And soooo... I actually started sewing. I started sewing Cinderella's dress. Or rather, petticoats for Cinderella's dress.
Bobbins of fabric for dresses began to be purchased from wholesalers and retail... All kinds of... Different fabric, different colors, different thicknesses, different textures...
And as the dress developed, grew and took on its shape, more and more ideas appeared..
and the more my life changed.. When it began to appear, I was going through a difficult period, and it went through the most different facets of my life and was created in different periods.. And as it turned out, it was truly magical and fateful.
And the more the dress grew and took on shape. The more ideas I had and the more my life changed... It went through a difficult period with me and moved to another city.. And strangely enough. It didn’t get abandoned or wither like many unfinished creative ideas and projects... And the fuller and more interesting my life became, the more magical this dress became...
In order for everything to turn out really beautiful and to be like in a film, I watched this film every day for several months, sometimes several times, so I don’t even know the total number of views... I analyzed some parts of the film frame by frame on slow rewind and screenshotted them. ... to understand all the movements of Cinderella, the dress... to see all the layers of the dress, their order and color. Naturally, the entire Internet was searched in all languages to find all the pictures, behind-the-scenes, all the interviews and everything related to the film. It sounds like fanaticism from the movie X))), but I just tried with all my might to understand what and how this dress was made, although initially I didn’t pay attention to it special attention.. The education of a restorer-reconstructor played its role - to get to the bottom of all the details.
When I started sewing petticoats, at first they weren’t big or fluffy, but the higher the petticoat, the more fluffy it was, the more branches it had. Not all petticoats are presented here, only those that I remembered photographing))
Then endless flounces began to be sewn.... the entire floor was littered with endless ribbons of fabric...
Cinderella's dress consists of many fabrics and layers.. They are all different colors and textures, each layer of skirts is a different color and different shape.Each petticoat has multiple layers of flounce sewn into the hem to create a layered effect without adding extra weight. The higher the skirt, the more layers of flounces.
It took a lot of time to create this pile of petticoats, but they were simply necessary to create the desired shape of the dress. The petticoats turned out to be very fluffy and at the same time quite heavy. From below, they completely absorbed the crinolet and it was not visible, it felt like the dress was holding its shape only due to full skirts and there is no hoop plane there) So, in principle, I achieved exactly what I wanted.
Master class for the most patient mothers! Dress for Cinderella
Every girl dreams of being a fairy princess. And every mother makes her childhood dreams come true in clothes for her daughter.
The technology of sewing a dress for a little princess will help turn dreams into reality. Looking at a girl in a dress with a huge number of flounces, the first question that arises is, how is this done? So let's start with the most interesting thing, with the highlight of this dress - the skirt.
Materials
Organza - 7.00 m with a width of 3.00 m.
Elegant dress fabric for a 6-blade skirt. The amount depends on the child’s age, height and fullness. Calculate the fabric consumption according to the pattern yourself.
We are building a six-piece skirt. Something like this! FROM:6+2 for assembly
For a girl, Height = 116 cm, OG = 57 cm, OT = 55 cm, the dimensions of one wedge are as follows: top arc length 16 cm, bottom arc length 68 cm, length = 70 cm.
Ruffles will be sewn to each wedge of the skirt.
In the drawings, the lines and the corresponding shuttlecocks are indicated different colors to make the material as clear as possible.
One wedge needs to be drawn in accordance with the drawing. Draw a green line 9 cm from the bottom of the skirt. Horizontal lower flounces are sewn to the green line. In further drawings they will be called green shuttlecocks.
Draw 15 radial lines on one wedge, starting from the green line. Reduce 8 lines by moving 16 cm from the top of the wedge (red lines). Draw the remaining lines in blue.
Vertical flounces will be sewn to the blue and red lines. In the future they will be called blue and red shuttlecocks.
If you want to make the number of shuttlecocks less than on the original, divide the wedge into fewer segments. Or make the wedge itself smaller at the bottom and reduce the number of lines for sewing on the flounces.
