Sometimes parents have a problem. Urgently need to make a page costume. And it doesn’t matter why you need it: for a theatrical performance or for a carnival. The only important thing is that the child should look like a page! The suit is needed today. And the production time is limited.
What do you need to cook for a page costume?
Attentive craftsmen will definitely notice one important detail. The page's costume is almost exactly the same as the prince's, if the crown is replaced with a beret. However, the heirs to the throne do not always wear a tiara on their heads. And princes in carnival costumes often crown their heads with berets.
What does a page boy's or girl's costume consist of? Indeed, often even small coquettes like to dress up in courtiers close to the royal person. So, for this outfit you will need:
- takes;
- mantle (cloak);
- collar;
- fluffy leggings;
- tight tights.
If time is very limited, you can get by with just a cape and beret.
Page Robe
So, you need to make an elegant raincoata cape to make a beautiful pageant costume. It is quite easy to make it with your own hands. It is enough to take a rectangular bedspread from a bed or sofa and skip the drawstring along the long side. It is better if it is silk or velvety.
You can, of course, buy fabric specifically for this purpose. Then there is an option to cut a semicircle, cut another one with a smaller diameter near the center of the semicircle. This will be the neck of the mantle. It makes a drawstring for a cord or satin ribbon, which is tied with a magnificent bow.
On the back of the mantle you can embroider a crown with beads. The ornament lined with a golden cord looks beautiful.
Making a beret for a page
If there is a big cloth beret in the house, it's just wonderful. Then you only need to decorate it with embroidery or a feather, and put an elastic band on the bottom edge to reduce its size.
Sometimes the beret is replaced with a wide-brimmed hat. This option is also acceptable in a carnival costume.
But if he takes it, specially sew it for the page costume with his own hands, of course, he will be more elegant. The outfit looks especially luxurious if the headpiece and robe are made from the same fabric.
A regular circle can serve as a pattern for a beret. Around the circumference, the part is assembled on a thread with a “needle forward” seam. Separately, a rim is cut out, equal in length to the volume of the head of the “page”. The strip is folded in half across, carefully ironed.
Then the rim needs to be sewn, turning it into a ring. folded onethe edge of the rim and the circumference of the part assembled on a thread are taken face to face, stitched. The second, free from the seam, edge of the rim is tucked inward due to smoothing. Now it is fixed with a secret seam. This must be done in such a way that the edges of the seam are hidden inside.
Collar
The costumes of the nobles in the past were distinguished by an abundance of lace, sequins, embroideries. The collars of the outfits looked especially luxurious.
There are four ways to make this detail beautiful: from fabric (standing), from lace, from nylon or from paper.
For a fabric collar, you need to make a pattern in the form of a trapezoid. They cut two details at once, which they cut off. Cardboard will need to be inserted between them so that the collar holds its shape. It can also be decorated with embroidery, sequins, rhinestones, or a fur trim along the edge.
You can sew a collar of lace or seam. For this, a wide strip is suitable, which is collected on a thread with a “needle forward” seam. On the front, you can sew on a button or beautiful ribbon ties for connection. The page outfit will be magnificent if you make ruffles on the sleeves from the same lace or stitching.
This manufacturing algorithm is suitable for capron collars. But if you take the ribbon long enough, then when you pull together one of its edges, assembled with a “needle forward” seam, you get something resembling a ballerina's tutu skirt. This collar looks very rich.
The last option is a paper collar. For its manufacture, many pointed cones are made from A4 album sheets. pointthe cones are cut off by 5-6 cm. Then the resulting parts are glued together with their sides. From afar, such a collar also resembles a ballet tutu skirt.
Puffy leggings: master class
This part of the outfit is optional. That is, a page without pants at all is definitely nonsense. But normal pants are fine for the outfit.
However, if the master has the skills of a tailor, then it will not be difficult for him to sew leggings for him. The main thing is that there would be enough time to make amazing, eye-catching, luxurious puffy leggings for the page costume.
You can make a pattern for them yourself.
- Lay out any pants of the future page on the newspaper and circle the details of the front and back halves at the seams.
- Cut out pattern details. To make the main pattern of the pattern, you need to slightly push them along the side seams to give future leggings splendor.
- From light satin we cut and sew the inside of the pantaloons. Stepping back a little from the bottom edge, they make a drawstring and insert a linen elastic into it. A lace frill can be sewn along the edge of the pantaloons.
- From a dark satin, cut strips 5-10 cm wide and equal to the height of the pantaloons. Then every two strips are folded face inward and sewn together. After that, the details are turned inside out.
- The edges of the strips are trimmed with golden inlays. Put them on the bottom of the pantaloons and sew on top and bottom. When the elastic is inserted at the top of the leggings, they are considered ready. When putting on panties, stripesmove apart in the middle part, between them the lower light pantaloons become visible. It looks beautiful and extravagant.
- In the same way, you can decorate the upper part of the sleeves of the page outfit.
As can be seen from the article, it is quite possible to make such a carnival costume on your own. You just need desire, accuracy and patience.
