“APRIL 10 SPECIAL OCCASION DRESSING”

……………………….April 10 had a special show called “Special Occasion”. These were clothes you might wear for the Easter Holidays or any Spring/Summer special occasion……The jacket on the top row was made in a Shantung jacquard floral pattern. Due to the shantung fabric it had an iridescence to it. I had many trials of colors made up to show to the buyers….BIG MISTAKE…..Never give them too many choices……Nine times out of ten they will pick your least favorite colors which I should have eliminated in the first place!…LOL…..They chose Seafoam and Orchid…two pretty colors, but not my first picks. I would have gone with something stronger like the Lime and one of the peachy pinks or sky blues. There was a coordinating pant in White, Orchid and Navy……………The 3/4 sleeve jewel neck cardigan had DTM pearls bordering the neckline and the sleeve…..It came in Black, Aqua and Champagne……….The georgette tunic top had  bracelet length sleeves. The neckline had “cartridge pleats”, and in between each pleat a DTM pearl. It also had contrast facings in the split sleeve and the hem which had side slits so the contrast color could be seen…….The colors were Turquoise with Lime and Orchid with a bright Pink.
