蕾絲邊的衣服
If you want to know what real lace looks and feels like, then you should see handmade lace used to make couture gowns and wedding dresses. What you see in your local store cannot measure up. It is made by means of special machines. Its surface is flimsy and flat.
如果你想知道真正的蕾絲看起來摸起來是什么感覺的話,你就該去看看用來制作時裝禮服跟婚紗的手工制作的蕾絲。你在當?shù)厣虉隼锟吹降哪欠N不算。那是由很多種特殊的機器做的,表面很容易壞而且很單調(diào)。
Cheap lace will never look good enough. If you want something resembling lace, then try fine mesh instead. It is not as elegant as lace, but it is quite feminine.
廉價的蕾絲永遠都不夠漂亮。如果你想用點類似蕾絲的東西的話,試試拿細網(wǎng)格代替看看。它雖然沒有蕾絲那么高雅,但是它也很有女人味。
2. Embellishments and detailing
裝飾跟細節(jié)
Be careful when you buy an item that has embellishments on it. There are not too many cheap garments that are well-embroidered. Usually the quality of beads, studs and sequins used for cheap clothing is too low. They are attached by machines instead of a human.
要注意你買的單品上面是不是有裝飾品。有很多的廉價的衣服繡花都不夠精致。一般用在廉價的衣服上的珠子,鉚釘跟亮片的質(zhì)量都很差。這些東西都是用機器做的而不是手工的。
What we suggest is that you should buy plain and simple garments. Adornthem with your own jewelry, embellishments and pretty accessories. Be your own stylist.
我們的建議就是你應(yīng)該買一些樸素并且簡單的衣服。用你自己的珠寶、飾品跟漂亮的配件去裝飾它。做你自己的設(shè)計師。
3. Gathered seams
老是有很多的接縫
Gathered seams make clothing suitable to a greater number of people. They fit everyone and cause no fit issues. On the contrary, flat and smooth seams are far more difficult to make. Besides, perfectly tailored clothing fits fewer customers.
很多接縫會讓整件衣服適合更多的人群。每個人都能穿,因為沒有不合適的問題。相反,單調(diào)又光滑的接縫做起來很難。除此之外,完美定制的衣服只適合少部分人。
Due to their high quality such clothing costs a lot. Next time you go shopping for garments, try and find something with clean lines. Sharply tailored clothes can be found in an inexpensive store as well. Opt for pleats and put aside gathered seams.
由于服裝質(zhì)量很高,價格也很高。你下次去買衣服的時候,試著找一些簡潔縫合的衣服。在平價商店也能找到很多剪裁精致的衣服。先別管那些接縫,看看褶皺的地方。
4. Imperfect fit
不合身
Clothes that perfectly fit will always look great. Even if you spend lots of money on expensive clothes that do not fit you well enough, they will look cheap. Luckily, there is a way out – purchase cheap clothes that fit. Make sure that a pant leg is not too loose or long. Find a blouse, try it on and see if a shoulder is not too wide or narrow.
很合身的衣服總會看起來很漂亮。即便花了很多錢買很貴的衣服,但是不夠合身的話,看起來就很廉價了。幸運的是,有個方法可以避免——買一些便宜的合身的衣服。確保褲腿不會很寬松也不會很長。找一條寬松的上衣,穿上試試,看看肩膀看起來會不會太寬或者太窄。
So, if you know that the clothes will need more serious tailoring, then leave them and find something else.
所以,如果你知道那件衣服需要拿去好好剪裁一下的話,那就別買了,看看別的吧。
5. Tiny multicolor florals and complicated or small prints
碎花圖案、復(fù)雜或者小的圖
Tiny florals and small prints is not the best option. It is very likely that this kind of print will look cheap. When you are shopping for clothes, pay attention to graphic prints. Simple stripes, contrasting colors, polka dots and even plaids is what you need.
碎花跟一些小圖印花并不是最好的選擇。那種圖案很有可能會看起來很廉價。你去買衣服的時候,注意看看那些圖案??纯春唵蔚臈l紋,對比鮮明的色彩,波爾卡圓點,還有格子是不是你想要的。
There are cheap stores where you can find tons of clothing that meet these criteria. Remember that if you cannot instantly recognize the print from 10 feet away, then leave the garment and find something more appropriate.
你可以在廉價商店發(fā)現(xiàn)很多這樣的衣服。記住,如果你不能從10英尺之外立馬就看出來圖案是什么的話,就別買那件衣服了,找找別的更適合的吧。
