Book Reviews of Fine Embellishment Techniques: Classic Details for Today's Clothing
Book Review: Very WILSON PHILLIPS
Summary: 2 Stars
If anyone wanted to research early 1990's fashion for a Beverly Hills 90210/Wilson Phillips/Shanice/Alannah Myles/Milli Vanilli biographical movie, take a look at the photographs in this book. The pictures are awfully dated but the techniques are less dated. Why do designers get caught up in such non classic fabrics and colors (sandwashed silk and purple with red)? Still a useful book too if you want to set up a hippie craft stall at your local bazaar.
Summary of Fine Embellishment Techniques: Classic Details for Today's Clothing
Celebrating all that is elegant and classic about vintage clothing, this book shows how to embellish new garments to make them look as though they were crafted in a more glamorous era. Readers will learn they don't have to be experts to add embellishment techniques from the l920s, 30s, and 40s to their wardrobes. They'll discover the possibilities of adding threadwork, beading, trims, piping, and more to garments. These projects are elegant and sophisticated and especially appealing to those who like glamour but not glitz. Five categories of embellishment techniques, detailed instructions, and 70 color photographs are featured, offering design inspiration of all kinds -- from casual to evening wear.Applique Books
