For various celebrations, girls often prefer to wear dresses with fluffy skirts. If you think crinolines and heavy petticoats are not the best option for a girl, then try to sew a fluffy model with a tutu skirt, tutu or American tulle. It's okay if you don't have a sewing machine, we will consider a variety of options.

Top

If you do not have a suitable top, crochet or knit it with any pattern you like and preferably tight. For example, pineapples, sirloin technique, individual elements of flowers or squares.

Knitted top on a dress for a girl from tulle

For a knitted top, you will need yarn, and for a skirt, a solid or multi-colored tulle, a wide mesh headband, a hook and beads for decoration.

Type the loops with a long one equal to the girth of the chest and close it in a circle. Then knit according to the pattern to the desired length. To prevent the top from slipping, sew an elastic band and make shoulder straps.

Dress with tulle skirt

  1. Cut tulle strips approximately 15 cm wide and to the desired length. In this case, keep in mind that they will be tied folded in half in length.
  2. Wear a net elastic over a book or any other item to make it easy to tie the stripes.
  3. They are attached from the bottom row, like a fringe, that is, they fold in half and the ends are pulled into a loop. The number of rows depends on the desired splendor.
  4. If you use different colors of tulle, you can combine them in any order.

If the elastic is long, then it can be decorated, for example, with flowers.

For very little girls, you can make a long skirt-dress. Pick up a belt under it and intercept it under the chest. The top can be decorated with flowers or fur. As she grows up, the girl will wear it as an independent skirt.

A tutu skirt can be made to fit. Take another elastic band and tie the ends of each tape to it.

Dresses with skirts, like those of ballerinas of different lengths and splendor, are worn by both small and adults for a special occasion and for no reason. This is the best option for the New Year, since a model with a short skirt is suitable for the image of a snowflake, and with a long one - for the Nutcracker's girlfriend, princess or queen.

Corset

Depending on the girl's age, the dress may have a corset top.

Make the usual pattern for the top, or take it from any magazine and adjust accordingly to the measurements taken from your daughter, and then model the details:

  • be sure to draw darts on the pattern;
  • emboss the notch line.

In order not to spoil the fabric, you can cut out the details of the corset on a rough fabric, and after making the necessary adjustments, sew from the main one.

  • On the back shelves, add 3 cm each for the fasteners. Cut out all parts from the lining (only without allowances on the backrest shelves) and the main fabric and sew them. Cut out a placket from the main fabric.
  • On the seams of the top of the main fabric, stitch with a regilin and cut.
  • Fold over the top and lining, matching the seams closely. Sew them.

For the corset to hold better, make straps.

Skirt

In the classic version, a tutu skirt has 12 or even 16 layers. For a simplified version, 4 layers are enough.

We need rectangular lines. The height of each layer should gradually decrease by 2.5 cm.If the top segment is 37.5 cm high, then make the second one 35 cm high.The rest can be 32.5 cm, and the last one can be 30 cm.It can be made from lining fabric, so that tulle does not inject and tear tights.

Cutting scheme for tutu skirts

As for the length, the more fluffy you want the dress, the longer the stripe should be. At least it is equal to two waist measurements. But if you have 6 layers and the skirt should be short, then splendor can be achieved due to a length of 4 meters, or even 6.

Tutu dress example

Let's get started:

  1. Cut a wide belt out of the knitted fabric.
  2. Sew the strips for the first layer together and pull them to the size of the waistband, then sew the tape at the top.
  3. Do the same with the rest of the layers.
Cut out the details

Sew all layers to the belt as shown in the figure. Thus, the skirt will be more fluffy and tighter.

It remains to sew a skirt to the corset.

With a voluminous skirt

It is quite painstaking to sew a dress with a skirt, resembling a ball, but it looks very stylish.

Lush dresses made of tulle

You can make the top classic, asymmetrical or in the form of a corset. We will not dwell on it.

For a girl with a waist girth of 38 cm and a hip girth of 40 cm, for a skirt with a height of 25 cm, you need 2.5 meters of soft tulle, half a meter of stretch fabric and an elastic band.

  1. Cut into strips approximately 10 cm wide.
  2. Cut out a 80x25 cm rectangle from the fabric and sew into a ring.
  3. Stitch a strip onto it at the bottom, stitching in the middle, while making folds. Do them more often to keep the skirt airy. At the end, close the ruffles in a ring.
  4. Press the ruffle to one side.
  5. After 1 cm, sew the second one and so on until the beginning of the skirt, leaving 5 cm for the drawstring, where you stretch the elastic.

With the help of such not cunning methods, dresses for girls from tulle are created. Sew them with pleasure and let your daughter be the brightest at the holiday.
