Good day,
The Rococo costumes were very ornate and were full of details. We add various embellishments.
BOW
To begin, we made a bow on the back of the dress. We fold the fabric to form a rectangle and we cut it. Then we sewed over, leaving the seam in the middle so that it had more volume. We also sew the sides of these but we left a bit open to give him back. Once we have it to the right side, we sew the open and we put a piece of fabric ready before in the middle.
Finally we put the bow on the back of the dress with a safety pin.
SKIRT
On the undernearth of the skirt we cut a piece of lace fabric and we sewing it. Previously it had been prepared with pins to make it equal on all sides. We sew by hand because it saw the stitch and is best done.
In addition we made some flowers to sew on the dress with different fabrics: satin, tulle and brocade.
We did it searching for information on Internet. It consisted of cut fabric in pieces of 80 cm long and depending on the size that you wanted the flower more or less wide. After we had made some stitching without knot in thread at the extreme of the strip and when it was made, you could pull and here appeared a gathered, to it did not undo we make a knot with the ends of the wires. It left a flower. As we cut the fabric it frayed, so we burn all the edges with a candle.
In the sleeves, we sewed a pearl in the center of the flower.
We also did other types. We did these drawing 6 small circles with the help of the little box, with chalk on the fabric and then cut it. With the help of a candle, we seal the edges of the circles because they do not parade. Then we fold the circle in half, and we passed the needle with a thread around the edge, stitch by passing over two-thirds Then we bend and overlap another circle, leaving a third and go without sewing seam to join the two circles. We were doing this step consecutively up to join 6 circles. We wrinkled petals, carefully pulling the thread and thus forming the flower, and then we sew it because it opens gathered. Finally we added a plastic pebble in half because it is not a gap in the middle of the flower.
All these flowers were hand sewing to the skirt of the dress.
It was a meticulous work but the result was so perfect. We put some pictures here.
See you!
