Pep up your dress with Applique!

Published by

You don’t have to be a fashion enthusiast to know that embroidery appliqué is in vogue. This fashion trend is all around us. It can be seen on the red carpets, in churches, offices, owambes, clubs, restaurants and so on.

One of the beauties of appliqué is that it has a way of transforming a plain outfit into a stunning one. Little wonder then that appliqué has now become part and parcel of the materials used by many Nigerian designers in cloth making. Appliqué basically has to do with applying one piece of fabric to another, which is placing one shape or design on top of a fabric background. It can be enhanced using different coloured or textured threads around the edges of the fabric motifs, and can even be embellished with beads, sequins and pearls.

Today, we are looking at the flower embroidered appliqué. This appliqué comes in different designs, patterns and colours and can be used on shirt, jeans, gown, Ankara, lace, guinea and so on. You can buy readymade appliqué at major markets or online. However, if  you are into needlework, you can design one yourself. In case you want to buy it, the price ranges from N1, 000 to N5, 000 depending on the style. Many designers have creative ways of applying appliqué.  Below are some ways you can pep up your dress with appliqué.
