“OCTOBER 2011 CON’T”

…………………….The second part of the Oct. 2011 group was devoted to Holiday dressing. Starting at the top, there was a double georgette sleeveless cowl top with sequin embroidery. It came in two colors: black with black and black with gunmetal sequins. This was a great top to wear under jackets and cardigans. The next top was already discussed in the previous post……The top below at left was a crushed velvet Tunic shirt in black and rich deep purple. The quality of this velvet was very silky. I used it for a boho skirt and it was fabulous. I know many of you still own it. It will never go out of style. I wanted to use it again years later, but it became too expensive and I had to switch to a different quality……still pretty but not quite the same………..The last piece was a fabulous peasant/gypsy top. It was in this incredible two tone lurex fabric. It was actually ribbed, but in a big piece it looked as if it had micro pleats. I’ve seen many fabrics used today that look the same!! It was the same fabric in the same antique gold/black and silver/black [it looked gunmetal due to the black] as the long two tier skirt sold a month before. I wanted them sold in the same month but due to budgets per month they had to be split up. Since I styled the show and used six models I was able to show the top with the matching skirt and with other bottoms. Nothing here looks dated or something you couldn’t wear right now.
