It is all about COLOR! Color is emotional. Color catches the eye and can lift your mood. Colorful clothing is essential in today’s market!
The biggest color now is GREEN. Any shade of green- even neon has become a ‘basic’ for this upcoming season. Green works well with soft refined pinks and the neutral tones. Yellow remains exciting. Marigold, daffodil and always butter yellow. If you wear a lot of black you need a pop of a shocking color in at least one accessory.
Clothing should look effortless. Drapey jersey, soft gathers, and tucks that fall close to the body are great on many women. Knits are good transitional pieces and very easy to sew.
Small details that many designers agree are new looking for spring 2010. Circle cut ruffles that are inserted in seams give a soft feminine touch. Pleated ruffles on bows in surprising places give the eye a pop of interest. Cording in a seam can define the lines of a dress or break up a floral pattern. Mire floral patterns, they don’t have to even look like they together and they will!
The trench coat is a blockbuster for this spring. We love all the defining details and it can flatter any shape or size at any age. The interpretation can be traditional beige or tomato red. Pockets, epaulets, and all that top stitching make it a project worth your time.
Feathers are showing up in prints or sewn on to fabrics. Feathers everywhere you look are fresh and fashion forward.
Sleeves are detailed and made special with lace or gathers. Never let your sleeves be plain!
This season you can expand your wardrobe by sewing a few key pieces that make you feel confident, pretty, and fashionable. If you start with a color that excites, you then find a design detail that you can master. Now go forth and SEW!!!
