Sew Retro Patterns

posted by admin in Uncategorized

Now if you are a keen sewing or pattern blog follower, you’ll have noticed that a lot of the ladies (and the odd gent!) who write them are into vintage fashion. I guess a love of the retro look probably kick-starts your sewing skills as many original vintage finds will need a spot of mending or alteration. And it’s just a hop, skip and a jump from there to sewing your own clothes. Luckily there are vintage sewing (and knitting) patterns galore in many charity shops that make it an affordable alternative as well. Charity shops and Ebay are also a great way to find original unused fabric. Even that adorable 50’s tablecloth could be transformed into a beautiful circle skirt!

Accessories – To be or not to be

posted by admin in High Street

Accessorising is a key element when it comes to fashion. You can’t just get up and don something and expect it to match. There has got be a conscious co-ordination between what you wear and how you highlight it. Accessories just add to the overall look, they can also take away from it if you’re not careful. This season, the bare minimum is the thing. A bracelet here, an earring there, it is all about keeping it natural and simple. However, there needs to be a distinction between what should be kept bare and what should be dressed up. Let’s take a look at some of the things that fashion crazed women do.

A simple back shirt with jeans is epic – it’s comfortable, cool and just perfect for when you’re feeling too lazy. However, lagging yourself with a ten pound necklace right smack in the middle of your shirt is a strict NO. When you’re wearing something as casual as jeans and a t-shirt, be careful about accessorising as it can take away from your desired look. People who are not overdressed can seem so only by wearing a really heavy necklace or earrings. On the other hand, if you’re going to a ball and decide to go Hollywood style, it won’t really work. Those things work on TV, in reality you do need some accessories when at a formal party.

In an attempt to follow the trend, don’t wear something that you’re not comfortable with, such as nitrile gloves. It could turn out to be the cause of much ridicule if you’re not careful. For example, trying to sport really short shorts and then being embarrassed because you feel self conscious about your legs won’t do. Either be confident in what you’re wearing or just go for comfort and ease. Chances are even that work wonders.
