………………………Jan and Feb were quite small in numbers of new items but March made up for it….Starting at the top was the “Poet’s shirt” in the signature cotton/span. It had a wonderfully easy comfortable fit which made it very popular. The bib front and the front placket that ended with a button tab below the bib were just some of the special details. The “mitten patch pockets”, the roll up sleeve with button tabs, and the side slits added to the verve of the top. It came in khaki and white. This top should have been a reorder…..but…..TPTB felt it was in competition with a top coming out from another vendor and was dropped to my chagrin….They didn’t want them to compete even though mine came out first….politics……The blazer at the lower left was in a wonderful stretch cotton sateen. It had great tailoring and all the seams 1/2 inch top stitching….It was the colors that, for me, made this a very special jacket…The limeade was so refreshing. it had a whitened look that keep it from being to bright and acidic…….The frosted lilac had a slight grey tinge which kept it sophisticated…..and the sand in the sateen finish cotton looked rich, and anything but dull…..The poly/rayon tank was designed to go with the cotton sateen jacket and it was done in the same colors. What was special about this tank was…..at the bottom of the scoop neckline was shirring just to add a little femininity………but the special touch was the tiny, dyed to match georgette ruffles trimming the neckline and armhole…..The last piece was a very special fabric of WASHED CHARMUSE for a romantic tunic. It glided over the body and felt like very expensive lingerie. It was offered in champagne, frosted lilac and pale aqua. This was one of those special pieces that appealed to a certain woman. A woman that wanted luxury fashion pieces in her life.
