……………………….Clothes that were in Black, Ivory, Red and Kelly Green were now morphed into Red and Hot Pink….The stripes and color blocks, though vivid, became more subdued due to the equal valve of the colors. The contrast of the Black, Ivory and Red was much stronger. For the fashionistas the matching tights and shoes were a must with these short lengths……..Remember, this was 1991, and coordination was the BIG THING…….Also, the “designer” clothes were only sold up to a size 12. Anything above that was a special order and minimums had to be met so only the largest stores could buy larger sizes if they wanted them. When I started designing for QVC the size range went up to a 3X which was new to me. I had to adjust my thinking. There were clothes that I had designed before that wouldn’t translate well into plus sizes. It was a good challenge for me.
