This book shows how to bring couture style to your wardrobe by adding eye-catching detail to your clothes and accessories. After decades of minimalism, decorative detailing is again popular. This book shows how to bring couture style to your wardrobe by adding eye-catching detail to your clothes and accessories. Adding detail is a very effective way to emphasise the features of any garment, and is also a means of reflecting individual personality and style. In this fabulous collection of step-by-step designs, both subtle additions as well as more flamboyant items are shown. There are plenty of ideas to inspire - and some of the projects don't even require the use of a needle and thread. The focus of each of the five chapters varies, from beads and sequins and ribbon and lace, to patches and scraps and flowers and leaves. Each chapter contains six step-by-step projects for embellishing clothing, followed by a double-page spread of ideas for accessories. There are projects for making a corsage to pin to a jacket, attaching ribbons to the edge of a cardigan, beaded motifs to a sweater, or diamanté studs to jeans. Using basic items that are readily available and inexpensive to buy, these ideas will make individual, must-have items to help the wearer stand out from the crowd.