CONSTRUCTION OF SHUTTERS:
Shuttlecocks are circles with different inner radii. The width of all shuttlecocks is the same - 10 cm. The circle must be cut in one place along the shared thread. The flounce is sewn onto the inner line of the circle.
Circumference of inner circle = length of corresponding line.
. Measure the red line on the wedge drawing; this is the length of the shuttlecock's inner circumference.
We calculate it using the formula CIRCLE LENGTH= 2пR, Where n=3.14, from here 6R=line length,Means
R= Line length:6
Calculate the inner radius of the red shuttlecock. The outer radius will be 10 cm larger. One red shuttlecock is sewn onto one red line.
. Measure the blue line on the drawing. Divide the result by 2. This will be the length of the inner circumference of the blue shuttlecock. Calculate the radius. Blue flounces are joined together in twos, and two joined flounces are sewn onto one blue line.
. Measure the green line on the drawing, divide by two. This will be the circumference of the green shuttlecock. Calculate the inner radius. The green flounces are all joined together and sewn onto the green line after the skirt is sewn and all the vertical flounces are sewn onto it.
. Cut 6 skirt wedges. Sew a skirt.
Hem the skirt using a narrow straight stitch.
Cut out all the flounces. In total you will get: blue shuttlecocks - 96, red - 48, green - 12. Join two blue shuttlecocks into one. Dock all the green shuttlecocks together. Finish the outer edges of the flounces with a rolled seam on an overlocker. Use a regular overlock stitch to finish the inner arcs of the flounces.
When processing, fold the flounces in separate piles so as not to get confused later on which line to sew them on. Make notes on the piles: blue, red, green.
We pin along the markings and adjust.
Sew all vertical flounces to their corresponding lines. After this, sew a strip of ruffles to the green horizontal line.
Since the sewing lines are different in size, the radii of the flounces are different.
Therefore, I calculated the internal radii of the flounces depending on the length of the line to which they will be sewn.
Construction of the bodice. Like that!
Materials
Dress fabric 0.3 - 0.8 m with a width of 1.40 m. Fabric consumption depends on the age of the child. For size 116 it took 0.3 m.
. Lining fabric for a dress bodice 0.5 m with a width of 1.40 m.
. Guipure fabric with clearly legible fragments or individual embroidered fragments.
Regilin or spiral bones - 4 pcs: 2x20 cm, 2x16.5 cm in the side and reliefs of the shelf, 4 plastic bones in the bar with eyelets of 14 cm.
Paints for touching up fragments, if you haven’t found them suitable color fabric, zipper, eyelets, lace, beads, crystals.
Bodice assembly technology
. Duplicate the details of the bodice with woven adhesive.
. Sew the bodice details. Naturally, for a child, the dress is made to grow, so do not forget to allow allowance under the lacing. In this model it is 7 cm in total for both halves.
. Cut out fragments from guipure fabric.

DIY princess costume: instructions
Bodice
1. In order not to be mistaken with the size, take your daughter’s blouse and, placing it on paper, make a pattern for the top of the dress.
2. Place the pattern on the blue velvet folded in half and cut out the bodice. Don't forget to leave 2 cm allowances on all sides.
3. The back of the bodice of the princess costume consists of 2 parts. They should be identical to the front, only leave a 2 cm allowance in the middle to create a fastener. And the back neckline should be a little less deep.
4. Draw a trapezoid on the wrong side of the silver fabric. Dimensions are approximate. Its upper part should be equal to the width of the cutout. Height - the length of the front. The base is slightly wider than the top (up to your preference). Allowances are 1 cm on each side. Cut out the piece and use pins to attach it to the front piece, tucking in the seam allowances.
5. Sew on the silver insert using a sewing machine.
6. Give the neckline a rounded shape.
7. Decorate the middle of the bodice of the Cinderella costume with decorative braid. First, zigzag in one direction.
8. Then in the other direction.
9. Now trim the sides of the silver insert with braid.
10. Let's move on to working with the back parts. Fold the inner edges over 2 times and stitch.
11. Place 2 back pieces onto the front piece. Match the sides and shoulders (don't forget the overlap for the fastener).
12. Cut the Velcro into 4 equal pieces. Sew 3 pieces of Velcro at equal intervals to the front side of the left shelf. Sew the other side of the Velcro onto the wrong side of the right shelf.
