ORIGAMI MERMAID GOWN
This is how to fold an elegant mermaid gown out of just one paper.
I used the gown to dress up a standard size
fashion doll of about 30 centimeters.


Step 1:
The
Origami paper is 30x30 centimeters.
Fold in half



Step 6:
Prefold
the lower (prefolded) line to the prefolded centerline.
Step 5:
Prefold
over these two lines, use the prefolded squares pattern as guidance.
Then unfold the model.
Step 2:
Prefold
in half, then fold both edges to the prefolded centerline.
Step 4:
Prefold
in half, then prefold both edges to the centerline.

Step 3:
Fold
to the centerline, then unfold the folds of steps 2 and 3.

Step 10:
Here
a part of step 9 is done, the arrow shows where the center edge
goes.


Step 8:
Fold
the three edges (prefolded mountain-folds) against each other.
Step 9:
Fold
these (prefolded) edges upwards
Step 7:
Fold
the edges backwards over the prefolded lines, not completely
backwards yet. That's possible in steps 9 and 10

Step 16:
Fold
over these two lines.
Step 15:
Fold
this edge to the left, making the model flat again.
Step 12:
Fold
the edge downwards, the right line is already prefolded.
This will be the back of the dress.
Step 11:
Now
the model is completely flat again.
Open the upper part.
Step 14:
Fold
the upper edge downwards



Step 13:
Close
the model again


Step 17:
Fold
over these two short lines.

Step 18:
Fold
the lower edges to the inside, do the same on the backside.
Press/fold
inwards around the waist and upper legs...
DONE!

together, see marked areas.
