…………………Using different rib knits as a detail , and part of a garment was always something I liked to design for many reasons…..Firstly, I liked the look of mixing rib knit with many different fabrics and styles. The STRETCH FACTOR of the knit always made any garment comfortable to wear, because the stretch of the knit gave unrestricted movement. Lastly, due to the stretch knit ir always fit the body beautifully…..From left to right……The leather three button jacket with rib knit sleeves worn over a rib knit skirt. I always tried to add a little lycra to the knit so the knit would always keep its’ shape……Next is the leather button front dress with the rib knit back, and the self leather belt…..At the upper right is a dress with a rib knit, short sleeve top with a jewel neckline and a swing georgette skirt…..At the bottom right is a zip front leather jacket with rib knit sleeves and a rib knit bottom. It too had a matching leather belt……….When I did my Linea for QVC collection I continued designing garments with rib knit trims. I used leather, suede and boiled wool often with the rib knit……….It was always successful!
