Once upon a time, embroidery was only seen on hand-crafted clothing.
Indeed, it was frequently the distinguishing feature of couture clothing or very pricey designer pieces.
Along with other embellishment like beading, it separated the mass-market ‘sheep’ from the ‘haute’ goats in fashion terms because such luxe embellishment was rarely available on mass-market clothing.
But that is no longer the case. Today, clever machines linked to even cleverer computers can create embroidered fabric of all kinds bringing embroidery to pieces which are affordable for those of us who don’t have a budget for couture clothing or dressmakers.
It started with jeans a few seasons ago, when flowers and leaves began spilling down the legs of the hottest jeans. And now it’s everywhere. For this season, for Spring/Summer 17, embroidered details are definitely the embellishment of choice, with pretty and intricate stitching appearing over dresses, skirts, jeans, tops, and even handbags and shoes. In fact, anything else you can think of. At SoSensational, we all love embroidery. Here are some of our favourite pieces:
