I'm going to place an order for the studs today (in both black and silver). Once they come in, I can do some mockups on the fabric and post again.</p> <p>@Merwoman: Studs would look cool around the sleeves or hem. Ooh, how about a block of antique gold studs on the sleeve cuffs of the red dress?</p> <p>@Shiny: I am leaning towards studding the black dress as well.</p> <p>@Day: The bell shaped sleeves are a little dramatic aren't they? I found them very impractical so I took the dresses in to get the sleeves narrowed.</p> <p>@Aida: I was leaning towards the collar/shoulder studs so I could get the look that is currently in stores without buying something. I need to think about whether I'm ready for a statement. Either way, thank you for inspiring me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756680 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 23:59:10 +0000 Angie 756680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756561 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:29:43 +0000 Aida 756561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay I was just going to PM you and ask about this ^^</p> <p>#1, #3, and #4 look best to me; for some reason I'm not feeling the red tunic with the studs unless it's more heavily studded (and then I'd prefer the shoulder). #3 would be the most unique option, there's nothing really like that in the stores. The collar/shoulder ones are quite on trend, but you do see those in the stores. #3 makes the biggest statement, and #1/#4 are a good subtle nod. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756555 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:24:58 +0000 Day Vies 756555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Numbers 4 and 5 look best to me. I think its wonderful that you are changing these dresses to make them what you want. </p> <p>I am a big fan of military styling so while I initially loved the black dress with the studs around the neckline I REALLY LOVE the studs on the shoulders. With the red dress for some reason the studs seem to work better around the neckline. </p> <p>I would not put studs down the shoulders and sleeves I fear you would end up look over done in a Vegas kind of way. The sleeves look bell shaped which is already a design feature I think studs there would just compete. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756532 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:52:03 +0000 Anonymous 756532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea. My favorite is #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756525 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:44:39 +0000 shiny 756525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute idea! Tough choice. I'm going to say 3! I like the look with a black dress better than red, for some odd reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756522 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:42:16 +0000 merwoman 756522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool! I like the studs all around the neckline - and I think the size that is shown which is probably 1/2" works best for this location. Am wondering what they would look like around the sleeve hem (wrist) or dress hem - maybe a smaller size would work better for the hems? I wouldn't put both neckline and hem studs on at the same time - but there are so many wonderful possibilities. Great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756519 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:39:37 +0000 catgirl 756519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love tthe studs in 31 and #5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756482 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:06:42 +0000 amiable 756482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I like 1, 2 and 5 the best! I think the idea is brilliant, wherever you put them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756480 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:04:35 +0000 missvee 756480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 3 the best. I'd do one of each. What a fun project! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756476 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:01:39 +0000 bj1111 756476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yessssss. 3,4, and 6 are fun fun fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-adding-studs-to-a-dress#post-756458 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 19:43:35 +0000 Sylvie 756458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently got the sleeves narrowed on these red and black tunic-y dresses (these photos still show the sleeves as wide) but I thought either one might be a little more fun to wear if I added some studs.</p> <p>I'm looking at adding 1/2 inch pyramid studs in either black or silver but I could go down to 3/8 inch or 1/4 inch if people think that would be better.</p> <p>Options:</p> <p>1) Black Dress: Silver studs on collar only, going around to back</p> <p>2) Black Dress: Silver studs on whole neckline, going around to back</p> <p>3) Black Dress: Black studs on shoulders and going down sleeves</p> <p>4) Black Dress. Silver studs on shoulders only.</p> <p>5) Red Dress. Silver studs on whole neckline, going around to back</p> <p>6) Red Dress. Silver studs on shoulders only.</p> <p>Which option do you like best? Feel free to suggest a new dress color/ornamentation scheme/stud color/stud size. :)</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
