trims
1)Many garments in style today combine cloth fabrics with suede or leather trims. These high-fashion items can
create problems for drycleaners who accept them for cleaning in any process--drycleaning, wetcleaning or
leather cleaning.

If the trim colors are light, natural or pale pastel shades, and the garment is processed using a proven method
that's compatible with cloth and leather constructions, there is usually no serious problem. But if the leather-
cleaning process uses a fat liquor--animal or vegetable fat extracts--as a solvent additive, there will likely be
undesirable effects on the cloth areas of such a combination garment.

Fat liquors are 100% fatty acids, so the usual problems associated with fatty acids will be seen on the cloth
portions of a trimmed garment. These problems include streaks and swales on silks and sheer polyesters, as
well as oily residues, color losses and bleeds.

porcelain, paste, wood, ivory, horn, pearl, glass, and plastic. There are two main types, those made with holes
and those with shanks. The latter have a loop of metal let in through a hole or soldered into place

Varieties of Lace

Laces, often named for their location of origination, are of many types. Valenciennes is a fine, diamond-meshed
lace much used for trimmings and ruffles. Mechlin is of similar type, but filmier; torchon is a simple, loose lace,
made and used by peasants all over Europe; Honiton, one of the fine English laces, has a net foundation with

patterns with much raised work. Maltese is coarse and heavy, usually made of silk. Chantilly is a delicate mesh
with ornate patterns, originally made of the yellowish undyed silk called blonde, later often dyed black. Point
d'Espagne is lace of gold or silver thread.

A number of laces fall outside a strict classification. Guipure has a heavy pattern formed by a braid with a less
valuable core covered with fine silk, gold, or silver thread. Limerick lace is tambour work on net. Renaissance or
Battenberg lace is of heavy tape formed into a pattern and filled in with lace stitches. Carrickmacross is cutwork
lace. So-called English point or point d'Angleterre is Flemish point, at one time smuggled into England and
renamed.

Filet is a combination of knotting and darning, reminiscent of the earliest lace forms attempted. Cutwork, or
various combinations of early lace forms with embroidery , also formed an important step in lace making. The
better-known knotted laces are tatting and macramé ; macramé evolved from the early Italian punto a groppo.
Crocheted lace reached its finest development in Ireland. Knitted laces, for which many intricate patterns
survive, have been mainly of peasant use.

Evolution of Lace Making

Lace was developed prior to the 16th cent. from the drawn work, cutwork, and lacis (darning on squares of net)
of the embroiderers' craft. With drawn work, more and more threads were removed until the ground vanished
altogether. A design was executed and its principal line supported the complete pattern. The first of such laces,
reticella, originated in Venice and was based on geometric forms. Later, as laceworkers sought relief from the
restrictions of symmetrical design, the illogical but beautiful designs of punto in aria (literally, a stitch in the air)
were first created. The richest, most sumptuous of these needlepoint laces was the Venetian raised point of the
17th cent.

The vogue for lace began c.1540, and pattern books began to appear. Early reticella designs usually included
pointed or scalloped edges. By the time of Charles I lace was used extravagantly for both costume and interior
decorating; by 1643 lace making had become an established industry. In France patterns became increasingly
more detailed and delicate; the light, flowery point de France was used for every conceivable decorative
purpose. Later the laces of Alençon, Argentan, and Valencienne exemplified French style and design. The
making of bobbin, pillow, or bone lace, which is mentioned as early as 1495, passed from Italy to Flanders,
reaching its height of production there in the 18th cent.

