looking into distressing the shirt , shredding the threads!!!!!

here have started with cutting holes into the fabric, the fabric  was rather thin and has a really suede type feeling.
although i did did find it quite difficult actually pulling the threads. as i worked into and spent a few nights actually pulling the different threads it was starting to take a lovely unique look. i think this was becoming quite successful. it looked very distressed. up coming trends at the moment are like this.

The catwalks for Spring/Summer 2011 have got lots of 70s’ Glamour to Eclectic Chic.trousers are either over exaggerated or very sleek and flared 

Seventies inspired rounded sunglasses




Unfortunately i have had some problems throughout making my seventies garment, the pleated callot horts didn't go quite to what i wanted them. Although with some stressed out moments i have over come this problem and have visited the local salvation army charity shop to see what i could find .I have therefore dug out some inspiring seventies clothing which i can now customise into a final outfit for the fashion show in may. Before i start playing around i feel i need to look into the research in a bit more detail. i like the idea of long pleated skirts!
