The festive costume will certainly be appreciated by children in kindergarten and school at the festive matinee. It consists of only two elements. This is a high cap and robe. Both details are decorated with bright, shiny stars, which gives the appearance a festive and solemn appearance.

In most versions, the cloak, cape and cap are made of dark blue, black or dark green materials. But the original stargazer costume, the photo in which will be remembered for a long time, does not necessarily have to be sewn in accordance with the standards. The main fabric can be silver or transparent. Multi-colored stars will look great on a cape. Each creator himself chooses what his masterpiece will be. If your baby loves blue or red, it is quite possible to sew a robe and cap in these colors.

The result of the work directly depends on the quality of the chosen fabric. You should purchase fabric a few days before making the stargazer costume. This will help you select all the decorative elements and discuss the style of the costume with your child. There are two options:
