These ordinary, it would seem, accessories, which are in the wardrobe of each of the fair sex, conceal a lot of opportunities for the manifestation of fantasy. For example, do you know that it is easy and quick to make a dress made of scarves? Meanwhile, it is the ability to make from ordinary things something special and unrepeatable that gives out the true essence of women - dreamers, inventors and coquettees. Below we will look at how to make a dress from a scarf, but this does not exhaust the possibilities of an accessory - the craftsmen make scarves and blouses, swimsuits and tops and much more - only a piece of soft silk is needed, and the manufacture does not require a single stitch.

First, you need to choose the right handkerchief. The fabric from which it is made must meet several criteria, the most important of which is the convenience of knotting. In other words, the handkerchief must be soft, thin, easily flowing. The best choice will be natural silk. In order to make a dress made of scarves, you need to select several pieces that will be combined in color, this will allow you to further combine handkerchiefs in different versions, getting unique ensembles.

When choosing a handkerchief, it must be picked up, draped, thrown over the shoulders - the fabric should be pleasant to the touch and gently flow. As for the sizes, the best for making a dress from shawls are: 110 * 140cm, 110 * 160cm, 110 * 240cm, 90 * 180cm, 90 * 220cm, 110 * 300cm. The choice of cloth depends on the shape. In the event that you want a luxurious drapery, you should choose a larger size. In addition, you should pay attention to the following points:

- the width of the fabric when draping will be the length of the dress;

- the length of the fabric should be such that the body can be wrapped at least three times with a handkerchief.

So, how to make a dress made of scarves. Several ways.

1. Initially, the length of the shawl should be adjusted to the chest and waist circumference. For this, it is necessary, as it were, to attach the edges of the handkerchief to the palms in such a way that the body is tightly covered with a cloth. (By the way, this method is applicable when buying a ready-made pareo, when selecting the right size.) Then you need to twist the resulting "tails" a little so that they can be tied up with a knot. If you use this technique, the node does not get too thick, and it looks very harmonious and balanced.

2. Surabaja. To make such a pareo you need a handkerchief the size of 120 * 120cm. The width should correspond to the volume of the carrier body. In the event that the pareo is too long, you need to roll up the top edge a little. The kerchief should be wrapped around the chest, and its ends wound behind the back - so they meet each other. Each end is drawn to the chest and knotted at the front.

3. Amboseli - dress of two scarves. First you need to put a handkerchief on the front with a size of 120 * 120cm. The upper ends of the kerchief are tied at the back of the head. Then the lower edge of the tissue is passed between the legs and rises to the waist. In order for the kerchief to fit more tightly to the body, you can slightly twist its edge.

After that, a second handkerchief 110 * 110cm is taken, which is tied at the waist behind. Then, take the left and right ends that are tied on the waist side or front.
