Different styles of haute hippie dresses

Fashion got a new addition in the year 1960 with the hippie style dresses that got familiar all over the world. People that were much more interested in this fashion statement, wanted great designer dresses that made to appeal this fashion sense in a much high manner. From patchwork and tie dye in summer and spring outfits, hippie prom dresses and hippie wedding dresses and gowns also became quite popular.

However, there are various online stores that offer a great variety in these dresses with different styles, colors and sizes. Moreover, for the real haute hippie clothes lover, there is only one real option and that is to make your own dresses. For example, patchwork requires some quilting skills both in cutting out and in piecing in addition to sewing the actual dress. Besides full on patchwork, there is set in fabric like is done on true bell bottom jeans and blue jean skirts. This is repurposed fabric from more than one garment you can use to make your dresses really far out. 

Embroidery is another great addition to your clothes that give it that great hippie look and feel. There are a myriad of styles of embroidery that you can learn. However, it is essential that you keep it simple to begin and you'll see how quickly you can learn this craft to make your dresses more like the 60s clothes. If you can find or learn liquid embroidery and modern fabric paints, you can also make use of this art to change the look of your garment once you've sewn it together. Patch work was quite popular in the hippie era and was to patch up the holes and make garments last longer, especially because many of them were purchased second hand. But patches can now be added in a multitude of ways just to make a personal statement. Another really easy embellishment that was used in the 1960s was the addition of trim. This was typically rick rack or some other fabric added to cuffs, collars and pockets to enhance the look and change the style to a more personal look. Moreover, different colors, fabrics and laces work great for this style and of course you'll want to try your own hand at tie dying rather than just buying it already dyed. Whether you make your own haute hippie dresses, or buy them from outside, you'll truly enjoy the hip way you feel wearing your new decked out gear and know that you are reflecting your personal style.
