When choosing a style, in order to sew a Snow Maiden costume with your own hands, you can take as a basis a pattern of a robe, a skirt with a line, a dress or even a sundress, which is complemented by a transparent cape or an elegant boa.

The proposed pattern of the Snow Maiden costume is suitable for a teenage girl, and for a young girl, and for a young slender woman.

You will need:

• pastel-colored fabric (blue, pink, lilac, coffee, cream, white, light gray) with a shiny surface or silver;
• short-haired artificial light fur (you can use a material with a pile, such as velvet or velor);
• paper for building patterns;
• graphite pencil;
• ruler;
• sewing accessories;
• sewing machine.

How to sew a Snow Maiden costume?

1. We take measurements. We line up patterns of a shelf and a back, a two-seam set-in sleeve.

2. We transfer the pattern to the wrong side of the fabric folded in half. We cut out the details, adding 1.5 - 2 cm for seam allowances.

3. Tailoring of the Snow Maiden costume is carried out in the following order:

• we grind tucks on both shelves and back;
• we grind the shoulder and side seams, we overlock;
• we grind the seams of the sleeves, we overlock;
• we grind the sleeves with the base of the “fur coat”, we overlock the seams.

For a young lady, you can make the “fur coat” shorter.

4. We cut out narrow strips from a fleecy fabric with a blade. We cut the fabric from the wrong side to avoid breaking off the villi. We sew a fur trim along the sides and bottom of the "fur coat".

5. From the fabric we cut out a round hat, consisting of four equal wedges, sew the parts together and sew the fleecy edge to the finished product.

If desired, you can decorate the “fur coat” with overhead applications, embroider with rhinestones, beads, beads, lace or sequins. If you are afraid to ruin your hair, instead of a hat, you can use a light kokoshnik or sew a double ribbon from the same fabric as the suit, decorating it with decorative elements present on the “fur coat”.

Don't forget to pick up nude or white tights! The Snow Maiden costume can be supplemented with light boots, a soft muff or mittens to match the “fur coat”.

And for a little girl, you may need, which is also easy to sew with your own hands!

Santa Claus comes to us with his granddaughter - the Snow Maiden. Even if they do not enter the house, then they will certainly appear on the TV screens. And then someone in the family or from friends decides to dress up for the carnival in the costume of the Snow Maiden. He is liked by many of the fair sex. After all, a girl or even a mature lady who puts on the Snow Maiden costume looks like a queen - it is so elegant and luxurious. Indeed, a well-executed outfit can make its mistress delightfully charming, downright charming.

Options for outfits for the granddaughter of Santa Claus

There are several varieties of Snow Maiden's attire. These are the options:

• the costume of the Snow Maiden from a long fur coat "to the floor" with a hat and a fur trim;
• a short sexy fur coat with a hat or kokoshnik trimmed with fur;
• floor-length dress with lace inserts, sheer sleeves and kokoshnik.

Features of the masquerade attire of the Snow Maiden

The main elements in this outfit are sequins, rhinestones, fur, lace. Often the Snow Maiden costume includes:

• high collars trimmed with beads, beads, pearls, rhinestones and lace;
• capes with fur trim;
• mittens with embroidery and fur;
• couplings;
• transparent raincoats or long capes (for dresses).

Cape for outfit

By the way, the ability to sew this little thing is useful not only for making the Snow Maiden's New Year's costume. It looks great winter and demi-season coat with a cape. Yes, and some styles of dresses suggest this detail, both made separately and sewn into the outfit.

There are several options for sewing a cape. It can be done:

• circular "sun", with a slit in front and a neck;
• "semi-sun", from a circle with a cut out segment;
• with oblique shoulder seams;
• completely repeating the shape of the shoulders with arms down.

Capes are made from various materials. Used for sewing lace, transparent materials, knitwear, fur, the main fabric of the outfit. When making a Snow Maiden costume for a girl, it is best to use a cape pattern with oblique shoulder seams. It is recommended to sew it from the fabric of a fur coat and trim it with fur.

