Normally sequins on a top make me nervous. More times than not, designers go overboard with sequins, making the outfit look like something only Las Vegas show girls should wear. That being said, occasionally you can find garments where the sequins are used artistically to create an elegant design, like on this Embellished Sheer Tunic.A sparkling floral design placed on a black background immediately catches the eye. Using a symmetrical design, the sequin embellished front appliqué adds a dash of vivid color. Lime green, sapphire blue and rose pink are set off by gold embroidered outlines. Other than the appliqué front placket, black sequins have been strategically placed on the rest of the tunic, adding shimmer without taking away from the appliqué focal point.
Embroidery can add charm to almost any garment. A floral embroidered design, like the one on this Layered-Look Sherpa Fleece Tunic, creates symmetrical interest that guides the eye downward to produce an overall slimmer appearance.
Sometimes I just want a dress that’s fancy with plenty of delicate touches. At the same time, however, I don’t want something that’s over-the-top formal. This Floral Border Dress has all the charm of a regal gown without the pomp and circumstance.
