What people are calling embroidery is not embroidery. It is ALL stoning with crystals of various sizes. You can see it on the really high resolution pictures, especially if you know what stoning looks like. ETA - And the company which makes these crystals is a LB sponsor. So they likely have had access to stones for free or at cost. curious about stoning. would each stone be placed individual on the coat or would sections be made up on thin fabric and then placed on the coat? Note that people often use the terms "crystals" and "rhinestones" interchangeably. (But to be more technical, rhinestones can be made from either crystals or cheaper acrylic.) The terms "Swarovski" (Austrian) and "Czech Preciosa" refer to crystal rhinestones made by the 2 leading manufactures of rhinestones, with Swarovski stones generally of higher quality and more expensive. www.rhinestoneguy.com/Rhinestones come in various sizes, shapes, and facet patterns (how the face of the stone is cut): www.artbeads.com/loose-rhinestones1.htmlwww.dreamtimecreations.com/category/662/rhinestones-fancy/They come in many colors, both solid colors and "AB" colors which reflect light in a multi-color way like a prism (has a more shiny effect): www.rhinestoneguy.com/SwarovskiRhinestoneColors.htmlDifferent types of rhinestones are applied in different manners: sewn (stones have eyelets for the thread), glued (using fabric glue or E6000 adhesive), "hot fixed" with a glue gun type of fixture, or come in settings like a stone in a ring. www.dreamtimecreations.com/www.dreamtimecreations.com/category/425/rhinestones-hot-fix/There is rhinestone trim that can be sewn on and rhinestone iron-on transfers. You may find some of these in craft and fabric stores, but they are often the cheaper acrylic (not crystal) type of rhinestones. www.mjtrim.com/rhinestones-crystals/rhinestone-trims.htmlwww.mjtrim.com/rhinestones-crystals/rhinestone-accessories.html?product_type=3595Anything else you want to know about rhinestones? ETA - On ballroom gowns, usually made from stretch lycra material, stones are almost always glued on with fabric glue or E6000. A ballroom gown may have 20-40 gross (1 gross = 144) or more of stones, with the skirt containing mostly the 20SS (4.7 mm, 1/6 in) size and the torso containing 20SS and/or 30SS (6.4 mm, 1/4 in) crystals. |