Cape pattern

If you wish, you can make a simply luxurious snow maiden costume with your own hands. The photo shows how great a very little girl looks in this elegant outfit. Probably, a cape plays a huge role in attire - a retro accessory that came to us from the past.

Making a pattern with beveled shoulder seams is quite simple if you carefully consider the drawing. You need to make two patterns: for the front and back.

The back half is cut out by folding the fabric in half and attaching the pattern with the vertical side to the fold of the material. The front consists of two parts. It is slightly wider than the back, as a few centimeters are given for the design of the fastener or hem. It should also be remembered that the front is always a little wider than the back of the garment.

Sewing mittens for the outfit of the Snow Maiden

Everyone remembers that, although it is warm in the festive room, it is winter outside. And the granddaughter of Santa Claus herself came to us from the northern city. Therefore, the New Year's costume of the Snow Maiden is unthinkable without such an attribute as mittens.

Making a pattern for mittens is easy. You just need to put your palm with folded fingers on the paper and circle it along the contour. When cutting, you should remember about the seams and that the palm was outlined without taking into account the volume of the hand. Therefore, you need to make about two centimeters of allowances along the entire contour.

Cut out four pieces. Two details are cut "obvious", and a pair - inside out. Sew the mittens by folding the patterns with the right sides inward. Then the blanks are turned inside out and trimmed with fur.

Making a hat for the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus

The headdresses of both characters are sewn identically. The basis of the hat is made of four “irons” - this is how tailors jokingly call the type of this pattern. And it really resembles the sole of an ironing tool.

The “iron” pattern is prepared according to the drawing, where the lower base of the part is equal to a quarter of the volume of the head. The height of the figure is equal to half the size of the head, taken between the middle of the ears through the top of the head.

In addition to the base of the cap, you need to prepare a lapel - a strip for trimming of arbitrary width and length equal to the volume of the head. You can measure the volume of the head by measuring the circumference of the head through the middle of the ears with a centimeter.

Wide sleeves in the outfit of the Snow Maiden

Airiness, some ephemeralness are given to this character by flying flowing fabrics and a magnificent cut of the robe. For example, the Snow Maiden costume, the photo of which is presented here, has luxurious wide sleeves with a wavy edge trimmed with fur. This creates the effect of fabulousness - as if a huge outlandish bird flew to the holiday from a childhood fairy tale.

It is not so difficult to cut out such sleeves. It is enough to take a pattern of an ordinary sleeve and spread the seam lines to the sides as much as the width of the fabric allows. Any edge line can also be cut. Only the hem of an uneven sleeve will now be more difficult to perform than it is done with a regular cut. You will need to use either undercut or bias trim.

Fitted coat, floor length

This is the most common costume of the Snow Maiden. The photo shows how elegant this character looks in an outfit that emphasizes the charm of a female figure.

Such a coat is usually sewn from satin fabric. Lining silk is also suitable. The color of the material is best to choose either white or blue. Although other shades of blue would be quite appropriate here.

The pattern of the Snow Maiden costume is based on the principle of a fitted long dressing gown. You can also use the clothes from the wardrobe that have been lying around unclaimed for a long time. You will need to remove the parts template from it. Most often, dressmakers simply rip open the old outfit at the seams, smooth the details with an iron - that's it. ready-made patterns for an outfit.

Short coat, straight silhouette (cut)

You can make a Snow Maiden costume for a girl without tearing open old dresses. In order to cut a short straight coat, you should build simple pattern. This option is suitable for those who need to make a Snow Maiden costume with their own hands in an extremely short time.

Of course, it is better for novice craftsmen to try to draw patterns on paper, then cut a thing from old sheets, which they decided to put on rags, sweep and try on - check the correctness of the pattern. But an experienced tailor can immediately cut on the fabric.

A rectangle is drawn with dry soap or chalk. Its length should be equal to twice the length of the product, since the shoulder seams will not grind. Line transverse fold patterns will fulfill their role.

The width of the rectangle should be equal to the width of the coat. The front will need to be cut in half lengthwise just to the center point (where the diagonals intersect). Here the neck is formed. It is deeper in the front than in the back.

