can change the color of a boring dress using a special dye, which is placed in the washing machine along with the clothes.
- Special reserves in tubes with sharp tips, permanent outline markers, and felt-tip pens can be used to emphasize thin and elegant lines.
- Aerosols, sprayers, stencils will help you create original compositions. Don't have a spray bottle handy? Use a toothbrush, sponge, brush, make prints with improvised means. It will turn out original and interesting.
Accessories
Beads, rhinestones, stones, sequins are a small part of what is presented in hardware stores. And if you have my mother’s old beads lying around at home, it’s just a godsend, since you can’t find them in retail outlets.
A needle, thread, a little mom's time, and the most ordinary children's dress will acquire a zest and stand out among others.
