Little Mermaids / Male sirene, kostim za maškare

Ovo su moje sirene, snimljene prije 10tak godina.

Taj dan je padala kiša, oko njih je sve mokro, kao da su izašle iz mora :)

These are my mermaids,

photos were taken some

10 yrs ago.

It was raining that day, everything around them was wet, it looks they just  came out from  the sea :)

Mala sirena je bila naša inspiracija. Evo kako smo je napravili:

The Little Mermaid was our inspiration. And here is how we made this costume:

Nemam tutorial, ali mislim da ne bi trebalo biti većih problema; za materijal sam koristila najlone iz dućana i vreće za smeće. Odlučila sam se za najlon jer sam htjela postići "mokar" izgled.

 Izrezala sam trake sa "kapicama" od tamnijeg i svijetlije plavog najlona, posložila trake i šila šivaćom mašinom kako sam gore nacrtala, jednu trakicu za drugu. Konac se vidi samo na najgornjoj traci, a sav ostali je skriven ispod kapica /ljuski. Kad sam našila dovoljno redova, iskrojila sam (prema slici) i sašila. Donji dio sam ostavila nesašiven, da cure mogu koračati.

Rep sam iskrojila od kartona, presvukla ga istim najlonom, i zaljepila za stražnu stranu "haljine".

U struk sam stavila lastik. Uopće nije problem, je li tako? 

I don't have a tutorial, but I belive there should be no problem making this costume. I used plastic bags (the one you get in the store when you are buying groceries) and some garbage bags, in two different sheades of blue. I decided to use that, because I wanted some "wet" look.

I cut the stripes just like I drew on the picture, trying to imitate fish scales, and sewed it with sewing mashine, one by one to each other. You can see the tread only on the first stripe, the others are hidden below the scales. When I got enough of material, I cut it in the shape I drew on the picture and sewed it like a skirt. I left the bottom unsewed, so girls could walk normally.

Fish tail - I used the cardboard for its shape, covered it with the plastic bag and glued it to the back of the skirt.

I put some elastic band in the waist line, and that was it! No problem at all!

A za grudnjak, uzela sam isto najlon, presavinila ga u lepezu, škarama ga malo formirala u polukrug i dobila nešto slično školjci. To sam ručno prišila za majcu.

Perike sam kupila, to je curama bio najdraži dio kostima!

U dućanu sam kupila dvije morske zvijezde (iz južnih mora, nisu naše), prefarbala ih temperom i zaljepila plastikom za češljić. To nam je bio "morski" ukras za kosu, baš za sirene :)

And, for the bra, I used the plastic bag again, folded it like a fan, cut the egdes a little bit to get a shape like a shell. I hand stitched it to the shirt.

I purchased the wigs, girls looved them, their favorite part of the costume!

I also bought two sea stars, painted them and glued them to the little comb for the hair. It was just something that any mermaid would wear :)

 

Ja sam bila u starom izdanju jer smo tu već čekali još jedno dijete koje treba obući za mašakare, taman mi je dobro došlo što sam ga onda onako naširoko skrojila ;)