Machine-made lace first appeared c.1760, and by 1813 a bobbinet machine was perfected. After 1832 cotton
thread somewhat replaced linen. In the 20th cent. many lace patterns have been revived and modified, and
called Cluny lace. The chief modern centers of lace making are France, Belgium, England, Ireland, and Italy
There is always a high demand for fabric trim including fabric fringe, fabric cording, bullion fringe,
and brush fringe, among others. People are looking for not only high quality in these textile accessories
but also their availability at affordable prices.
These accessories are essential to ensure a fine finish to apparels as well as garments. The varieties in
fabric trim are so many that it may become difficult to find what you require even through online
sources. However, if you search hard enough, you are bound to come across what you actually need.
Fabric Trim
Looking for an appropriate fabric trim to suit your purposes has become easier through online means.
You will be able to locate the trims you seek to match with the latest fabrics as well as with traditional
fabrics. These trims are of highest quality and of latest styles.
Those who are in the apparel and garment industry understand the value addition to their products
when these high quality trims are used along with their designs.
For an individual - a domestic user - just adding an attractive fabric trim to an existing item will not
only enhance its look but will make it look fresh and new.
These are very decorative and come in various forms such as ribbons, laces, braids, and cord trims,
among others; with beads, sequins, rhinestones, and other such materials. The ribbon trims can be
jacquard, printed, or embroidered. They could have a golden and silver thread work in them. The
variations are endless.
In the same way, with the laces too you can opt for various designs in Venise Lace, Sheer Lace, and
Sheer Lace that is beaded, sequined, or embroidered.
The Variety In Accessories
There are so many varieties of textile accessories that can help enhance the look and value of your
products.
The addition of a brush fringe to the upholstery enhances its look. These are available in many different
widths and colors. A bullion fringe has a similar effect on different textile products.
If you are looking for fabric cording, again the variety is endless in the number of colors and shades
available and in designs. The cords could be gold twisted, silver twisted, or a combination of two. You
could opt for a cord in any color with either gold or silver edging or in any other combination. These
are sold per yard, or in 20- or 30- or 50-yard length pieces. The variety in fabric fringe is also to be
seen to be believed.
No wonder that these accessories enhance the value of your garments and apparels. However, those
marketing their fabric trims and other accessories online are keener to sell their wares in commercial
quantities.
You may be able to locate those who sell in huge commercial quantities and those who will supply in
smaller quantity as well.
An online search will show you so many varieties in different types of fabric trim, and at
times it becomes quite difficult to decide which will be more appropriate for your
requirements!

Button Masala’ & ‘The Melting Architecture’ delight LFW audience
September 21, 2009 (India)




Anuj Sharma and Arjun Saluja gave trendy directions for Spring/Summer 2010 at Lakme Fashion Week.

With buttons and button holes as a theme can a collection be created? Well, when the designer is Anuj
Sharma anything is possible! His “Button Masala” collection gave the audience a lot to think above the next
time they fasten their garments in the traditional manner. Allowing the wearer to join in with his creative
talents, Anuj felt that the humble button and its opening should be given importance on the ramp; so
garments had multiple possibilities as the wearer can change the silhouettes according her whims and
fancies.

Working around three colours – red, black and off-white with a touch of nude thrown, in Anuj sprinkled them
with multi-coloured buttons in grid pattern keeping the silhouette either tubular, toga like, asymmetric or
slightly fluid. Balanced on multiple straps that were buttoned to the body of the garment, the collection was
ideal for summer. Allowing the fabric to fall in its natural form over the body and then buttoning the garment
at     various     strategic points      Anuj     showed       a   simple    but   very    effective   line.

His advice to budding designers is, to take a rectangular fabric, add a square grid of 1-2 inches and attach
buttons on intersecting points of the grid, and then fix straps, add button holes and then let your imagination
run wild. But can everyone be as imaginative as Anuj Sharma is the question? Once more Anuj Sharma
delighted     the     wearer      and      the    viewer      with    his     strong    creative     directions.

It was a structured collection that followed its title “The Melting Architecture” for women’s and men’s wear
worked around solids and geometric, smudgy and micro check prints in black, brown, grey and white for
crepe, net, georgette and satin. Arjun Saluja for his label Rishta, proved once again that his offering for each
season is something quite spectacular and unconventional.The silhouettes moved into a complex scheme
as ruffled, tiered, geometric butterfly blouses or long tubes with front ruffles were balanced by men’s abstract
print dhoti and space age shirts or lungis which were the offering for the season.

A black layered cape cover, a large all-in-one hooded checked grey silk dress, full salwars with black shirt or
draped capris for men were silhouettes that were purely part of a very unconventional line of garments.
While the theme was very structured, the end result was a very flowing yet complex line for both men’s and
women’s wear which will be a style statement from Arjun Saluja to watch out for during the coming season.

Arvind unveils 'ready-to-stitch' denims
March 03, 2010 (India)




Arvind Ltd, the Rs 25 billion turnover integrated textile manufacturer and apparel retailer has unveiled its
latest range of pretreated 'ready-to-stitch' (RTS) denims under the brand name of 'Arvind Intellifabrix' in
Ahmedabad.

