…………………..As I was looking through one of my hundreds of books….I started to look at this one book on Russian Art and Textiles……”SOVIET COSTUME AND TEXTILES…1917-1945″….The painting I referenced for the print was created in 1920…..The Azure Blue combination was the original, and I added the Grey combination and the Hibiscus combination. The print was on a jersey. The dress had a scoop neck with cap sleeves….a waist seam and a gored skirt……The SHRUG was made in a jersey fabric also, and came in Hibiscus, Black and Azure Blue.
