……………….The short SUNDRESS was made in a new NYLON blend fabric that had a pronounced crinkle texture. It had a slight iridescence that was highlighted by the texture of the fabric…..The body was fitted at the top and then A-Lined out. It had a tiny ruffle at the front neckline, at the back neckline and at the hem of the dress. It also had a ruched elastic area at the center back neckline…..A simple little sundress with LOTS OF DETAILS. It could also double as a tunic over Capri leggings…..It came in THYME…..SEAFOAM….and BLACK.

…………………..The floral print was engineered on the cotton cardigan so that there was a solid border on either side of the button front and at the ribbed hem……It was in a CORAL and NAVY combination, both shown on the left…..The cotton stretch CAMP SHIRT and SHORTS was in a stretch woven cotton. It was a coordinating floral print to the cardigan so they could be worn together………something that was very difficult to achieve!

………………It’s always in the details. For this print I used the maximum amount of screens possible. This enabled me to use many colors which gave the print dimension, and made the print look expensive. Actually, the more screens the more expensive it is…..here was also a GROS GRAIN RIBBON down the fronts to secure the buttons. This turned out to be a very popular sweater as I hoped  it would be. It appealed to many women.

………………One think that was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to do was having two fabrics made in two separate factories match! In this case it was a woven stretch cotton and a cotton sweater knit, but somehow they both did it not really knowing what each of the factories was doing….Of course they each could be worn with other things, but to have the matching pieces was very special!
