Sash Is Chic
A sash is typically considered as the crowning sign of victory at a Miss America Pageant. This seems right but it’s not the only way to sport a classic sash. These sweet little treats can actually be used to add a taste of glam to any prom dress. A sash does not have to be the shoulder-to-hip, golden lettered design that everyone thinks of. A sash is simply a thin, or thick, piece of fabric which is used to adorn the upper bodice of the dress. It can wrap horizontally around the upper waist, around the waist or hips, around the bust, or to adorn the shoulders. A sash is not one-sided and t can be a sweet way to add specific detail to your prom outfit. The general sash is tiered at one end, and attached with a simple stitch or an accessory (such as a decorative brooch). The far more modish sashes are lengthier and are tied around the body with material left to hang loosely for appeal. A sash can be an amazing way to adorn a strapless, one-strap, or even spaghetti strapped dress.
A sash can be used to add light and flair to a one-shade dress or any dress that could use a pick-me-up. Designer Alfred Sung has an amazing way of developing sashes in a way that adds depth and texture to already stylish dresses. A thick, lengthy sash can be wrapped around the waist, or hips, several times and then tied in a simple bow to then allow the ribbon-train to fully hang. If a sash is long, the sinuous train will add its own signature to the dress. A sash can be purchased from a designer, or ordered online, and even designed by you. Purchasing a sash can be easier, but the only trouble is finding the width and color that you prefer. By designing your own sash you choose the thickness and the color that best appeals to you. Purchase several yards of a charming silk fabric in a coordinating color. Swiftly hem the sides, and the tipped ends (after cutting to spec) using a simple, one-stitch sewing machine and that is all there is to it. You can, of course, make the sash far more detailed but this would depend on you and your time restraints. You can add decorative gemstone edging, tapered ends, even sew two colors of silk fabric together for a two color tier effect. The idea is a good one and the possibilities are endless, so grab some fabric and make a sash that will make your gown scream sophistication.
