……………Trimmings were always an important aspect of every garment…..The quality of the trims whether they were buttons, buckles or different “findings” that I used on an article of clothing always had to be of very good quality….Sometimes it made all the difference in the total look of the garments…..These rhinestone covered rings were custom made for me by my jewelry licensee. The ring was slightly curved to conform to the body….The underside was smooth while the top was slightly bombe so they looked a little puffed….The top was completely paved in small rhinestones…The fabric I planned for was a weighty viscose crepe from Italy for most of the pieces…..From left to right…..A long sleeve open front tunic with the jeweled rings strategically placed. The tunic is worn over matching slim hip hugger cigarette pants….They were to have side invisible zippers…..Next is the jewel neck tunic with the open sides, again with the two jeweled rings strategically placed, and again worn with the cigarette pant….The dress has a fitted bandeau top, and shoulder straps attached to the dress with the two jeweled rings…..The pleated skirt of the dress was in a lighter weight viscose fabric……The jacket wrapped and at the waist where two jeweled rings held the wrap around belt…..The last piece at the left bottom was actually a two piece dress. The A-Line dress had a wide V neck line and a cap sleeve……The back had a v-neckline but opened revealing the separate skirt below. It was held together with two strategically place jeweled rings………I planned to also do these in color with matching jeweled rings.
