…………………..The second group for April 09 had a color block cardigan with small gold buttons. It came in Red/White/Navy and Green/Navy/ Cornflower Blue. It was a very complicated sweater to manufacture…..The cotton stretch blazer was fully lined. It had gold domed buttons down the front, and on the sleeve. Since the sleeve was 3/4 length we made them working so you could turn them back for a more casual look. It had a nice shape due to the body seams in the front and the three seams in the back. The patch pockets also had flaps with the gold buttons…..There was a matching slim leg pant with little slits at the bottom. The jacket came in White, Red and Lime….the pant came in White and Navy…….The wrap shirt was in a satin faced cotton. It had 3/4 sleeves with French cuffs and gold ball cuff links . The shirt had a notch collar and body darts for shape The tied at the side. It had a very chip look over any bottom from shorts to any style pant and skirts….The next blouse was in Silk Crepe de Chine…It had a short sleeve without any arm hole so it was all one piece with the body of the blouse. It was banded around the ballet neck and at the bottom in contrast color. The sleeve had a single fold up cuff in the contrast color with a tab and gold button. There was also a contrast tab extending from the neck frame also in the contrast color with the button. This was for decoration. The blouse zipped up the back with an exposed gold zipper. There were contrast bands on either side of the zipper……This was a fun, modern blouse with an edge. You could easily pull it on over the head or open the back zipper part way. It was also fun to leave the zipper a little opened too. I find when a garment has an exposed zipper it ALWAYS looks today, and never dated……….It came in Navy with Red, Yellow with Orange and Khaki with Turquoise.