The sleeves are also rectangular in shape. The fold of the fabric runs along.

Short coat, straight silhouette (tailoring)

It is recommended that you first sew cut, but not stitched, sleeves to the main rectangle. The blank will resemble a cross or a helicopter (without a tail). After that, you can stitch the side seams of the fur coat along with the seams in the sleeves. Finishing is done either with fur or white fleecy fabric. Sometimes it is also made from satin. You can use pompoms, tinsel, large buttons trimmed with fabric, a sash or a wide belt.

Fur coat "sun-flared" with a round yoke

You can quickly sew such a costume of the Snow Maiden with your own hands. The photo also demonstrates how elegant, elegant and even luxurious it can turn out.

For a coquette, cut a circle with a radius equal to the height of the chest. The yoke has a slit in front. In the center of it you need to make a neck of an arbitrary size.

The lower part is also cut in the shape of a circle. Its radius is equal to the length of the product minus the radius of the coquette. In the middle of the pattern, a concentric circle is placed, the circumference of which is equal to the girth of the body in the place where the yoke will be connected to the lower part of the outfit. You can calculate the radius of the inner circle using the formula: half the length of the girth of the body, divided by 3.14.

The yoke is trimmed with fur, embroidered. The skirt (lower part) is sewn from below to the yoke in such a way that the upper part overlaps.

Not an even hem looks very beautiful, but a figured one. The fluffy pompoms made of fur sewn to the bottom of the robe look just great.

The sleeves of this outfit can be of any style, at the request of the master.

Kokoshnik for the Snow Maiden

You can replace the hat with a beautiful kokoshnik. It is made by the most different materials. The simplest is made of cardboard and decorated with sequins, tinsel, cotton wool, foil figures, beads.

You can make a kokoshnik frame out of wire, pull white or blue lace over it and embroider it with silver threads, beads, tinsel. Nylon, chiffon or other transparent fabric would be appropriate here.

A special New Year's Eve atmosphere consists of hundreds of little things! In the early days of winter, we begin to choose presents for relatives and friends, dance to the sound of Christmas tunes, decorate apartments, classrooms and offices, prepare a wish list and dream that next year will be successful. In addition, we will have a series of parties and themed costume events, and parents will have matinees at schools and preschool institutions. So, it's time to think about a festive costume!

The indispensable characters of the New Year are Santa Claus and his granddaughter, the beautiful Snow Maiden. Can't do without them corporate events, no matinees in the houses of culture, no performances in schools or kindergartens. The role of a winter beauty is often played by educators and teachers, mothers and aunts who want to create a real fairy tale for children - and, of course, many girls want to dress up for the holiday in such a carnival costume.

By far, the easiest option on the eve of the New Year is to buy or rent a suit. However, it is not so easy to find an outfit of the right size in rental studios, and the dresses and kokoshniks that are sold in the markets and in thematic stores are not very pleasing with their uniformity. So why not make a Snow Maiden costume with your own hands, making a unique thing that fully meets your aesthetic tastes and ideas?

It is not necessary to buy a ready-made outfit - especially if you know how to sew!

And, believe me, there is nothing impossible in tailoring such an outfit! Our tips and detailed patterns will help you create a dress and headpiece in just a couple of free evenings. The main thing is to stock up on brocade or other dense fabric in blue and white, buy some white fur, arm yourself with scissors and a needle, and then let your imagination fly free! Let's look at tailoring an outfit using the example of a themed costume for a matinee.

How to make a Snow Maiden costume with your own hands?

List of materials and items needed to make the outfit:

• a piece of tulle (another light fabric is also suitable - for example, tulle, organza or georgette);
• a piece of tracing paper for building a pattern (a piece of wallpaper);
• a piece of brocade (can be replaced with another dense and elegant fabric - for example, taffeta or silk satin);
• cut faux fur white color(use silver tinsel as a substitute);
• a piece of inlay (a narrow strip of fabric for finishing cut edges);
• beads, rhinestones, sequins, beads, a piece of silver foil;
• thick cardboard;
• wire;
• glue gun or glue;
• scissors;
• blue and white threads;
• pins;
• buttons;
• rubber;
• wire cutters and pliers;
• chalk or remnant;
• blade;
• needle.

