Today we will tell you about George wrapper and blouse styles in 2017. This season, for the creation of festive and wedding looks, George style offers a range of white, blue, turquoise, ivory, bright yellow and delicate pink colours. This year's trend is the placement of embroidered design not only around the edges but also in the middle of the fabric itself.

Depending on your individual taste, you can choose whichever length and size of the George pattern. If you want to create a very festive and vivid image, you can opt for a dress fabric with a wide pattern or lace stripe. If you would prefer to create a more relaxed and sophisticated look, you should choose a fabric with a thin strip of lace and embroidery. Or you can combine them both for a super awesome outfit.

For example, you can make an exquisite blouse with an abundance of embroidery and lace. But a wrapper can be more restrained with a thin strip of embroidery or lace. Or it may be done vice versa. The hemline of the George wrapper can be one-third or even half embroidered and laced, and the design of the blouse will be more restrained.

Typically, the George style embroidery for festive attires is made with a brilliant silk thread in one colour range with the main fabric. But the embroidery can be a bit lighter and brighter. But there are situations where the embroidery is made in another colour, that blends very well with the main colour scheme.

Often for very elegant options, gold and silver thread is used. As a rule, fabrics in a cold colour range are embroidered with a silver thread, and in a warm range, a gold thread is used. Although, there may, of course, be exceptions. The more different options we have, the more choices fashionistas can enjoy.
