Beading and emboridery was very popular on evening dresses, so i looked at garments from this era and was inspired to design garments which have beadwork. I tried sampling with beads and sequins which were popular but they, werent as successful as i'd hoped they would have been. So i tried using buttons and adding bead where the thread goes through. This wa very successful, quick to do and i really liked the outcome. From this i them created designs.
