Wednesday evening saw the biggest night in television with the National Television Awards. Stars of soap, drama and reality TV were out in force on the red carpet. As always at an event like this, the red carpet attendees showed off a mixed bag of styles, many showcasing a fabulous array of glamorous gowns and others finding themselves turning heads for all the wrong reasons! Award shows are always a fantastic way of building up a sense of what colours and styles are going to take off over the coming season, giving you an idea of what to look for when shopping for Fabrics Online.
This year was a mixed bag as far as fashion is concerned with many of the reality contingent unfortunately finding themselves at the top of the worst dressed lists with their sometimes garish and revealing outfits. Essex starlet, Ferne McCann was proof that it doesn't matter how lovely your dress is sometimes it can be something as simple as the wrong choice of shoes that can let your whole ensemble down. Ferne's high street dress was bang on trend with a fashionable combination of pink and burgundy colour blocking however, the pink feathered sandals were not particularly red carpet worthy, especially for an event as big of this. Overall Ferne displayed a fashionable and classy look which would be perfect for a more understated event. This is a look that would be simple to recreate using our collection of Fabrics Online such as our gorgeous duchess satins.

As always it was the soap stars who were putting their best foot forward in the style stakes. Emmerdale star Sammy Winward was the picture of elegance in a classic nude gown paired with loose, tumbling curls and minimal accessories. This gorgeous piece would be the ideal choice for any special occasion event and can be recreated using Fabrics Online; our korean lycra jersey is the perfect choice for a design such as this and is a popular fabric for many dressmaking projects due to its comfortable and easy to wear qualities. Featuring a 2-way stretch, korean lycra jersey is a versatile fabric which is particularly easy to maintain and sew. Sammy's longtime co-star Verity Rushworth brought a splash of much needed sunshine to the proceedings with a beautiful, pastel yellow frock. The beautiful layering added a touch of movement and femininity, this is a very easy look to achieve and using Fabrics Online such as chiffon you can achieve a floaty appearance perfect for making you feel glamorous on the most special occasion.