The new product has been developed through a research and development initiative of the denim division
team and will be available in two different lines; denim chinos and denim jeans. The price points have been
fixed between Rs 299 and Rs 450 per pack to be available in lengths of 1.3 meters.

A special treatment and finish has been accorded to the RTS denims. The pack will also carry accessories
like branded buttons, zipper, labels, rivets and even pocketing fabric and can be stitched at any regular
tailoring                                             shop.

Mr Subir Mukherjee, Head, Sales and Marketing, Denim Fabrics told Fibre2fashion, “We are targeting the
Indian workwear segment. People who don't find their perfect fit in the ready made segment can now wear a
pair        of        jeans/         chinos            stitched            to        their       measure.

“Normally denim jeans are washed in an industrial laundry to take care of the superficial indigo colour and
enhance touch and fill and since we have introduced some innovative finishes in the fabric itself so that after
stitching, a consumer can start wearing jeans or Chino trousers without any industrial wash.

“Our range is in the right weight range for Indian weather and we are sure, the segment of consumers who
find a pair of ready made jeans either too flashy or too expensive will now have the option of wearing a pair
of         jeans        of        the         highest       quality        and        yet        affordable.”

Elaborating on the range he said, “This range includes single and two ply chinos and conventional denim
fabrics and all fabrics are specially treated to enhance hand-fill and improve crocking values, along with
which there are a wide range of designs and colours.”

Lattice motifs add to beauty of ensembles from Deepika
October 21, 2008 (India)




For easy resort wear, the cruise collection by Deepika Gehani for Spring/Summer 2009 at Lakme Fashion
Week will be a great addition in every woman's wardrobe during the coming season.

She called it A "Patch of Paradise" and that is exactly what the collection was. Flowing chic dresses and
tunics in a mélange of prints and luxurious silhouettes had a look that was a little reminiscent of the 70s as
palazzo     pants,    floor    length    gowns      and    kaftans     floated      down     the     ramp.

The tiered layered skirts with asymmetric hemlines and the interesting lattice work motifs added to the
beauty      of     the       ensembles.     When      on       a      cruise      or      a     holiday.

Minis were tiered and fringed with lace and tassels, harem pants were worn with pin tuck jackets, draped
halter gowns, tiered and rouched long maxis, lame kurtas with wide pants, printed dogri pants with kurtas
were                  all                long                 and                  fluid.

An eye catcher was a shaded yellow figure hugging mini and a pair of gold shorts with a sexy top. The one
shoulder was a favoured style for most of the dresses to give the garments that ultra glam holiday feel.

Deepika ended the show with Bollywood starlet Masumeh in a regal pale green lehenga choli and dupatta
shimmered          down          the          ramp        to          wild        applause.

There was a pleasant mix of the western and ethnic chic in Deepika Gehani's "Patch of Paradise" offering
for the coming season; which will create a glam look for the wearer, as she moves from dawn to dusk in
stylish creations.

trims

  • 1. trims 1)Many garments in style today combine cloth fabrics with suede or leather trims. These high-fashion items can create problems for drycleaners who accept them for cleaning in any process--drycleaning, wetcleaning or leather cleaning. If the trim colors are light, natural or pale pastel shades, and the garment is processed using a proven method that's compatible with cloth and leather constructions, there is usually no serious problem. But if the leather- cleaning process uses a fat liquor--animal or vegetable fat extracts--as a solvent additive, there will likely be undesirable effects on the cloth areas of such a combination garment. Fat liquors are 100% fatty acids, so the usual problems associated with fatty acids will be seen on the cloth portions of a trimmed garment. These problems include streaks and swales on silks and sheer polyesters, as well as oily residues, color losses and bleeds. button The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | 2008 | The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.

