The Indian costume is useful for a children's holiday, themed party. In it you can practice dancing and feel like a plastic oriental girl.
In India, there are several options for national dress. The most famous attire of women is the sari. It is a piece of fabric that is wrapped around the body. Beforehand, the girl puts on a petticoat and a blouse called a choli.
The upper part of the garment fits the body well enough, do not forget to take this into account when cutting. Choli consists of several parts. First, remove the shelf pattern. Tucking effect will help to achieve a dart. They are present not only on the side of the chest, but also below. There is also a dart at the bottom and on the back. Both of these parts are one-piece. No clasp or placket required as this blouse slides over your head. The neckline is large so it can be done easily.
The blouse is short, usually it only covers the chest or is 5-7 cm longer.
In addition to these details, you need to cut out 2 sleeves, they are short. Now fold the shelf and backrest facing each other, sew the shoulder seams and sidewalls. Sew each sleeve by joining the left and right halves. Sew sleeves into matching armholes.
Treat the neck with a bias tape. To do this, use a ready-made or cut a strip along the transverse thread or diagonally of the fabric, the length of which is equal to the circumference of the collar of the blouse, and the width is 3 cm. Fold 5 mm inside out on both sides of the tape. Iron it and fold it in half in the same direction, also go through the iron. Attach the workpiece to the neckline so that the edge of the neckline coincides with the center fold of the tape on the wrong side. Baste on your arms, and then stitch on the tape on the front side. Fold the edge of the sleeve 2 times to the wrong side, stitch.
Traditionally, for a sari, a fabric with a width of 1, 2 meters and a length of 5-9 meters is used. If you are sewing it for a child, these parameters should be such as to wrap the canvas twice around the girl. If a woman creates an outfit for herself, she should also be guided by this. Here's how to put it on: take it by the upper left end of the canvas, apply it to the center of the abdomen. Then they stretch it from the left to the right thigh, wrap the thighs again, making several folds 10-15 cm deep. After that, pass the canvas up through the right chest and throw it back over the left shoulder. This is how you can do it with a centimeter, intercepting it to find out exactly how much material you need.
Take a piece of silk or cotton fabric of the intended length and width. Sew on all sides of the front wide tape, the saree is ready.
You can decorate the sleeves of a blouse with the same decorative ribbon.
The third element of a female Indian costume is a skirt. It is 4-5 cm shorter than the sari and is sewn like an ordinary half-sun-bite. A belt is sewn onto it from above, into which a lace is inserted. When the skirt is on, it is tightened and tied to the size of the waist.
Do not forget about jewelry, there are not many of them in this outfit. Tie a monisto around your neck, decorate your hands with bracelets that can be worn on your legs. Put on your feet in sandals, draw a bindi dot between the eyebrows and you can shine in a new look.
