Inspiration from Elie Saab Summer 2010 collection. Pearl, bead and stud covered shoulder pads and padded shoulder pieces. When stocking up for a project like this, think big. 200 beads sounds a lot but does not cover as much as you´d think.. Go for 1000 or 2000. Takes forever to handsew but it is so worth the trouble. If you´re lazy, test if a gluegun will do the job faster. One trashion material that I´ve wanted to test (since high school!) in eveningwear is broken, crumbled up safetyglass.. Found most commonly at buss stops on a Sunday morning. Glued to an evening dress it would look like diamante frost.. The Photos via Firstview.