13. Align the parts, placing the right sides together. Sew shoulder seams.
14. Sew the sides.
Sleeves
1. Copy the sleeve pattern onto paper. The base of the part must be at least 12 cm. By increasing the steepness of the edge, you can make the sleeve more magnificent.
2. From white satin, cut out 2 sleeve pieces for Cinderella’s costume, as well as 2 identical rectangles measuring 7.5 x 24 cm.
3. Fold the rectangles in half, right side out, and iron.
4. Place the sleeve on the raw side of the rectangle. Gathering the sleeve evenly in the middle, pin the pieces together.
5. Stitch. Finish the edge with a zigzag. Do the same with the 2nd sleeve.
6. Iron the pieces by folding the cuffs down. The result should match the photo.
7. Fold the sleeves in half and sew an inner seam.
8. Turn the bodice and sleeve parts inside out and pin them together.
9. Use a sewing machine to sew the seams.
10. Finish the edges with a zigzag stitch. Trim off any excess threads.
Neck
1. Turn the bodice right side out.
2. Cut a strip of blue velvet 3 cm wide, approximately equal to the circumference of the neckline. Fold it in half.
3. Sew the ribbon to the front of the cutout.
4. Fold the ribbon inward and stitch so that there is a neat stitch on the front side along the contour of the neckline.
5. Shorten, fold and hem the parts of the ribbon that extend beyond the edges of the neckline.
Petals
1. How can you sew a princess costume with your own hands and leave it without beautiful petals on the sides? Cut a square with a side of 60 cm from white satin.
2. Shape it into a circle.
3. Fold the circle in half. Sew along the rounded side, leaving a small hole. Through it, turn the part right side out. Carefully sew up the hole.
4. Place a basting stitch along the straight side at a distance of 0.5 cm from the edge.
5. Pull the thread and gather the petal.
6. Place it on the side of the bodice so that half of the petal is in front and half in back. Pin the second petal.
7. Sew the petals and finish the edge.
Skirt
1. From blue satin, cut out 2 identical rectangles measuring 110 x 65 cm.
2. Sew the pieces together by connecting the smaller sides. Finish the edge with a zigzag.
3. Place a basting thread along the top edge. Pull the end and gather the skirt, evenly distributing the pleats.
4. Place the skirt of the Cinderella costume against the bodice (right side to right side). Secure the parts with pins.
5. Sew the seam and finish with a zigzag stitch.
6. Turn the dress right side out. It's ready.
Accessories
Headband
1. Make 2 identical parts from blue satin. Measure the circumference of your child's head. The length of each part should be 2/3 of the length of the head. It should widen a little in the middle. Cut out 2 more pieces of the same shape from non-woven fabric. But they should be a little smaller.
2. Using an iron, connect the satin and non-woven parts.
3. Trim the corners of the blue fabric.
4. Place the pieces together, matching the satin sides. Topstitch, leaving only one narrow side unstitched.
5. Turn the bezel to the right side using a pencil.
6. Straighten the part and iron it. Sew up the open edge.
7. Sew an elastic band to the ends of the headband. The headband is ready.
Fingerless gloves
1. Having measured the girl’s hand, cut out 2 parts that widen at the top. Don't forget about allowances. Gloves may be slightly larger than the diameter of the handles. Cut the lower part at an acute angle.
2. Carefully finish the edges without stretching the fabric.
3. Sew an elastic loop to the sharp corner.
4. Use a pin to thread the elastic into the hem of the top. Pull it slightly so as not to pinch the handle and secure it at the edges.
5. Fold the pieces in half lengthwise and sew a seam. Do the 2nd part in the same way. Turn right side out. The gloves are ready.
Necklace
1. Measure your baby's neck circumference. Cut a piece satin ribbon the same length plus 3 cm.
