Book Review of Embellish Chic : Detailing Ready-to-Wear

Embellish Chic : Detailing Ready-to-Wear
copiousreader avatar reviewed on


The title of this book says it all: EMBELLISH CHIC Although there are a couple of denim ideas, this book is not geared toward the jeans and T-shirt crowd; there are already plenty of those books on the market. EMBELLISH CHIC caters rather to the person who loves boutique clothing. Following the ideas/instructions in this informative book will result in beautiful and beautifully-finished clothing. I especially appreciate the author's attention to perfect detail. The very best use of this book, however, is not to copy the ideas presented, but to use them as a springboard for your own creativity.
Chapter title are: "Beads, Sequins, and Buttons"; "Trims" which include fringe, tassels, lace, ribbons and beads; "Fabrics"; "Hardware" which includes zippers, eyelets, grommets, nail heads and studs; and finally "Threads".
