………………It’s always in the details. For this print I used the maximum amount of screens possible. This enabled me to use many colors which gave the print dimension, and made the print look expensive. Actually, the more screens the more expensive it is…..here was also a GROS GRAIN RIBBON down the fronts to secure the buttons. This turned out to be a very popular sweater as I hoped it would be. It appealed to many women.
………………One think that was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to do was having two fabrics made in two separate factories match! In this case it was a woven stretch cotton and a cotton sweater knit, but somehow they both did it not really knowing what each of the factories was doing….Of course they each could be worn with other things, but to have the matching pieces was very special!

…………….The May 2013 PANT SUIT definitely had a “Chanel” flare……It was made in what I called a “Faux Hopsack”. The obvious weave had the look of a hopsack fabric due to the thickness of the yarn. The button front jackets had contrast banding around the neck, down the front, around the hem and at the top of each of the four pockets. It also had real shell buttons that were used in their natural state for the BAMBOO/BLACK combination, and they were tinted BLUSH for the BLUSH/BLACK combination. The pant was a classic zip front straight leg with an elastic gore in the back waist band. This is a timeless suit that 10 years later still looks current.
