Kids Girls Mary Nativity Christmas Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

First of all, you'll need to make a blue dress, tabard or tunic for Mary (whatever you want to call it!). To neaten up the dress, you can hem the edges. You can do this with a sewing machine if you have one, but for a no-sew option use some Wonderweb (also called Wundaweb), or a similar hemming tape. Place the Wonderweb on the inside of the fabric, a couple of inches up from the edge. Then, fold the rough edge of the fabric so that it covers the tape. You can then place a damp cloth on top and run a hot iron along the hem to bond the tape in place. If you've got a little Joseph or a Shepherd, you'll be pleased to know this is one of the easier costumes to rustle up! You simply need to make a plain or stripy tunic and tie it around your child's waist with a length of rope or a leather belt. Before you begin cutting the fabric, it is essential to take accurate measurements to ensure a well-fitted costume. Measure your bust, waist, hips, and arm length to determine the appropriate sizes for the dress pattern. Cutting and Sewing the Base Pieces

Follow the care instructions specific to the fabric used in your costume to clean it properly. Once clean, store the costume in a cool, dry place to prevent damage or discoloration. Repairing any Damages or Loose Threads If you notice any areas that need adjustment, such as loose stitching, uneven hems, or areas that feel too tight or too loose, make the necessary alterations to achieve a perfect fit and ensure the costume looks its best.
