……………….The second group came at the end of March, and was sort of a continuation of the Designer’s Gallery in mood and colors………The jacket at the upper left was SUEDE WITH GOLD LUREX CROCHETED SEAMS. It had bracelet length sleeves and gold buttons……BLUSH, MINT and NAVY were the colors all with GOLD……The silk shirt was a take off of an Hermes print. It had silk and cotton 2×2 rib collar and sleeves. The button front had a tubular knit trim. Reading the details on the sketch just reminded me of what we were able to do at unbelievable prices. I have to say it…..we were all spoiled……These clothes simply could not be made today unless they were many many $$$$$……..The V-neck “tennis sweater” was made in a 100% cotton that had a beautiful sheen to it. It was made in a 5 gauge so it had a nice weight and texture. It had cables out lining the V and down the front with contrast trims. The colors were Ivory, butter, mint and navy…….Next was a beautiful crinkle silk/cotton/spandex blend shirt. It was a classic shirt with a curved bottom and body darts. It had tiny gold buttons down the front, a double button cuff and on the collar……..The next cardigan was in a MILANO KNIT so it was more like a sweater jacket. It too had gold lurex trims and gold buttons……The SILK GEORGETTE SKIRT below had stitched down pleats [we eliminated the yoke]. At the hem was a GOLD RIBBON…..It was beautifully made……Elaine always produced beautiful clothes. She has great pride in what she produces….Her dedication and superb workmanship will be missed………….Many items in these groups became staples in women’s wardrobes and could easily be worn today…………continue to scroll down
