Sequin dress

I've never worked with sequin fabrics before and an opportunity came to experiment with it. First I googled how to cut and sew the fabric. It required to use needle for denim, but even that broke when I tried to stitch over bigger sequin black belt. 
The main difficulty is that you cannot draw with chalk on any side of the fabric, so placing the darts was a problem.
Another issue was you have to trim the sequins inside the darts, otherwise it will be bulky on it's places. Since you've trimmed them there is no way back, unlike with other fabrics. So be careful.

How to wear print in 2012

It can be very overwhelming to wear the busy prints from head to toe. Believe me it's not easy to design patterned garment neither. But the trend is there and consider it for Fall 2012-2013 as well, so better learn it and own it.
If you have got too girly pattern like small flowers, try to add tough accents like body harness, belt and etc. Or revamp old garment with panels of monochromatic fabric/ leather, piping or zipper to add sporty effect.

 
Experiment it by pairing with :
- boyish garments like shirt and jacket (Altuzarra, Erdem), denim shirt, oversized T-shirt
- dominatrix pieces like leather skirt (Prada)
- add some metal shine (Iceberg)
- always looks sweet with stripes and other graphic prints (colorful print and achromatic graphics or vice versa)

Another trend of the season is to wear the same print all over or pajama trend.

Choose the modern prints like panoramic views, interior, wallpaper, space, tropical paradise or underworld.

As you see printed trousers and jeans are dominating and, yes, it's a huge trend in the summer! I am wishing for Wallis version in animal print :-<

 Hopefully I will find similar print in fabric and make my own.
