 In today’s world of androgynous and unisex fashion (which we love!), many of us also feel a quiet longing… for feminine clothing. Not to look sexy or to fit into a mold — but to feel elegant, expressive, soft, and proud. To wear something that moves, flatters, or simply feels like you.
So how do you bring femininity into your clothing without making it frilly, cliché, or overly sweet? Here are some inspiring ideas — from shapes to sleeves, and from delicate fabrics to bold little details — along with a bit of psychology to understand why they feel so powerful.  Tips: Yellow DIY Haute Couture
When we think of yellow, our minds often go straight to springtime: daffodils, baby chicks, sunshine… and of course, Easter! It’s the colour of joy, freshness, and new beginnings. But yellow in the world of Haute Couture? Not exactly the first shade you associate with elegant gowns or high-end style, right? Well, it’s time to rethink that! Yellow can be stylish, powerful, and even luxurious. In fact, several major fashion houses have boldly embraced yellow on the runway – and it looked stunning.  How do you recreate a Chanel outfit, without a ready-made sewing pattern and in the style of the past?
In two blogs on the BERNINA blog in April and May, the jacket, skirt and hat will be used as examples. Marga shows extensively, using more than 80 photos, how to make a Chanel-Style Vintage outfit. Of course, there is also room for your own input because it does not have to be an exact copy of an outfit from the past, such as the one worn by Ines de la Fressange on the left above.  some men can't go through life without their caps. They have a favorite cap that they wear for years. How do you make a new favorite cap?
In this tutorial you will find a link to the BERNINA blog with an extensive photo tutorial.  A wool coat is not so easy to make. This is mainly because the topstitching will be clearly visible, the collar is often complex, and there are too many layers of thick fabric.
How do you make this coat with a beautiful yet simple collar? Read all about it on the BERNINA blog!  Photo-tutorial. I am sure the Dutch language would not be a problem with google translations. Or the pictures are perhaps already loud and clear!
