………………..This dress brought back memories of my Parson’s school days…..One of our assignments was to design clothes using STRIPES in creative ways….”The Stripe Project”…….Cutting the stripe on the diagonal and mitering them together for the bodice helped to create the shape. It had an insert of two stripes to form the waist. The skirt was cut on the bias…..As I recall it had an invisible side zipper to keep all of the seams clean……Black and White was one of the combinations. The dress was a companion to the Cascade Open Front Stripe cardigan jacket….even though it was sold the month earlier…..It was an easy dress to pair with many coverups….from the gauze crepe elongated jacket to the classic crepe blazer….and more.
