Tips For Making Your Own Snow White Costume

If you want to make a snow white costume in Australia, you should start by choosing the princes you would wish to dress as. If you do not choose snow white then this is not the right tutorial for you. You can easily make your outfit and wear it. Here are some guidelines that you can use.

 

Gather reference and choose the right fabrics

When choosing the right fabricsin Australia, you should ensure you choose safe and comfortable fabrics. Here are our suggestions: you can use ultra-suede dark blues for the corset, stretch yellow velvet skirt, ultra-suede light blue for the sleeve, cream lining for the skirt, duchess satin for the red (inside the sleeve, bow , inside the cape), stretch red velvet for the cape, white cotton for the color, double sided iron on the interface of the cape, heavy duty interfacing for the collar and trim for the color.

 

You might also need some additional items such as grommets for the corset, yellow zipper for the skirt, boning for the corset, headband, skirt hooks, shoes, red bias tape for the cape, shoes, and snaps. If you can get a yellow fabric that does not stretch then we highly recommend it.

 

For the skirt, you will need a large amount of fabric. You should use a less expensive fabric for that. This will ensure you treat yourself to a lobster dinner and an iced coffee with the money you save.

 

Corset

If you do not want to buy snow white costume in Australia, you will need the following materials for the corset. You will need lining fabric, muslin, dark blue suede. You will also need additional items such as boning, bias tape, grommets, and skirt hooks.

 

You can start off with simplicity pattern for the corset. You can also start off by making it in Muslin and try it on. If it needs modification, you should be very accurate when modifying it. You should modify it till you get the perfect fit but be careful to avoid ruining it.

 

After doing the mockup and getting the perfect fit, you should sew bias tape on. This is the best way to act as a channel for your corset boning and slide your boning in. You should then finish it off by sewing the top in to ensure it is kept in place. Now you will have your muslin corset with its boning.

 

Now you can cut out a copy in muslin, a copy in your blue fabric and a copy in the lining. Take the muslin and sew it to the blue fabric. Iron them together and sew with the longest stitch possible. Next, trim the excess muslin to close the stitch and sew all the corset pieces together.

 

It is important to sew on top of the stitch so that you cannot see it when you flip the piece over. In case you see stitches on your snow white costume, you should seam rip them off. Take your lining pieces and sew them together.
