…………………………There were two additional pieces to the Aug 07 group. The SILK CREPE de CHINE blouse. It had a very pretty and unusual neckline. The ballet neckline had stitched pleats framing the face and then opened on the body. At the bottom of the pleats was a tunnel for a drawing string in the self fabric. You could draw it in to close the neckline or leave it open. The bottom of the sleeve had the same pleats with elastic. The sketch shows pleats at the sleeve cap, but I don’t remember if we kept them during the fitting. The colors were PEACOCK, FUCHSIA and PURPLE……….The COTTON/ACRYLIC blend tunic sweater has a ribbed COWL NECK. It had side slits and bell sleeves. It had a HERALDIC pattern down the front and on the sleeve. I loved to research these historic patterns. I learned so much history while doing the research…………August was a huge group………a very successful group!
