to Wish List Embellish Chic |
| Tired of ubiquitous Tees and plain-Jane togs? Want to update that favorite jacket? Connie Long's clever clothing embellishment ideas are the only prescription you'll need to wipe out fashion ennui, no matter what your skill level. Embellished clothing is in vogue, offering an antidote to the uniforms of mass-retail fashion. With tasteful additions of beads, ribbons, and other trims, you can give those boring, see-them-everywhere clothes a unique chic. Filled with step-by-step photos, this book explains everything from beading, appliqué, and embroidery to decorative use of zipper teeth and grommets. With its many enticing photos of smartly trimmed garments, Embellish Chic is sure to spark your imagination. |  |
