The vest can consist of two or one layers of dense fabric. Trim it on all sides with a bias tape cut from the same fabric. If there are pants at home that are small in length for the child, then tame them slightly so that they only cover the knees. Sew a lace of the same color at the bottom along the edge so that these ribbons hang down on the side. Striped knee socks and boots complete the look.
In such a dress, Kai will be in the first half of the tale. When he gets to the Snow Queen, the outfit should be white. You can easily make a cape by cutting it out of a circle of fabric. Cut through the radius by bending the edges into the slots on both sides, and sew at the top of the strings.