Stage 1: We sew the top dress of the Snow Maiden

The upper part of the outfit of the winter beauty has a luxurious finish, so here you have to show your imagination.

• Step 1: Transfer the pattern of the upper part of the dress for the Snow Maiden to a dense fabric - for example, brocade or silk satin. Cut out the patterns, leaving allowances for future seams (about 1 centimeter each).
• Step 2: Stitch the seams that go over the shoulders and sides of the dress. Overcast the remaining edges of the fabric.
• Step 3: Cut narrow strips from a piece of light white fur. It is best to do this from the inside out (so as not to break off the pile), marking the cut line with a pencil. Draw along the line with a sharp blade - this is how the fur is cut best.
• Step 4: Attach the prepared fur strips to the bottom of the outfit, turn the wrong side and stitch.
• Step 5: Take the cut pieces for the sleeves, fold in half so that the wrong side is on the outside, stitch and sew to the outfit.
• Step 6: Cut strips from a piece of fur that will go to the hem of the bottom of the sleeves. Sew and overcast seams.
• Step 7: Sew a large mother-of-pearl, blue or white button to the neck of the outfit. The buttonhole is made in the form of a slit with swept edges or in the form of a loop from a thin lace or piece of fabric. In the same capacity, you can use a brooch with rhinestones.
• Step 8. Print snowflakes with openwork edges of different sizes on a sheet of paper. Cut out the patterns, transfer to the foil and attach to the top dress. The rays and the central part of the snowflakes can be decorated with rhinestones, beads or beads, attaching them with glue or a glue gun.

Stage 2: We make a cape-pelerine

One of the simplest elements of the Snow Maiden's outfit is sewn according to this principle:

• Step 1: Transfer the details of the cape to a piece of tracing paper or wallpaper. Cut out the patterns, attach to the fabric, and then cut out the blanks, leaving a centimeter allowance for the seams.
• Step 2: Stitch along the edges of the neckline, leaving room for the elastic. Measure a piece of elastic, pull it through the neck, and then hem the top edge with a cut of the inlay. Try to match the color of the trim with the main color of the outfit.
• Step 3: Cut the buttonholes, overcast the edges of the slits. Sew small silver, blue or mother-of-pearl buttons on the leg to the cape.
• Step 4: Attach a few foil snowflakes to the cape, decorate with beaded and sequined patterns, beads or rhinestones.

Stage 3: We sew the bottom dress of the Snow Maiden

The manufacturing process of the lower dress consists of the following steps:

• Step 1: Measure the girl's parameters and create a pattern on tracing paper, a piece of old wallpaper. You can simply print the above figure, after adjusting it for the right dimensions. Cut out paper patterns.
• Step 2: Attach the patterns to a piece of tulle or other lightweight fabric, transfer the patterns to the fabric, tracing the borders with chalk or a bar of dry soap. Do not forget to leave centimeter allowances for seams. Cut out the blanks for the dress.
• Step 3: Fasten the halves of the future outfit, connecting the right sides inward, go through the line along one side. Sew two more pieces in the same way. Next, following this approach, connect the paired parts and sew the sides. The top edge must be tucked up and a line for the drawstring made.
• Step 4: Measure from the elastic a piece equal to the girth of the girl's chest, and insert it into the drawstring (upper stitched edge).
• Step 5: Make the straps by cutting out two strips of the same fabric. The dimensions of the strips are 5 by 40 centimeters. Sew the straps by joining the edges, then turn them right side out. Iron them to secure the shape and sew them to the dress.

