The value of accessories in the wardrobe of a modern woman can hardly be overestimated - often they become the bright dominant of the image and especially emphasize female charm and beauty. One of such original things is a French scarf.
What is it and what does it look like?
This thing is a scarf on the neck of a triangular shape, at one of its ends is a loop. Due to this, the accessory can be decorated in different ways - this is already due to your imagination. In addition, the texture, as well as the color palette of French scarves, is very diverse.
This accessory also has the name franton or a scarf-transformer.
This product is very practical and fits perfectly into everyday style, adding a touch of romance to it. In addition, the franton is able to complement the business image, diluting his everyday life: with a strict dress code, when calling accessories are unacceptable, he will give an elegant and restrained look.
Sometimes a woman wants to diversify her wardrobe with a new outfit, but she is short of money. Then an elegant transformer scarf can come to the rescue, which will revitalize a fed up blouse or dress.
It should be borne in mind that the French scarf is a two-way thing. Two identical parts can be cut from the same fabric, or different patterns can be combined. For example, one side of the product can have a bright ornament, and the other is monophonic - this will give the franton a special charm.
Material
The material from which the transformer scarf is made must certainly be natural and soft. For the summer season, choose kerchiefs from flowing chiffon, shining silk or viscose that is pleasant to the body.In winter, practical things from cotton, delicate cashmere or cozy wool are appropriate.
The French scarf may well be knitted. As a rule, a crochet technique is used for such purposes - openwork weaves look elegant and romantic.
How to sew on your own?
If you have at least minimal sewing and cutting skills, you can easily please yourself with a new thing in the form of a fashionable and cute accessory, and at the same time you will not incur almost any material costs. Indeed, many craftswomen use old clothes for sewing a transformer scarf (for example, an orderly annoying scarf), thereby giving new life to old things.
To sew a fashionable French scarf, you will need a pattern, fabric and thread.
Do not forget that this accessory is cut on both sides, so carefully measure the material so that it is enough. You need to cut out two equal-sized halves, and then sew them on the wrong side, and you can do this manually.
Remember that you will need to unscrew the scarf, so leave a small unbroken fragment. After that, bend the “tail”, and after stitching it in the form of a loop, which is the hallmark of this accessory.
Dimensions
In order to sew this accessory on your own, and this is very easy to do even for inexperienced craftswomen, you will need two pieces of fabric 65x28 centimeters. These are standard sizes for the French scarf, although they can be changed up or down if desired.
How to tie in different ways?
The texture and features of the form of dandy make it possible to turn it into a strict tie, a delicate romantic bow or a bundle, which can be of different sizes.
The easiest way to tie a dumbbell is to thread a loose tip into the loop and then straighten it. So you get some kind of tie. If you slightly screw the tip back on, then visually turn the product into a larger one and make a special emphasis on your neck.
The free end can be threaded into the loop and twice - in this case, an original knot is formed, similar to a rose, which can be shifted to one side or left in the middle. You can fix the knot with a spectacular brooch.
Romantic people can design a stylish French scarf in the form of a voluminous bow. To do this, the free side must not be tightened to the end, but only to the middle. A small bow is obtained if you connect the opposite corners of the franton, pass them into a loop and spread them in opposite directions.
Another way is called a “fan”. In this case, the scarf is bent in half, the farthest angle from the loop is threaded into it. The elongated end must be carefully straightened and aesthetically fixed.
How and what to wear?
The French scarf of saturated coloring (turquoise, emerald, cherry) fits perfectly into the fashionable wardrobe of a romantic girl.
To a strict office set (with a skirt or trousers), choose a franton in beige or gray, chocolate or black. In principle, multi-colored accessories are also appropriate, but only if your outfit contains at least one shade from this gamut.
Fancy catchy colors will draw your creativity and personality, being the perfect solution for holidays and fashion parties.
