Photo # 2We will make the dress with pleats.We make pleats along the entire length of the newspaper, stepping back from the edge by one and a half centimeters. The width of each fold is from two to three centimeters at your discretion. We iron the folds by hand or with a cold iron. Press hard. The skirt of the dresses is made from four newspapers.Dress from newspapers. Picture №3To prevent the pleats on the skirt from coming apart, you need towaist line stitch the line. Sew the four parts of the skirt together. To make the top of the dress, you need to put a T-shirt on a mannequin or model, and use pins to gather the necessary folds and darts from newspapers. Draw the desired neckline with a marker or pencil, stitch the neckline on the machine so that the newspaper parts hold their shape. Cut off all excess with scissors. In the same way, mark the armhole line, and fix it with a machine stitch.Dress from newspapers.

Photo №5To make such a dress comfortable to put on and nottear at the first fitting, it is better to sew Velcro fasteners on the back parts, which are made in the same way as the shelf. To make the dress comfortable, we do not sew the skirt to the top. Instead, we sew Velcro to the bottom of the T-shirt and the top of the skirt. The junction of the skirt and T-shirt can be hidden and decorated with a wide, beautiful newspaper belt. To do this, you need to measure your waist and make a belt of the same length with an allowance of 20 cm, folding the newspaper three or four times for density. You can add real fittings for the belt and make holes. You can decorate such a dress with a paper flower or an origami craft. You can also add paper accessories, a handbag or a hat. So your composition will look stylish and harmonious. Wear it boldly, and you will be unsurpassed at a paper-style party! The main thing is not to get caught in the rain and do not stand by the fire. Good luck to you!
