“COTTONS, SILK LINEN & KNITS”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…………………For the Spring/Summer collections I used a variety of cottons from twill and duck to polished and brushed cottons…poplin and cotton lawn…..Sometimes different blends of cotton and rayon or cotton and polyester. I was always looking at the new developments from the mills in Europe. The sketches indicate fabrics that I was thinking of, but that could easily have changed….Starting from the left, the cropped DB jacket indicates a silk/linen blend for the jacket and side button pant, but it could easily be switched to a cotton twill for the structure….Under the jacket a bold striped knit tank…….Next a ribbed sweater tank over a knit skirt with side racing stripes…….Above a sweater knit Kimono sleeve V-neck tunic with contrast borders, and a short knit skirt…..The 4 button belted jacket say silk linen , but a stretch cotton would have been more tailored. A striped sweater is underneath worn with a ribbed knit skirt…….The A line DB jacket with the half raglan sleeve has cotton duck indicated, and that would have been perfect for this casual jacket….A bold stripe knit TN is under it, worn with a hot pink skirt……..Cotton came in many price ranges depending on the cotton yarn.
