Kids Girls Mary Nativity Christmas Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

You'll need a large piece of light blue fabric – about a metre and a half – for the dress, but you can always use more or less depending on your child's size. To neaten up the tabard, you can hem the edges. You can do this with a sewing machine if you have one, but for a no-sew option use something like Wonderweb hemming tape. Place the tape on the inside of the fabric, a couple of inches up from the edge. Then, fold the rough edge of the fabric so that it covers the hemming tape. You can then place a damp cloth on top and run a hot iron along the hem to bond the tape in place. Plus, find out how to make your own no-sew tutu here– and you can pair it with a white top or white leotard to complete your little one's outfit. So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, ‘Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you.’ And if your angel or fairy requires some wings, try our fab homemade wings made out of paper plates here.

Congratulations! Your child is appearing in their school Nativity play! It's a proud moment for any parent and you'll no doubt be excited to see your little one up there on the stage. Simply place the tape a few inches up from the edge and fold the fabric over. Then place a damp cloth over the top and iron to bond the tape in place. If my mum was still here she’d have been my go to as well. I must learn to use my machine, but most of the time the supermarkets are cheaper anyway.

We said that schools should ask parents to donate any costumes they don’t want. Then they have them for future years. In the past (well, last year’s nursery nativity) I’ve just gone and bought a nativity costume because I just don’t have the time to sew, find patterns, spend a fortune on material and then have it end up looking stupid. But this year N is a villager in his nativity play. If not, you can make a plain white tunic from a piece of fabric and tie it with a tinsel belt, or you could even dress your child in a long white t-shirt or white dress with some tinsel accessories.

Don't forget to give your little one a child's doll, swaddled in a blanket or towel, to serve as the baby Jesus! You’ll need: A white sheet, some gold/silver pipe cleaners or gold/silver tinsel to thread around the pipe cleaners, hot glue, a headband and a pair of wings (available from most pound shops)

How to make a tabard for a Nativity costume

For most Nativity costumes, you can get away with a tabard or a tunic to make up the base of the outfit. Christmas is coming, and that means it's time to get organised! Kids love fancy dress, and chances are, if they're not already part of the school Nativity, they might like to do it at home anyway. Thanks Ana. Amazing what you can do thinking outside the box. Although definitely easier for smaller children. No idea what I’d do next year once he’s grown a bit Of course, don't forget the crown! You can easily make a crown out of cardboard, and use some coloured tissue paper or glitzy wrapping paper to create the sparkling 'jewels'. And they'll need a present to carry for the baby Jesus; you can make this from an old cardboard box, covered in gold or shiny wrapping paper, too.

Villagers / inn keeper / shepherd – t-shirt in brown, beige, darker colours. Or if you can find one with vertical stripes, that would work for a shepherd. Yep, I tried for that first. Annoyingly we had a (too small) shepherd costume, and a king’s costume. But no go. Definitely an easy version, and cheaper.
