We bring to your attention a wonderful idea for a children's holiday or an adult masquerade - the suit of Aladdin. If you are at least a little know how to sew, you will definitely get to create this outfit with your own hands.
The prince or the beggar?
Thanks to the same Disney cartoon, the whole world learned about Aladdin. Before we begin to make this character's costume for a holiday, let's briefly recall the plot of the fairy tale. Aladdin was a poor man, dressed in dirty bloomers, an old waistcoat and a funny skullcap. Thanks to his courage and intelligence, as well as the help of the magical Jinn, the young man managed to achieve the location of the beautiful princess and gain wealth. Accordingly, the outfit of the main character changes, transforming from old rags into very rich clothes. It is exactly such a suit of Aladdin the Prince that we try to do today. It consists of wide eastern pants, a shirt, a beautiful waistcoat and a special headdress.
Chalma - the "crown" of the eastern prince
The traditional hat of the noble inhabitants of the east is turban. How to make such a cap yourself? If you do not sew very well, take a thin cap that fits the size of our oriental prince and put it on the model. Choose a beautiful shiny fabric and start wrapping the foundation of the future headgear. Form beautiful folds and carefully fasten the fabric with inconspicuous stitches. The end of a piece of cloth is hidden somewhere among the folds. The costume of Aladdin will look more impressive if you decorate the cap with a large stone or a brooch consisting of several stones and a feather of an exotic bird. You can also sew a turban from one large enough piece of fabric, but in this case you will have to use a pattern and spend a little more time to work.
Trousers, waistcoat and shirt
What does the Alladin costume consist of? A photo of an approximate outfit for this fairy-tale character you can see in our article. The shirt is the easiest to buy ready - just choose not a classic option, but without a collar-rack. Also get shoes with sharp noses, twisted up. They are easy to find in any store of Indian goods. But the trousers and waistcoat will have to be sewn by yourself. How to make an Aladdin suit with your own hands? All is simple enough - on the basis of a pattern of pajama pants, create a template. The trousers should touch the floor and be strongly flared downwards. In each leg we put the elastic on the bottom edge, so do the belt. The waistcoat consists of a back part-back and two lateral identical parts. This detail of the dress performs a decorative function, it is not necessary to make the fastener. The costume of Aladdin can be supplemented with a wide shiny belt made of the same fabric as the turban. To your taste, shred the outfit with a shiny braid and sequins.
