……………….BLACK with GREY and BLACK with BLUE were always very chic timeless combinations. The dress also paired well with the new Whisper Knit Bolero…….here in BLACK.

………………….The February group featured the Whisper Knit Tank which was the companion piece to the BOLERO shown in March. I always felt they should have been shown on the same show….but the buyer decided to separate them……It really never made sense to me…..but….I was able to show them together twice using my “SNEAK PEEK’ concept. Boleros are a very useful article of clothing. They are easily stored in a tote for when they are needed. They serve the purpose of covering the arms without covering the garment worn under them, and they work on everyone of all heights and sizes. They were avail. in BLACK…..TOBACCO and WHITE to coordinate to the waist whittling tank…..even though they were perfect on their own……I considered them to be an “ACCESSORY GARMENT”.

………………..I LOVED this fabric the moment I touched it, because it was so light weight and fluid…..perfect for Spring/Summer……The Poly/Acrylic blend was very soft. The stripe had a solid stripe and a MARLED stripe which gave the fabric a chambray, heather look. The top had a V neck and a cap sleeve. The seam down the front was needed to create the mitered effect, and to give shape. Each seam had an OVER LOCK STITCH in a contrast color for an added detail. It also gave the pieces a more casual look. The Midi skirt was also mitered. The two pieces were perfect together as a two piece dress or separated to be worn with other things like the denim separates……It came in…….SUNBURST YELLOW/WHITE……ESPRESSO/WHITE…..and INDIGO/WHITE

…………..I believe I ended up doing at least SIX different color combinations in the Geranium print. I gave the suits to Angela, and she loves wearing them……STILL lots of compliments, and why not…..they will always be BEAUTIFUL!

……………….The GERANIUM PRINT JERSET KNIT TOP was one of my most popular prints. I actually designed the print by taking photos of the many Geranium bushes around my property. I even picked leaves off of the bushes and brought them to the print maker to make sure they were accurate!…….Originally I had done a cotton/span print jacket and short pencil skirt to coordinate. They too were very popular and reordered……Recently I saw in one of the fashion magazines a Geranium print suit very similar to the one I did ten years ago, only the skirt was a circle skirt……so I hope you kept your Geranium pieces and continue to wear them…..They will NEVER go out of style.