Stage 4: Making the headdress

As a headdress for the Snow Maiden, a hat can act (it is made very simply) or a luxurious kokoshnik in the style of a real winter princess. The process of creating a hat looks like this:

• Step 1: Transfer the details of the cap from the wedges to tracing paper or wallpaper, cut out the patterns, attach with pins to a dense fabric. Cut out the fabric pieces.
• Step 2: Fold the wedges of the cap with the wrong side out, sew one and the second pair of wedges, fasten both blanks together, fold so that the front part is inside, and then sew. Turn the hat inside out and iron.
• Step 3: Cut a 12-13 cm diameter circle from a piece of fur, make a basting and pull off the edge to get a round pompom. Attach the pom-pom to the top of the hat, sew a fur strip along the bottom edge. Decorate the hat with beads and sequins, repeating the pattern on the cape.

Step-by-step instruction for making the kokoshnik of the Snow Maiden

Of course, a kokoshnik will look much more interesting than a hat with a pompom. Showing imagination, you can create a real design element - no worse than on the Dolce & Gabbana shows, which so often use this headpiece in their collections. Instructions for making kokoshnik:

• Step 1: Cut off a piece of wire. Measure the girl's head from the top to the ears. central part bend the wires in a steep arc, bend along the edges with your hands, and then walk with pliers. Secure the folds with stationery binders. Bend the edges of the wire so that you get a "visor" 5-6 centimeters wide. Focus on the girl’s head so that the kokoshnik sits comfortably. Fasten all folds with binders. If possible, the wire can be soldered, but it is easier to fasten all the parts by wrapping electrical tape or adhesive tape - anyway, this will not be visible under the cardboard and decor.
• Step 2: Measure out the cardboard pieces that will fill the voids in the wire frame. Cut out the cardboard and attach to the frame.
• Step 3: Cut out a piece of light fabric (you can use a cut with patterns resembling frosty patterns on the windows, or the same fabric as for the Snow Maiden's bottom dress). If the fabric is transparent and the cardboard is visible, glue silver foil on it first. Cover the frame, gluing the joints well. Decorate the kokoshnik with New Year's beads, sequins, rhinestones or mother-of-pearl pearls.
• Step 4: Measure a piece of lightweight fabric (it should loosely cover the back of the baby's head like a shower cap). Sew a tight elastic band to the bottom of the fabric so that the edges of the fabric are pulled together. Attach the workpiece to the kokoshnik at the top.
• Step 5: Make a voluminous bow out of lightweight fabric, leaving long edges. Decorate the middle with silver cloth. Attach the bow to the back of the kokoshnik.

Stage 5: Makeup of the Snow Maiden

Without the right “winter” makeup, the image of the Snow Maiden will be incomplete

An important part of the image of the Snow Maiden is thematic makeup. To create it you will need:

• voluminous white mascara (you can use the base from two-phase mascara);
• blue and silver pearl shades;
• transparent or pale pink lip gloss (glossy or with mother-of-pearl particles);
• pink blush with a light matte texture.

The process of creating makeup is very simple:

• Step 1: Apply a small amount of blue eyeshadow to the area around the eyes - as you usually do eyeliner. On the upper eyelid, the strip should be wider.
• Step 2: Apply silver shadows on the upper eyelid and blend the border between them and the blue base.
• Step 3: Coat your lashes with several coats of white mascara.
• Step 4: Apply some blush on your cheeks and blend well.
• Step 5: Apply a drop of gloss to the lips.

Complete the look with beautiful shoes or boots - and the Snow Maiden's outfit is ready!

How to sew a costume of the Snow Maiden with your own hands new year holidays The Snow Maiden costume is popular and in demand among the fair sex of any age. The Snow Maiden costume is worn to congratulate children or as a carnival costume in new year's eve. There are a lot of varieties of this costume, the proposed classic version of the outfit can be left unchanged or slightly diversified by changing the shape of the sleeves and hem. This master class describes the process of creating a classic version of the Snow Maiden costume, where a long coat of a wide style is cut. The kit includes mittens and a headdress for the image of the Snow Maiden.
How to sew a Snow Maiden costume Creating a New Year's costume is a creative process, so you need to approach the selection of materials and accessories with imagination. But in any case, for the outfit you will need:

A beautiful blue fabric with a snowy pattern or one-color (in classic version- blue, but possibly white, silver, beige, lilac, pink). It is better to find a bike-quality fabric with a ready-made embossed pattern, but if your choice fell on a plain fabric, then it will have to be decorated with high quality. The quality of the fabric is better to choose gentle, soft, but at the same time practical. For example, a bike is suitable. In total, about 3 meters of a wide canvas (1.8-2 meters wide) will be needed, if the fabric is 1-1.5 meters, then it will take about 506 meters, but a wide canvas is easier to cut.

