Soon, I will tell you more about this little town, but today I want to talk to you about - shirring! Is a very beautiful technique of gathering fabric with an elastic thread.
There can be any number of rows and shirring can be applied in various places on a garment eg around the waist, chest, arms, ankles and other. Shirring can be lovely decorated with embroidery and embellishments on top. This technique makes a garment very fitted and feminine, with shirred styles to be found in both women and girls fashions.
I wore this green dress with a beautiful shirred back last summer in Kraków..
