Any fashionista wants to emphasize her individuality with a beautiful outfit. A black dress is a classic option that never goes out of style..
But what if such an outfit has been available for quite a long time and has already become quite boring?
It’s easy to update a boring product by decorating it yourself using one of the methods listed below.
We decorate a black plain dress with our own hands
A wide variety of materials are used for decoration. These can be ribbons, rhinestones, beads, beads, textile flowers, multi-colored lace, artificial pearls and other similar products (photo).
Brooch
A little black dress will be an excellent backdrop for your favorite jewelry. Pretty pinned graceful a brooch, shining brightly against a black background, can significantly transform even the most boring and inexpressive outfit. Jewelry with light natural stones (pink quartz, rock crystal, turquoise) refreshes the complexion well, adding softness and romance to the image.
Advice! Epaulet brooches pinned to the shoulders look good on such an outfit.
The brooch can be placed on the dress in an unusual way (for example, on a strap or on the back) so that it serves as a “story-forming” element.
Belt (belt) and bows
If the style of a black dress allows, you can decorate it with a thin strap. A belt can act as a contrasting detail that can make an outfit more expressive. A gold or silver belt will go perfectly with this dress. A black patent belt goes well with a black tunic dress.. In general, you need to select this accessory according to color and texture so that it harmonizes well with the dress.
You can use bows of the same color with the dress or other preferred shades. The material of such elements also varies. Bows made of satin, silk, lace, suede and leather are perfect for this purpose. Typically this type of decor is placed on the shoulders, straps, waist and lower back.
Advice! If you sew several small bows on the chest, you will get an original imitation of buttons.
Lace and mesh
The upper part of a formal dress in a classic style can be easily enlivened with white or black lace. This decor will look especially impressive on a floor-length dress.. Black lace attached to the hem will beautifully complement such an outfit. To create a bolder look, use red lace or other contrasting shades.
If the dress has no sleeves, you can do without sewing.It is enough to wear a thin transparent blouse made of mesh material underneath. Your usual outfit will immediately change dramatically.
Collars and cuffs
You can sew a beautiful white collar and cuffs to this outfit. This method will give the product a spectacular contrast. A modest product, complemented by cuffs and a collar, will create the image of a stylish, erudite lady.
To make an outfit in Art Nouveau style, you can attach a leather collar to it (black or colored). To create a spectacular evening dress, a black dress can be decorated with beads, beads or shimmering sequins. If you don’t want to sew anything on, you can purchase an ornament made in the shape of a collar.
Decorate with rhinestones or stones
You can also use sew-on acrylic rhinestones for decoration, decorating the neckline or neckline of the dress with them. To make it easy to sew on rhinestones, it is recommended to first attach them to the dress in the shape of the selected pattern using glue (you can use “Moment” glue for this purpose).
After the rhinestones are securely glued to the surface, for extra strength, they should be additionally sewn to the product using a needle and thread.
Fabric flowers
Making such textile decorations is quite easy. To do this, you need to cut an even circle from the fabric and lightly singe the edges so that the threads do not fall out of the flower in the future. For one flower, 4 such circles are enough. Each part must be folded in half and sewn together in the central part.
You can decorate such flowers with large beads, placing them in the center. It will take about 20 minutes to make one flower. Such decor will look very impressive and original.
Embroidery
Hand and machine embroidery can transform a boring outfit beyond recognition. This task is easy to cope with even without experience, because you can effectively decorate a dress using simple stitches.
You can embroider with beads the cuff area and décolleté area. If you embroider a similar black outfit in the collar and pockets with a gold pattern, this will make the outfit royally sophisticated.
Braid
The cuff area and neckline area can also be decorated with decorative braid, sewing it in the desired area. A braid with an openwork edge will effectively refresh the neckline. It can be sewn in a more complex way, following the curves of the body.
To create a fashionable and elegant decor You can sew a silk ribbon on the bias to decorate the neck, bottom or sleeves. You can use tape in the same tone or any preferred shade for this purpose.
Important! It is not recommended to use more than three areas on the product for such finishing.
Clear case
A small amount of transparent tulle, beautifully decorated at the shoulders, waist or on the belt, will create an elegant and fashionable look. You can still sew a transparent mesh cover for the dress, which, despite all its simplicity, can significantly change the image.
Bright and non-standard A woven lurex cape will also complement the black dress..
Shirt, blouse
With dresses of certain styles you can wear a top, white shirt or blouse. An outfit like this will always have a fresh and stylish look. You don’t have to stick exclusively to white; you can choose a product of any shade.
All colors look harmonious with a black outfit. To make the look seem as casual as possible, you can roll up the sleeves of your shirt.
Throw it over your shoulders
Very feminine and at the same time A short leather jacket will be a fashionable solution, carelessly thrown over the shoulders. A lace cardigan with a strap is perfect for a party.
Simple black sundress can be effectively decorated with an elegant lace cape. To create an elegant look, it is recommended to choose a cape made of transparent material, an elegant bolero or a boa made of natural fur.
