…………………….The May 06 Anniversary show had many beautiful pieces…..I’ll start with the sketches at the bottom left………….The Cropped pant was in my now signature Cotton Sateen. The pant had a side button and zipper, and menswear slant pockets. The Blazer had a three DTM button front, and was approx 26 inches long. It had rounded lapels and collar. The 3/4 sleeves had turn back cuffs, and all of the seams were double stitched. It had 4 patch pocket with buttoned flaps. The bottom pockets had an added detail….the pockets had invert pleats.. Both the pant and blazer came in Ivory and Black. Another coordinate piece was the gored cotton sateen circle skirt. Each panel was printed with a border of flowers. It was a fun novelty spring/summer skirt. It also came in Ivory and Black with multi color flowers. The sketch notes that the skirt was to have stones emb. on it, but I don’t remember if that happened?……..The next jacket was made in LINEN and had beautiful FLORAL EMB. It had a spread flat shirt collar, a 3/4 sleeve with slits, a button front and side slits. It was unlined and could be worn as a shirt or jacket. It came in the Ivory/multi and the Black/multi……The Cotton/Rayon tank had a very pronounced dimensional rib, and the tank went with all of the jackets , skirts and tunic shirts coming up……The tunic at the upper right was a fun piece. It was in a linen gauze. The ballet neckline had a V slit in it, and the sleeves were bracelet length. The neckline and sleeves were bordered with rows of chunky Turquoise hand sewn beads…….They were two different sizes………..This was the first half of my Anniversary show…………so scroll down for the second part!
