Develop a reinforcement strategy for fabrics intended to hold heavy embellishments, using a case study of a 2kg crystal-encrusted bra.

Apply rhinestones securely to stretch fabrics, evaluating adhesives and heat-setting methods for durability under stage lights and movement.

Sew sequin trim to a stretch neckline without compromising elasticity, reviewing a case study of elasticity loss in embellished edges.