Faux fur or any material with pile, for example, velvet, white velveteen for trimming the hem, sleeves, that is, cuffs, and shelves.

Lining is a smooth fabric, such as satin or a special thin lining material, that will slide over your clothes when putting on a suit and not gather in folds at the waist.

Elements for decoration - braid, beads, sequins, etc., which will add elegance, idleness appearance suit.

The zipper is about 1.5 meters long, we will sew it on the front shelves.

Sewing supplies such as thread, needles, scissors, measuring tape, chalk and a sewing machine.

Paper for creating patterns. If you have little experience in sewing, then it is better to first make a pattern on a transparent carbon paper, but if you are an experienced craftswoman. Then you can cut the fabric immediately, marking the desired parameters with a centimeter tape.

The creation of a costume begins with taking measurements and creating a pattern. You will need parameters such as product length, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, sleeve length and width. Please note that the outfit should be a little loose, so you need to add extra centimeters to all the parameters, with the exception of the length, here start from the height of the girl who will act as the Snow Maiden. Young ladies need a shorter coat, ladies elegant age- more authentic. If you want to make the outfit more interesting, you can cut the sleeves and hem widening down and curly.
The diagram shows that the main part of the cape has the form of a trapezoid, which slightly expands downwards. The dimensions of the front and back of the pattern are identical, but the template for the front of the suit is cut in the center to create a right and left shelf in the cut, which will connect. The sleeve is cut flared down, with a rounded ledge at the top. Such a cut will provide an even joint with the armhole and a free flare of the finished product. To come to the final result, you need to complement the cut with a stand-up collar, but it is better to make it from fur. Spread the fabric folded in half and mark half sizes from the fold line. This is how the trapezoidal cut is formed, when you connect all the marked points with lines and cut out the part, it will turn out to be evenly expanding to the right and left of the center where the fold was. Tailor and cut out each element, do not forget to make an overlap of 1 cm in the armhole area to form seams, otherwise this place will have to be taken from the base of the part and you will automatically narrow the suit. The product is assembled from the details of the back, shelves and set-in sleeves. First, the side and shoulder seams of the front and back shelves are sewn, then only the sleeves are sewn along the bottom line. After the sleeves are sewn to the main part of the outfit, and all seams, hem and shelves are processed with an overlock. It is necessary to form the seams as evenly as possible, without gathers and tightening in any places. Do not forget to match the shelves first by throwing, try on the coat, "fit" the details and seams if necessary, and only then fix all the components with the final seams. When trying on a suit, do not get carried away by narrowing it, this is a type of cape on clothes, not a tight dress.
Now we take up the connection of the front shelves with a zipper. The lock is sewn in evenly and neatly, first it is better to baste the zipper, and then go through the sewing seam.
Do not pull on the edge of the shelf when you are working on the sewing machine, otherwise you will create folds around the edge of the lock.
The next step in creating the Snow Maiden New Year's costume is fur trim. Strips of fur can be cut wide or narrow as desired. In this case, the direction of the pile must be taken into account. The fur trim is sewn along the hem, collar, sleeves and shelves. Also make a stand on the collar out of white fabric so that in the Snow Maiden costume you do not have to wear a scarf during street holiday walks.
The most creative stage of work on a costume is decoration. The outfit can be decorated with appliqués, lace, beads, beads or sequins. If your fabric did not have decorative snowflakes and patterns, then start creating these elements separately and sewing them all over the costume.
How to sew a hat and mittens for the “Snow Maiden” costume To complete the image of the Granddaughter of Santa Claus, the outfit should be supplemented with a hat and mittens. These details are sewn from the same fabric as the fur coat. For the Snow Maiden's mittens, an additional lining is required. It is easiest to draw a pattern by circling the palm and wrist. In total, you need to cut out 4 elements from the main fabric and 4 from the lining. To make the mittens look neat, first the lining along the bottom of the mittens is sewn to the main parts (the details are face to face), then, after turning, 4 parts of one mitten are sewn together. In the area of ​​​​the wrist of the mittens, it is advisable to sew in an elastic band - then they will not fall off. You can decorate mittens with fur, appliqués and other decor.
The hat is best sewn from four wedges or from a continuous strip of fabric. In the second case, 4 tucks should be sewn so that the cap tapers up.
A fur trim is sewn along the bottom of the headdress, and the cap is decorated with a pompom on top. Alternative options for the Snow Maiden's headdress are a kokoshnik or ribbon, decorated with the same decorative elements as the fur coat.
The simplest kokoshnik can be made from cardboard and decorated with foil, sparkles, tinsel, etc. But a product made of a wire frame, covered with thin cloth- chiffon, capron, lace. You can embroider such a kokoshnik with silver threads, beads, beads. The final detail of the Snow Maiden's New Year's outfit is shoes. Suitable boots, preferably light, can be picked up from your everyday wardrobe and decorated with suitable decorative elements. If there were no light boots, then take any and decorate them with snowflakes, first tighten the shoes with a synthetic winterizer.
A wonderful costume of the Snow Maiden is sewn with your own hands. More than one evening was spent on its creation, but the costume can be used from year to year, because the fashion for the carnival image of the Snow Maiden practically does not change.

