……………………Sometimes a simple detail can become an important theme on a collection……….The side seam SHIRT TAIL cutaway bottom worked well for many different tops and jackets. The sketch says matte jersey, but it was too flimsy…I switched to a Rayon Cady fabric, because it had more body, and kept the shape better. It was also a better fabric for the shirt tail hems…….From left to right…..A tank midi length tunic worn over matching pants……Next is a strapless tunic, again over the same wide leg pant……Next sketch is a ballet neck tunic with short sleeves worn over a short skirt…..The last sketch to the right is a 3/4 length single button jacket with wide open sleeves, and a stand collar. It is worn over a simple chemise dress…..It’s always “in the details”.
