The Power of Embellishments

When it comes to fashion, attention to details can make all the difference between a great outfit and a truly eye-catching one. One way to elevate a look and make it stand out is through the power of embellishments, which are a stylish way to add intrigue to a garment to whatever degree you desire for men, women, and non-binary individuals. From the subtle to the outré, embellishments are easy to incorporate into a fashion aesthetic and can give your ensemble the singular touch that speaks volumes.

What Exactly Are Embellishments?

Occupying a space comfortably between sparkle and bling, embellishments lie betwixt the two and take a more subtle approach that can still be a powerful way to make custom garments all the more suited to your unique character. Taking your personality into consideration, there are several types of embellishments that can add value to a garment, thus making it important to factor in the design, weight, style, and the material needed to achieve the desired look. Here, we go over some of the most commonly used embellishment techniques.

Hand-Sewn Beading

Time consuming yet so rewarding once you get to the final product, hand-sewn beading is an intricate and elegant way to take your look to the next level. Sewing beads on a garment brings an added dimension to fabric that is unparalleled and there are so many different sizes and shapes that can be administered to selected areas of an outfit to create a brilliant piece.

Embroidery

A finely embroidered piece of clothing is impossible to ignore and the skilled precision it takes is a current trend more geared towards personalized designs speaking to the character of the wearer. Popular materials used in embroidery include sequins, feathers, stitched silk, and pearls. Depending on your preferences, an embroidered premium piece can be customized by color, size, and cut.

Say It With Swarovski

Recognized the world over for the luminous, shimmering quality, Swarovski crystals have been on of the go-to embellishment options for the fashion-forward looking to amplify their ensemble in an elegant way. These simulated diamonds are a sophisticated touch and adding even a few to a garment can create an attractive display that stands out.

CUSTOM CLOTHING THAT AFFIRMS YOU

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

“... they showed up with an empathy and gentleness that was by no means necessary, but so comforting to a client facing the overwhelming emotions that I was reckoning with. In short, I felt taken care of, and I felt the love for what they do in every stitch. Observe the photos, the work speaks for itself.”

Conor M.

“The staff was friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful in narrowing down all of the options to choose from (there's a lot). When I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, they were patient and asked questions to help me figure out my vision.”

Monica Y.

“The suits came out better than I could have imagined. We stood out with original looks that fit perfectly. The entire process was easy and fun -- from design to check-ins to the final product. I highly recommend this team!”

“They first made me a stunning custom suit 10 years ago and i have been coming back ever since, everything fits like a glove and I feel like a million dollars wearing the suits they create for me”

Nigel B.

“They gave me an awesome, custom fitted suit in green to use for a special event in rush order … I will definitely come back to them in the future because their color and fabric selection is better than any other place I looked for in the city. Greatly appreciate their hospitality while in the space as well. The entire experience is dedicated to you.”

Janna J.

“... I never liked wearing dresses, and when I fell upon this company, looking for a femme/masculine/edgy style, I knew I had to pursue them to help me create the look I desired, from the custom jumpsuit and long jacket WITH SPIKES and bling!”

Jaime S.

“I can't speak highly enough about my entire experience working with the Tailory. I wanted to get a custom suit for my wedding and really wanted to go somewhere that valued androgyny and the queer community … The attention to detail, active listening and collaboration was really special. In the end I came away with a suit better than I had ever imagined. It was everything I wanted and (don't tell my wife) it really stole the show. I got so many compliments and more importantly I felt confident in how I looked.

Kris S.

“As a nonbinary person, I wanted to find an outfit that was formal, but not boring, and that expressed my zest for life without relying too heavily on either feminine or masculine design elements. The team did a great job hearing my wants and needs, and coming up with a timeline. With covid, my date was delayed twice and they did a great job being flexible.”

Kerrigan D.

“I loved my experience working with The Tailory! … As a plus-size queer non-binary person, it was super important that I felt comfortable and supported during this process. I felt at ease the entire time and absolutely love my suit!”

Monica K.

“The Tailory was the most delightful experience about my entire wedding planning! … I was in search of the perfect jumpsuit and they delivered the wedding jumpsuit of my dreams!! I searched every single website out there for jumpsuits and all I wanted was something elegant and simple. I was surprised nothing out there existed! … This custom jumpsuit they created for me fit like a glove and I was able to dance like a crazy person at my wedding with no issues!”

Irene W.

“I am a business woman local in Manhattan and have searched for years for a custom shop I can trust to make my wardrobe dreams come to a reality. The below pictures represent my first suit created with the help of The Tailory team and the result of a masterpiece like this is, as a woman, never feeling overdressed by any man in any business room.”
