New time gives us new idols, and today Winx fairies are very popular among girls. Before the New Year holidays, store shelves are filled with costumes of characters from the cartoon of the same name. But there are carnival images that are out of time, such as Snowflakes and Malvinas.

Let's make Malvina's outfit with our own hands. What is the costume made of? Malvina is a girl with blue hair, so the main element of the carnival costume is a blue or blue wig. Also necessary elements of the costume is an elegant dress, a large bow on the head and pantaloons.

If your daughter's wardrobe has a beautiful elegant pastel-colored dress, then Malvina's costume is almost ready. If not, then the dress must be bought or sewn.

If you sew a dress of chiffon and jacquard satin of the same color, then Malvina's carnival costume will be very delicate and airy. The top of the dress is cut out of the satin. For a pattern, you can use a T-shirt that fits well on the child: put it on the fabric, circle it, add allowances for the seams, cut it out and stitch it. Insert a hidden zipper on the back. The skirt of the dress consists of three tiers of chiffon frills. The frills should be made double, with a difference of two centimeters. Mostthe bottom row of frills should be of such length that pantaloons can be seen, approximately to the knee. The next frills are shorter by five and ten centimeters. We cut out strips of fabric from chiffon along the oblique, the longer, the more magnificent the dress will be. On the bottom of the frill we process with a “zigzag” seam, on the top - we pick it up to the required width. Sew to the top of the dress. Sleeves can be of two types: "lanterns" or "wings". For "wings" you need to cut an oval from chiffon, bend it in half and sew it to the dress, laying folds. Sleeves - "lanterns" are cut out very wide, and then gathered along the arm five centimeters from the edge.

Now you need to sew pantaloons that will complement Malvina's costume. To build a pattern, you can use elongated wide shorts, insert elastic bands into the belt and along the bottom of the legs. Legs can be decorated with ruffles or lace. From under the dress, the pantaloons should peek out about 15 centimeters.

Malvina's costume needs to be decorated with a wide bow belt. To do this, cut out a strip of 150 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide from satin fabric, fold it in half with the front side inward and stitch it, leaving an unsewn place for eversion. Then turn the belt inside out, iron it and sew the hole.

What is Malvina's costume without a blue hairstyle? You can buy blue artificial hair in the store, or you can make your own wig from colored paper. As a basis, we will use either a frame made of elastic cardboard, or a light knitted hat,which leaves the forehead open. We take thin sheets of paper about 30 centimeters wide and cut them into centimeter strips, not reaching the edge of the sheet. Then we curl these strips with a pencil, sharp scissors or a curling iron. We sew or glue curls to the base, forming Malvina's hairstyle. We tie a magnificent bow and with the help of invisible we attach it to the wig. Malvina's costume is ready.