Firstly, this is the most sought-after holiday costume after the fur coat of Santa Claus. Popularity is reflected in prices. Secondly, if you buy your daughter an outfit in the nearest supermarket, her classmate may come in the same one, and the holiday will be ruined. To prevent coincidences, we suggest making a Snow Maiden costume. Put in a little effort and get a unique outfit for you or your daughter!

Snow Maiden costume: traditional or modern

We are used to seeing the granddaughter of Frost in a long fur coat or a warm A-line dress with patterns and fur trim. The Snow Maiden wears white boots with heels or felt boots, a luxurious kokoshnik or a hat. Her wardrobe is dominated by blue, white and silver. Blonde hair the sorceress hides under a headdress or collects in a braid to the waist.

Classic outfits of the Snow Maiden in blue with a white trim
No blue clothes? Don't worry - the outfit can be made completely white!

In recent years, the costume of the Snow Maiden has changed. A dress or a fur coat has become tight-fitting and shortened down to the length of a “mini”, the kokoshnik is increasingly being replaced with a hat, and the pigtail with loose curls. Russian girls are looking at the image of Santa's helper, who wears a red dress or pantsuit with black belt. In general, the choice is great.

Ready-made Snow Maiden costume

It is not necessary to create an outfit from scratch. Look for an unwanted dress or set of skirts and capes, shirts or blouses. It is desirable that the clothes be blue, blue or white. Although the Snow Maiden is a winter sorceress, do not take tight clothes that will be hot. But if you are going in a fancy dress, then, of course, you need to warm up.

Perhaps you have a dress or robe that is easy to change.

Trim the hem, the ends of the sleeves and the edges of the collar with white fur or silver tinsel. You can “ennoble” the dress with a sequin pattern, openwork snowflakes, shiny pebbles. The rest of the materials will be used to decorate felt boots and mittens. For a matinee indoors, it is better to choose white shoes or ballet flats.

We make the outfit of the American Snow Maiden from a short red dress or flared trousers and sweaters with long sleeve. It is enough to sheathe the edges of the clothes with white fur, put on a wide black belt, white or black shoes. It's great if the dress has a hood. Otherwise, wear a red Santa Claus hat. Before the New Year, they are sold at every turn.

Complete the red mini-dress with a white trim and a hat - and the outfit is ready!

How to sew a Snow Maiden dress?

If you have not found clothes that would suit Frost's granddaughter, sew them yourself. From materials, choose fleece or patterned brocade in blue or white. To determine the desired length of the fabric, add the length of the sleeve to the desired length of the dress. For the trim, take a white fur with a pile. Do not forget about threads, buttons, zippers or Velcro, as well as decor - the materials should be combined with each other. Work in the usual way.

