MODELING AND DECORATION of CLOTHES TODDLERS (TO 3 YEARS) 

Infant period (up to 1 year). In this group, including infants. A characteristic feature of the physique during this period is the large head, short neck, very short legs and relatively long arms. The value of the head of the baby is 1/4 of the whole figure. The girth of a newborn's head is approximately equal to the chest circumference, shoulder width almost equal to the poluobhvat hips. The center of the figure is the umbilicus (Fig. 370). In the first year of life the child is growing very fast.

Up to 6 - 8 months baby almost all the time in the crib.
The clothes of the baby are diapers, vests, shirts, jackets, caps, rompers, long dresses (Fig. 371). 

For reasons of hygiene, the length of the vests and blouses is very short, barely reaching to the lower abdomen. Along with the diapers and blanket they are the main child's clothing up to 5 - 6 months. When the child begins to sit independently and move around the most convenient to be sliders - garment that combines a shirt, pants, stockings and shoes.
Free form, simple cut, minimal seams, easy finish - a necessary quality baby clothes. Razumnosti clothing obespechivaet quick and easy dressing of the child.
First outerwear babies - it is lightweight, insulated and roomy enough for a sleeping bag without sleeves and coat-sleeve with a hood. Depending on the season coat-envelopes are made from different fabrics, warm quilted lining or liner of faux fur. For a cold time of hoses connected to the sleeves or cut out with them. Made casual Raglan sleeves or with cap sleeves, they can easily form the streamlined shape of clothes for the baby.
Hygienic properties of clothing infants have an especially great importance. Delicate and susceptible a baby's skin is largely fulfill the role of the respiratory and excretion. In this connection it is necessary to apply a hygroscopic, porous and lightweight knitted fabrics, cotton fabrics - muslin, cotton, madapolam, which is well wash and easy iron.
The color of the fabrics should be soft and tender, with a predominance of white and pastel colours: razbelennye pink, blue, pistachio, apricot-yellow. Saturated, bright colors are generally not acceptable in the linen range, and for infants is eliminated altogether. 
  Nursery period (1 to 3 years). During this period, the child grows more quickly (1/3 of the total growth falls to under 2 years). The body assumes a vertical position, which causes curvature of the spine and distinctive statement with deviation ago. Head is still very large and applies to the entire body length as 1 : 4,5. The neck is somewhat longer (2% of the length of the whole figure), whereby the shoulder becomes lower and wider. Abdomen rather large, convex blades. Long torso, short legs (Fig. 372, a). Feature of children in this age group is also the tender, pink skin and intense color lips and eyes.These features of the addition and the appearance of the kids cause constructive and artistic features of their clothing.

Children after a year begin to walk, and in 2 - 3 years included in a life more active: play, walk on air and very moving, although their movements are still insufficiently coordinated. So clothes for them should be more comfortable and free to stay only on the shoulder girdle. 
Closet children of this group consists only of light and top dresses: dresses, robes, sundresses, blouses, shirts, pants, onesies, aprons, jumpsuits, jackets, coats.
The main form of clothing for girls - this flared (bell shape, Fig. 372, b). This form hides the belly bulge and visually reduces the size of the head, making the figure more proportional.
The extension form should start from the shoulder and can be accomplished in two ways: from the shoulder line (one-piece shelves and back) and from the Basque line. (Fig. 372, b, C). Extended downward form can be accomplished in various cover: one-piece shelves and back with a tapered side seams, front and back, consisting of several fractional parts extended downward, forming a fabric from the line yoke assemblies, soft folds or tucks (Fig. 373).

The yoke can be of various shapes, but short. Such a division of clothing visually lengthens the lower part of the figure and balances the large size of the head. 
Clothes for boys typical boxy straight silhouette (Fig. 372, g, d). 
Pants (mostly short) have straight or slightly narrowed form. They go well with shirts, blouses and jackets, worn over trousers or tucked into pants with a chest part (Fig. 374).
When modeling clothes for a children's nursery should be possible to join pieces of clothes together. For example, modeling a coat with a hat, get very comfortable outerwear. The advantage of this solution outerwear evident when comparing the two models (Fig. 375, a). Coats, United neckline with a helmet, makes the figure lighter and more solid, reveals the child's neck. A very convenient view of the upper garment is a jumpsuit;entirely covering the child's body, it protects it from various external influences and makes the child more slim and moving (Fig. 375, 6).
For children the nursery does not always provide a difference in clothes girls and boys, as children of this age are almost identical.
