Fortunately, there’s a huge range of options - even at budget price points.</li> <li>The big direction is luxury-look fabrics with golden threads, sequins, and stones.</li> <li>Velvets -especially crushed velvet - looks elegant.</li> <li>Embroidery and appliques used in abundances looks very dramatic - and adds lots of value.</li> <li>Plush fabrics - from faux furs to chenilles are ideal for garments or as trims. Foil prints, contrasting use of solid and sheer fabrics and other shimmering effects play a role here.</li> <li>Don’t forget about lace - as trims or in full garments.</li> </ul>