Find a suitable pattern, and if you wish, draw it yourself. Transfer the pattern to the back of the fabric, cut out and baste the details. Try them on the model. If all the elements of the suit fit well, stitch the side and shoulder seams. Mark and sew the sleeves, sew fur to the hem and sleeves, add a zipper or Velcro.

Despite all your efforts, the suit doesn't look smart? Complete it with a velvet and brocade cape. As a rule, it reaches the waist, but the length of the product depends on your choice. A short cape will fit into the outfit of a little Snow Maiden, and a long cape will replace a fur coat. Fabric consumption is two lengths of the cape plus seam allowances.

The pattern is very simple. You can apply it directly to the fabric, folded in half and fastened with pins. To make a large arc come out even, draw with strokes. For the throat, cut a semicircle with a diameter of 15 cm. If you make it narrower, the product will not fit well on your shoulders. You can gather the fabric at the neck into a drawstring and pull it off with a beautiful ribbon. Cut out the blank, tuck and stitch the sections of the cape. Decorate the hem and neck with white fur.

How to sew a Snow Maiden hat?

For sewing a headdress, use a pattern of any hat

It is advisable to make a headdress from the same fabric as the outfit. As a last resort, the patterns on the clothes and the hat should not differ much. To monophonic fit the dress an accessory with an ornament, and vice versa. The Snow Maiden's hat consists of six wedges. To calculate the size of each of them, determine the circumference of your head, add three to this number and divide the sum by six.

The height of the headgear is measured from the ear to the top of the head. Transfer the pattern to the fabric and cut out, taking into account the seam allowance. Grind wedges on a sewing machine, trim the bottom with fur or silver tinsel, sew a pom-pom to the crown. Decorate the hat to your liking.

How to make a kokoshnik of the Snow Maiden?

Decoration of the kokoshnik with beads, rhinestones and sequins

In folk tales, Frost's granddaughter wears a traditional headdress with a "snow" ornament. To create it you need:

• elastic wire;
• beautiful fabric in silver or blue;
• collar glued fabric or cardboard;
• Super glue;
• paper clips;
• at least 5-6 hours of free time.

Instruction

Measure the diameter of the head and sketch out the kokoshnik, indicating the length of the rim and top. From two pieces of wire, fold the frame of the rim, from one - the crown. Build the middle of the rim from cardboard or collar fabric. The larger its width, the better the kokoshnik holds. Attach the part to the frame over the edge, securely tightening the ends of the wire. Lubricate the structure with glue. Cut out the top of the kokoshnik from cardboard and sew it to the wire.

Creating the basis for the kokoshnik: wire frame

Glue the fabric over the back of the product, cutting out the part with allowances and wrapping them on the front side. Use paper clips for fastening. Trim the bottom of the headband with fabric cut along the bias thread. Wrap the allowances on the front side outward. On the back side fold or cut the allowances to the edge (depending on the texture of the fabric), and then glue. Glue the top of the headband and the crown with a fabric cut off to the edge.

Instructions for gluing a kokoshnik with cloth and beads

Do not be afraid to leave seams on the product: they are easy to hide under jewelry. If you did everything right, the kokoshnik is ready to wear and is firmly attached to the head. It's decor time! A plain kokoshnik can be decorated using the quilling technique, painting on fabric or ornaments from decorative pebbles and sequins. If the fabric is colorful, do not overdo it with the design. Decorate the edges of the crown and rim with Christmas beads, pebbles or satin ribbon.

Adding a kokoshnik with a tulle cap and a bow

Glue a tulle "hat" under the base, which will secure the kokoshnik on the head. On the front side, the “hat” goes on the forehead, on the back - it is going to the elastic. Sew on the back of the tie for a bow that will fit into the design of the folk headdress. The work is long and laborious, but the result is worth the effort! Instead of a kokoshnik, you can use a white headband with snowflakes glued to it, or a children's diadem sprinkled with sparkles.
