………………For Oct. these 4 pieces were also part of the presentation……The Acrylic/Wool Dress was I thought at the time very clever!??? and something interesting for someone to buy. It had a raglan sleeve and a funnel neck, but it was a FOUR FOR ONE!. It had two HORIZONTAL ZIPPERS. First you had a DRESS….zip off the bottom and you had a TUNIC sweater…..zip off that section and you had a fun CROP SWEATER which I thought looked very ski resort with ski pants. If you zipped the bottom of the dress to the top, without the center band, you had a short dress…….It came in Black and Royal both with gold zippers. I always thought it would be fun to get the two colors and create color block dresses and tunics……The sweater to the right was in the acrylic/wool Milano stitch, so it was more of a sweater jacket weight……It had fun details. The bands down the front, [upper and lower level], and the bands on the side slits [upper and lower] were Gros Grain ribbon. It had half ball snaps closures…..It came in RED and GREEN…..no BLACK….shocking……The two center pieces were in a very special GUTSY STRETCH SATIN…..The inspiration was Cristobal Balenciaga…one of the true geniuses of Fashion! This jacket was all about form and shape. Pleats and the back invert pleat helped to add the shape and volume I was looking for. Even the horizontal band pockets helped to push the shape out. The full 3/4 sleeve was much in the feeling to C.B. There was also a coordinating pant…..The colors were Black and Pewter.
That dress sounds like it would be fun to have!
