Such models are very popular today. You can buy a Superman costume in many children's goods stores. Options may vary slightly. But in general, the set most often consists of a jumpsuit with a sewn-in belt and muscles, underpants, a cloak and, in some cases, a mask. Sizes are very different. Therefore, you can choose a costume for a child of any age.
Bright image
It will not be a secret to anyone that this superhero is one of the most beloved characters of many generations. Therefore, a Superman costume will surely appeal to your child. Overalls with a cloak, red shorts with a golden belt, the S logo known to everyone - all this will allow the baby not only to stand out at the holiday. Do not be surprised if he earns a prize for the best suit.
Do it yourself
By the way, if your time allows, you can do without buying a finished outfit. Making a Superman costume on your own is not at all difficult. So where to start? First of all, you need to take a blue like leotard. It is best that the sleeves and pants are long. You can replace such a suit with a shirt and spandex leggings. Such models are more than enough in stores for dancers.
However, you can get by with a simple blue suit. You just need to choose a model one size smaller so that it sits tight on the child’s body.
We make a logo
Next step. Such a carnival costume requires, of course, the manufacture of the famous logo. Everyone knows what the emblem of a superhero looks like. Draw it on cardboard or thick paper so large that it covers the baby’s chest.
After that, make three different templates for the S-logo. These are the diamond borders, the yellow diamond (a little smaller) and the letter itself. Each template is encircled on a piece of felt. To do this, use chalk for fabric or a washable pencil. All three figures are cut out. The yellow diamond is superimposed on top of a red diamond and fastened with a strong clerical or superglue. The letter S is glued on top. All three layers dry well. The letter and diamond are surrounded by a thick black marker. The position of the logo is adjustable on the leotard, after which it is sewn by hand or on a sewing machine.
Add a cloak
Next, the carnival costume is complemented by another element. In order to make a cloak, you will need about three meters of shiny red synthetic fabric. Felt can also be suitable for this purpose. The main thing is to choose a wear-resistant fabric without seams (in one piece). One meter should immediately be postponed for the manufacture of underpants.
On the remaining part, you need to measure the triangle, reaching the child to the calf. The figure of the required length is cut out. The upper part of the triangle is assembled on the neck in several places and fits on the sides and back of the collar. A raincoat is sewn by hand. Everything is ready! For completeness, the sides and bottom are hemmed by about half a centimeter.
Superman's Panties
What next? Children's Superman costume includes, of course, and underpants. Let's get started. For starters, white men's underpants with a high waist are taken. The remaining meter of red cloth is laid out on the table. Briefs are circled in white chalk and turned over so that the crotch meets the fabric, as if you are doing a mirror image. The outline is drawn from this side too.
It remains to cut the panties, fold them in half in the crotch and connect both sides together, leaving the leg openings and the upper part open. Slots are cut in front, on the back and on the sides. These will be belt loops. It is made from a piece of yellow felt, slightly larger than the waist circumference with a thickness of about four centimeters. The belt is looped and fastened with a gold buckle when the suit is worn.
The final stage - boots
And finally, the last step. Superman costume for the child is complemented by boots. First, the base is selected. It can be cowboy boots, rubber or designed for riding. The goal is to choose shoes that reach the middle of the calf.
After that, you will need a spray with bright red paint and a primer. The outer side of the boots will be coated last. As soon as it dries (after about a day), a layer of red paint is applied to the shoes. Next, you need to wait another day. You may need two coats of paint to make your boots look brighter.
That's all! The costume is ready! In a word, it's up to you to decide whether you will do it yourself or buy it ready-made at the store. In any case, your baby will be irresistible!
