However, not everyone knows where to get this knowledge. For example, how to make a beautiful and fluffy dress for your beloved daughter? There may be enough reasons for this. The first and obvious one is visiting an event. A matinee, a school ball or just a photo shoot. The second reason is that your daughter will also enjoy having such a beautiful outfit. Well, the third, perhaps one of the most important - this way you can develop your own needlework skills. In this article, we will consider a popular version of a tutu skirt, which has lush shapes and is made of tulle. Such a skirt is perfect for visiting the listed events or photo shoots. Moreover, you can decorate it as you like, since multi-colored tulle and accessories are available in many stores. And you, just try and make a very beautiful dress.To perform these works we will need:

Fabric Fatine (can be multi-colored)
Gum in width from 1,8 centimeters to two centimeters. 1 meter.
Needle and Scissors

With this small amount of materials, you can begin to work.

We take measurements

Next, you need to take measurements.For a dress like "Tutu" you need to measure the waist circumference, as well as the height by length for your girl. Our optimal choice is a waist circumference of 43 centimeters and a length of 30 centimeters. Based on this, all calculations will be made.

Amount of tissue

Afterwards, we calculate how much we needyou will need fabric. For a length of 30 centimeters, you need to add another 6 centimeters, and also multiply the length indicator by two. Thus, we get 30 * 2 in the form of 60 centimeters of length and 6 centimeters of indentation for the knot. For the waist circumference, you need to understand how many stripes will be used in the skirt. For our calculations, we will need 43 stripes in the size of 66 centimeters. Simple math consists of multiplying the number of stripes by the size of the amount of fabric. Total, equals 28 meters and 38 centimeters (43 multiplied by 0.66)

We define the splendor

  Next, we need to determine the splendor of ourdresses. In this case, you will need to multiply the number from 1.3 to 2, depending on the type of splendor. In our calculations, we will get 56 meters and 76 centimeters of tulle.

Preparation of tulle

Next, we cut the required amount of fabric intocertain length parameters. For this, you can use a piece of cardboard that will have the size of the required length of the skirt. Our material is wound onto it. Be sure to count how many times your fabric is wound.

Section of tulle

When the process is complete, it is necessary to cutthe blank into two parts. Next, you need to determine the shape of the skirt. Ours will have sharp types of edges. For this, the fabric was cut along an oblique line. For a smooth dress, you will need a straight line. As a result, we get a large number of tulle stripes.

Elastic billet

Next, we work with the elastic band for the dress.In our case, we need to measure the waist circumference and subtract 6 centimeters. It turns out that in the waist circumference of 43 centimeters we get a value of 37 centimeters for the length of our elastic band. Then, we sew this elastic band.

Working with a dummy

After the operation, it is necessaryrecreate a semblance of a dress. For this, you will need a mannequin, or a semblance of a mannequin. In our case, it will be something like a child's bicycle. At this point, it is very important not to stretch the elastic. Therefore, work with it carefully.

Harmonic

Next, we work with the ties to the elastic. To do this, you need to take the fabric in your palms and then fold them accordion style for subsequent overlay.

Feeding blanks

We pass the blank through the elastic blank andwe align the bottom. Next, the material is threaded through the elastic, and the ends are aligned. Then, we apply the next layer using the number "four" method and tighten the workpiece. After that, we continue the same process. You should get beautiful and neat knots that are hidden behind the ends of the tulle. This method is reliable in that it does not allow you to untie the knots during use. At the same time, no one can see the knots. Then, we simply move the knots towards each other. You should not tie the knots too tightly, so as not to spoil the elasticity of the elastic. That's it, our fluffy skirt for the baby is completely ready.
