We sew Rapunzel's dress with our own hands - step-by-step instructions

To sew a Rapunzel dress, you don't need to be an experienced sewing expert. You will need a sewing machine and basic cutting skills.First, let's prepare all the necessary materials. We will need:

1. Four meters of dense lilac material.
2. One meter of elastic. Width from 3 to 4 centimeters.
3. Lilac threads.
4. Two meters of glue web.
5. Three pairs of Velcro.
6. Five meters of pink ribbon.
7. Two meters of purple, translucent fabric.
8. Four meters of lining material.
9. Sewing machine, needles, pins.

The amount of fabric depends on the age and parameters of the girl. Let's start sewing the skirt:

• We calculate the product parameters. We measure the length from the waist to the ankles, add seven centimeters. We measure the baby’s waist, taking into account seam allowances, and multiply the waist size by two. Using the data obtained, we cut out a figure in the form of a large rectangle on the purple material. Similar rectangles should be cut out on lining and transparent fabric.
• We connect all three rectangles, using a machine we go along the edges and the side seam.
• If the sewing machine “chews” transparent fabric, you will need a glue web.
• We make a belt into which the elastic will then be threaded. To do this, we bend the upper edges of the product and make a machine seam, leaving room for the elastic. We pull it through the belt with a pin and sew it together. The sewing of the skirt is completed.

Now we need to work on the upper part of the suit. Step-by-step instructions on how to make a pattern for the top of the dress:

• A sample from which the pattern will be made will help simplify the work. It can be any T-shirt that the baby wears. It should be the right size and fit the child well. Fold it in half. We carefully outline so that the armhole matches the sample perfectly.
• The sleeve and top pattern can be made according to the golf pattern. In the original dress, the sleeves are quite puffy.Therefore, the pattern taken from children's golf should be enlarged. The sleeve should be wider and longer.
• We cut out the bodice according to the model of the T-shirt. You can create the appearance of a corset using the pointed end at the bottom. To do this, we cut the layout into semicircles on both sides.
• All that remains is to carefully cut out the parts, sew them on a machine, and trim the sleeves and hem.

Thus, we got a two-piece costume of our favorite cartoon heroine.

DIY Rapunzel costume for a girl - a simplified version

There is an easier option to make your little princess’s dream come true and make your own Rapunzel costume. To do this you need to prepare in advance:

• glue gun;
• several large rhinestones - the quantity depends on the size of the product;
• three meters of purple tape;
• one meter of pink ribbon;
• wide elastic bandage - openwork;
• seven meters of pink tulle;
• six meters of light lilac tulle;
• seven meters of purple tulle.

Now let's get started:

1. Elastic band is the base. To create an interesting image, we attach material to it, having previously cut it into strips of various widths. The openwork structure allows you to make a multi-layered full skirt.
2. We make the corset using a pink ribbon, wrapping it around the child’s chest.
3. We use purple ribbon for the straps. We thread it between the strips of pink ribbon, moving from bottom to top. We throw it from front to back and thread it through the back again. It is most convenient to do this on a baby so that the dress fits well.
4. We tie the ends of the ribbons with a bow at the bottom of the back.
5. Use a glue gun to attach the rhinestones to the surface of the skirt.

This is a master class on how to quickly and without sewing make a beautiful Rapunzel dress. It is ideal for any holiday, matinee or performance.
