Braided Wool
Wool type hair pieces?
I have seen people braid wool into their hair and I like the look ... I just want to know how it's done really. And is it a pain when you're washing/conditioning your hair?
I have a couple of braids in my hair, mainly a combination of plaiting and wrapping the wool around my hair (like the sort of braids that children seem to get on holiday sometimes!). http://www.angrycaninelovestick.org/ has a good section about woollen hair, though it is mainly for people who want the 'cyber' look. I dont know about what happens after you leave wool in your hair for a long time, but apparantly the wool can mat in with your hair, making it difficult to remove. Also beware of wool that shrinks in the wet!!!
there are also several livejournal communities, who may be able to answer questions: http://community.livejournal.com/fakehairlearner/ and http://community.livejournal.com/woolhead/
The traditional Chinese dress was profoundly elegant, extravagant and a prominent part of the culture of China. With the passage of time however the Chinese dress has evolved into something new. Today's Chinese dress makes use of traditional elements fused together with contemporary styles in order to develop a revolutionary modernized Chinese dress. One of the things that the fashion designers have retained from the dresses of the days gone by are the old school motifs including abstract images of dragons, lions, opera masks and various other deities. The use of Chinese bronze is also prevalent to create printing, embroidery, woven and applied designs on clothes. Even themes of some famous Chinese paintings are used as patters in the modern Chinese Dress.
The basic structure of these dresses remains the same but fashion designers have a limitless variety when it comes to composing the cut for the collar, skirt and sleeves. Similarly they create designs where they experiment with the length, width and height of the gowns. And then you have the printed designs as well as the embroidery to work with. The practice of using fashion accessories with the traditional Chinese dress has always been part of the Chinese culture and the practice lives on amongst the modern Chinese Dress with of course the fact that the fashion accessories have also evolved. The use of macram' is quite popular in decorating the shoulders, seams, opening belts, pockets and even hair ornaments and necklaces.
The most timeless dress style has to be the wrap dresses first introduced in 1972 with its waist-whittling, bust enhancing and hip reducing flair. Flexibility and versatility ensuring its longevity show your style in Wrap Dress Chinese Women's dresses starting off with the iconic Issa Silk Jersey Faux Wrap Dress that belongs in your closet season after season, year after year. It's a classic long sleeve, deep front v-neck dress with ruched waist detail, feather print, ties in front or back and is made of 100% silk. Fabulous fashionistas are sure to flock to this fantastic dress by BCBG Mas Azria in a fauz-wrap design with v-neck, all over unique and interesting modern print, three quarter length sleeves and slip on style for easy dressing. Cant go past the Tucker The Dress, a dress premium wrapped up vintage inspired graphic reflective of All Tuckers Styles. This dress is in a new swingy wrap design we can't live without made of super soft drapey silk, voluminous sleeves, a blousy top and a tie-belt around the waist. Looks great with tall boots or round toe platforms.
Perfect for skinny minnies and voluptuous girls alike, the mini-empire waist Chinese dress is universally flattering. It adds curves to the right places while disguising the wrong. The thinnest part of a woman's body is directly under the bust line and the empire waist draws attention to this slim area and provides good coverage of your stomach and hips. By hiding the natural waistline, this style gives the illusion of a smaller waist. Give off an easy California Girl vibe with the Sunner Grafton printed silk mini dress with pleated empire waist. Think a gathered waist, pintucks and ruffles. Chic yet understated, wear as a tunic over leggings or your favorite skinny jeans. Feel the call of the wild in a Elie Tahari 'Mandy' silk jersey dress with surplice v-neckline that creates a feminine, flattering fit coupled with an empire waist with self tie belt, mini box pleating and short sleeves.
Elegant, feminine and practical, the sheath chinese dress is defined by a figure-hugging silhouette with a well-defined waist that usually is cut mid-calf or shorter. Sheath dresses may be designed with or without sleeves, and are typically most flattering on toned, hour-glass figures. Fantastically flirty is the Kevan Hall Red Sheath Dress with exposed Zip Front to wear for work and out for drinks and dinner. So fitting in bright red sporting pockets with flaps. The Greek goddesses did it! Radiate royal beauty divinely draped in the stunning Sari Sheath dress by Ports 1961. Featuring off the shoulders neckline, short right sleeve and a side zipper with a hook and eye closure. Ravisingly classy is the Italian wool funnelneck sheath dress by Milly in nubby wool tweed with a contrast silk ribbon border at neck.
Rare or non-existent are those breed of women that want to add inches onto their hips. So why ever consider the bubble dress one begs to ask! Worn with the right fitting and fabric, the Bubble Dress Chinese women's dresses are complimentary to all sizes and figures. Bubble over with beauty in a junior's Speechless Asymmetrical Bubble Dress, sleeveless in merlot pink. Look sleek yet be comfortable in the metallic bubble-hem dress with flattering front pleating and keyhole-tie at back neck and pull-over styling. Known for her bright colors, simple shapes and soft wearable cottons, Ella Moss finds the delicate balance of edgy vintage without being over the top trendy in this Spa Abbey Dress with braided spaghetti strap detail, fitted roll-over bust with tie-knot at center busy and soft comfortable stretch throughout with elastic bubble hem.
