Eyelet overlays are a very trendy and cute new pattern that
gives pieces a classic feel. It is very feminine and playful; it kind of makes
you feel like you have stepped out of a past era such as the 1960’s.

What is an eyelet overlay? An eyelet overlay is a fabric
that has small holes or eyelets cut out in a pattern. Underneath this revealing
pattern is a more solid piece that may or may not be a part of the garment. An
eyelet overlay is a cool detail because it gives a garment a lot of dimension
and interest. It provides layers, varying lengths within the same piece, and
visual effects that can be manipulated by changing the color of the overlay or
the underlay.
I especially like the dress featured in this article. The
seafoam color is very bright, yet soft and classy. The high sheer neckline gives
the single-toned piece more depth. The illusion of sheerness is quite chic and
certainly trendy. The line and form of this dress is simple and complimentary
with a fun hem-line because the ruffling of the full skirt.
What do you think of
this new trend?
Do you like it? Do you dislike it? Do you like a full eyelet
pattern or a semi-eyelet pattern? Do you prefer smaller eyelets or larger
eyelets? Please let us know what you think!
