Met Gala 2019

It’s the first Monday of May and we just can’t keep calm because it’s Met Gala Day. Met Gala, formally known as Costume Institute Gala is an annual fundraiser for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City.

It refers to the early ’60s when women and men would wear outfits that exaggerated and at the same time distorted their body shapes.

trivet_purse_step2
Step 1: Measure a piece of leather that has a width of four inches and a length of ¾ of the trivet’s circumference. A circle’s circumference is 2πr, and the circumference for our seven-inch-wide pot holder is 43.98 inches. Divide that by ¾ and our length of the leather is about 33 inches. Once measured, cut out the strip of leather.
Step 2: Hem the short edges of the leather with a needle and thread. Stitch the long edge of the leather to the trivet’s edge using a blanket stitch. Continue until the whole long edge of the leather is sewn on.
Step 3: Measure two strips of braided cord to the desired purse strap length. Hand stitch each end to the purse to create straps.
Step 4: Stitch on the bead to the top end of a trivet with a needle and thread or a piece of braided cord.Take another piece of braided cord and make a loop that is long enough to extend from one side of the bag to the other side. Stitch the loop’s ends on the trivet.

As an evening dress remember to wear one that shows off your silhouette. It is good to wear something tight. Bring some of your favorite features in focus for example with a v-neck.

D.I.Y: FEATHERED BAG!

How to make a feathered bag in the comfort of your home, taking inspiration from that worn by Jessica Alba at the Golden Globe’s Award.

bba47306-213d-45b5-b846-876cbaee3ace

WHAT DO YOU NEED: 

1. old clutch-style purse;

2. tacky glue;

3. marabou boa;

4. scissors.

HOW-TO…

STEP 1: Lay your clutch flat and visually estimate how far apart the pieces of your boa need to be to get the kind of coverage you want.

STEP 2: Spread the tacky glue in vertical lines down the front of your clutch, and across the top below the clasp.

STEP 3: Starting from one side, lay one end of the boa onto the glue at the bottom of the clutch.

STEP 4:  Fold the boa piece over at the top of the clutch, and then loop it down towards the bottom.  Snip at the bottom of the clutch.

STEP 5: Repeat for all the lines of glue until the front of your clutch is completely covered.  Allow to dry and then trim the ends so they’re all one length.

STYLE YOUR RECTANGLE BODY SHAPE

pjimage (2)
As Agelina Jolie, if you are rectangle shaped you probably have:
Shoulders, hips and bust around the same size
A little or no waist definition
A flat bum
With rectangular body shape you need to create the illusion of a waist. Keep your silhouette uncluttered, draw focus to your hips and bum and create gentle curves. That’s why bikini and tankini tops are your best friends. To create the illusion of curves and a more feminine look, choose tops in lighter colours with pattern. Also, opt for halter neck tops.
Be careful ! Avoid bandeau style tops ! That will accentuate your upper body making it masculine.
