This week at the Chanel couture show, Karl Lagerfeld added a genius detail to his bespoke cocktail dresses and pencil skirts: He bedazzled the thighs and knees of his models.
What You Need:
1 bag of sequins
1 bag of rhinestones (medium-sized)
1 pair of sheer nylons or opaque nude tights
1 bottle of fabric glue
2 postcards or pieces of small cardboard
STEP ONE: Find the "knee" of your tights. If you have to try them on to do it, cool. Mark the center of the knee with a tiny dot of glue.
STEP TWO: Insert the small piece of cardboard carefully into the tights. Place it right at the "knee" you've identified.
STEP THREE: Glue your rhinestones and sequins in a messy oval with the dot of glue as your center. Keep the bigger stones in the middle and the smaller stones and sequins on the edges.
STEP FOUR: Repeat with the other leg of the tights, using your second piece of cardboard as the base.
STEP FIVE: Allow 30 minutes to try.
