Making your Descendants Evie Dress
If you are feeling crafty and would like to make your own Evie dress instead of buying one, we used the pattern M6878 from McCall’s.
Evie has a metallic zipper in the front of her dress. We linked an option above, or you can use rick rack or any trim from the fabric store.
Mark the center of the bodice. Pin the trim onto the dress so it goes straight down the center. You want it to go about 2/3 of the way from the top of the dress to the waist. Sew it in place.
Add black trim to the top edge of the dress. Fold the edges of the ends under before you sew them in place for a nice clean finish. Note that the picture doesn't show the zipper in place. Make sure that you do that step before you add the black trim. The black trim hides the top of the zipper so it looks neat and professional.
The last embellishment for your DIY Descendants Evie costume is to add the rope belt. Just tie it around your child’s waist. If you are shopping in-store, it should be found by the trim. You will want to measure your Evie's waist and then buy three times the length of her waist measurement.
The final sewing step is to make the black slip. You can find a tutorial on YouTube if you’d like to make your own, or we have linked a great option above.
This dress is very cute on its own, but adding a leather jacket really takes it up a notch! Plus, depending on where you live, it can get pretty chilly on Halloween night. And it’s always a bonus when it is part of the costume.
Top off your costume with your blue wig or hair paint, tights and ankle boots and you have your very own Evie!