So-called English point or point d'Angleterre is Flemish point, at one time smuggled into England and renamed. Filet is a combination of knotting and darning, reminiscent of the earliest lace forms attempted. Cutwork, or various combinations of early lace forms with embroidery , also formed an important step in lace making. The better-known knotted laces are tatting and macramé ; macramé evolved from the early Italian punto a groppo. Crocheted lace reached its finest development in Ireland. Knitted laces, for which many intricate patterns survive, have been mainly of peasant use. Evolution of Lace Making Lace was developed prior to the 16th cent. from the drawn work, cutwork, and lacis (darning on squares of net) of the embroiderers' craft. With drawn work, more and more threads were removed until the ground vanished altogether. A design was executed and its principal line supported the complete pattern. The first of such laces, reticella, originated in Venice and was based on geometric forms. Later, as laceworkers sought relief from the restrictions of symmetrical design, the illogical but beautiful designs of punto in aria (literally, a stitch in the air) were first created. The richest, most sumptuous of these needlepoint laces was the Venetian raised point of the 17th cent. The vogue for lace began c.1540, and pattern books began to appear. Early reticella designs usually included pointed or scalloped edges. By the time of Charles I lace was used extravagantly for both costume and interior decorating; by 1643 lace making had become an established industry. In France patterns became increasingly more detailed and delicate; the light, flowery point de France was used for every conceivable decorative purpose. Later the laces of Alençon, Argentan, and Valencienne exemplified French style and design. The making of bobbin, pillow, or bone lace, which is mentioned as early as 1495, passed from Italy to Flanders, reaching its height of production there in the 18th cent. Machine-made lace first appeared c.1760, and by 1813 a bobbinet machine was perfected. After 1832 cotton thread somewhat replaced linen. In the 20th cent. many lace patterns have been revived and modified, and called Cluny lace. The chief modern centers of lace making are France, Belgium, England, Ireland, and Italy

  • 4. The Variety In Accessories There are so many varieties of textile accessories that can help enhance the look and value of your products. The addition of a brush fringe to the upholstery enhances its look. These are available in many different widths and colors. A bullion fringe has a similar effect on different textile products. If you are looking for fabric cording, again the variety is endless in the number of colors and shades available and in designs. The cords could be gold twisted, silver twisted, or a combination of two. You could opt for a cord in any color with either gold or silver edging or in any other combination. These are sold per yard, or in 20- or 30- or 50-yard length pieces. The variety in fabric fringe is also to be seen to be believed.

  • 9. 12 Button Masala’ & ‘The Melting Architecture’ delight LFW audience September 21, 2009 (India) Anuj Sharma and Arjun Saluja gave trendy directions for Spring/Summer 2010 at Lakme Fashion Week. With buttons and button holes as a theme can a collection be created? Well, when the designer is Anuj Sharma anything is possible! His “Button Masala” collection gave the audience a lot to think above the next time they fasten their garments in the traditional manner. Allowing the wearer to join in with his creative talents, Anuj felt that the humble button and its opening should be given importance on the ramp; so garments had multiple possibilities as the wearer can change the silhouettes according her whims and fancies. Working around three colours – red, black and off-white with a touch of nude thrown, in Anuj sprinkled them with multi-coloured buttons in grid pattern keeping the silhouette either tubular, toga like, asymmetric or slightly fluid. Balanced on multiple straps that were buttoned to the body of the garment, the collection was ideal for summer. Allowing the fabric to fall in its natural form over the body and then buttoning the garment at various strategic points Anuj showed a simple but very effective line. His advice to budding designers is, to take a rectangular fabric, add a square grid of 1-2 inches and attach buttons on intersecting points of the grid, and then fix straps, add button holes and then let your imagination run wild. But can everyone be as imaginative as Anuj Sharma is the question? Once more Anuj Sharma delighted the wearer and the viewer with his strong creative directions. It was a structured collection that followed its title “The Melting Architecture” for women’s and men’s wear worked around solids and geometric, smudgy and micro check prints in black, brown, grey and white for crepe, net, georgette and satin. Arjun Saluja for his label Rishta, proved once again that his offering for each season is something quite spectacular and unconventional.The silhouettes moved into a complex scheme as ruffled, tiered, geometric butterfly blouses or long tubes with front ruffles were balanced by men’s abstract print dhoti and space age shirts or lungis which were the offering for the season. A black layered cape cover, a large all-in-one hooded checked grey silk dress, full salwars with black shirt or draped capris for men were silhouettes that were purely part of a very unconventional line of garments. While the theme was very structured, the end result was a very flowing yet complex line for both men’s and women’s wear which will be a style statement from Arjun Saluja to watch out for during the coming season.
