Little Red Riding Hood's costume is one of those carnival outfits that you shouldn't run to the store for. You can create it yourself from outdated unnecessary things that gather dust in the closet.
clothing
For the Little Red Riding Hood costume, you will need a blouse and a skirt. When choosing these things, you should give preference to the classic combination: dark bottom - light top. This is how Little Red Riding Hood is most often drawn in books and cartoons. As for the style, the blouse can be anything. So, in the Soviet film, the heroine of Yana Poplavskaya was crocheted in a white T-shirt. But you can just as well wear a short-sleeved flashlight shirt, an unprinted T-shirt, or even a turtleneck. It is better to choose a skirt that is fluffy and not too long.
The styles "sun", "tatyanka", a simple skirt with an elastic band will fit well into the image. This is easy to sew if there is no suitable one. A black vest or a corset with lacing in the front will help to complement Little Red Riding Hood's suit. You can make an imitation of such a bodice from a dense material. It is enough to cut a trapezoid to wrap around the torso, and sew Velcro on the non-parallel sides. And in the front, make small holes and thread a thin ribbon or lace through them.
Footwear
It is best to choose dark-colored closed shoes as shoes for Little Red Riding Hood's suit. To at least "age" them a little, attach buckles cut from thick tinted cardboard or foil over the toe. You can also use real sewing accessories. A small heel is acceptable in this look.
Accessories
To make Little Red Riding Hood's look complete and complete, you need to add accessories. The main one is a basket in which the girl brought pies and a pot of butter to her grandmother. Any wicker product is suitable for a suit, for example, baskets in which ready-made bouquets of flowers are sold. You can lay a light napkin at the bottom, and put real baked goods inside on top. Or candy.
Headdress
The main attribute of Little Red Riding Hood, which makes the heroine of the fairy tale recognizable, is the headdress. If you remember that the character was invented (or borrowed from folklore) by the French writer Charles Perrault, then for the believability of the image, you can sew a cap made of red fabric. But if there is not a lot of time, then a beret, panama or even a lady's hat of the corresponding color is suitable as a hat. Sometimes you can see images of a fairy-tale girl in a bright raincoat. To do this with your own hands, it is enough to fold a rectangular piece of fabric in half and lay a seam along one side. This will be the hood. At the neck level, it is enough to collect the fabric and sew the strings.
