POST LABOR DAY 2008

Nearing September

Think Fall, 2008!

Go for tweeds, tiny details, and the Queen of Coats! Embroidered fabrics go from day to night.

(Click on the pictures to see more detail!!!)

THE BASICS . . . get one perfect SKIRT . . . here in muted tweed with velvet ribbon trim . . . and one perfect slim PANT . . . here, in heathered tweed with grey abalone buttons-and-loops at the hemline.

THE QUEEN OF COATS . . . Here in chocolate /black/grey wool tweed with paisley velvet cuffs and lapel; it’s totally reversible to khaki coloured gabardine–rain resistant, too!

THAT COAT! . . . goes everywhere! Here, on a windy crisp day near the coast.

THAT COAT! . . . here a day later in the mountains! Room enough to layer over sweaters.

SWING! A roomy cut like this drapes and contours with you! It’s figure flattering— ask your tailor for proof and advice.

TELL YOUR TAILOR . . . to check your back view. Does it fit? Yes! A short slit over one knee lets you climb stairs or hike all day long.

THAT COAT AGAIN! Here, in embroidered wool with matching sleeveless sheath dress.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL . . . textured vintage buttons on one side, abalone shells on the other.

REVERSIBLE . . . to black cashmere–or fleece. Our beaded scarves, too —for necklines or shoulder wraps. We go, girls!

August

Summer Continues . . .

For Your Information!

Why do we love to wear the SKIRT/SKIRT?

Our clients request this custom-made garment repeatedly. Easier than shorts or capris and travels perfectly (wash in the sink in one minute, dry with hair dryer in two minutes, put on and go!). Fits before and after junk food and Weight Watchers. Wear with flip-flops, flat shoes, and Birkenstocks. Great for shopping, shows, and taking out the trash.

How to?

A) You choose two or more fabrics (available here or we’ll help you to make choices from our local stores or on-line).

B) You design it with our professional assistance. It’s two or more individual layers of skirts sewn onto one waistband–we can advise you on the best waistline for your figure type. Your choice of fashion details may include, for example, pleats or slits placed where they flatter your figure, and work with your lifestyle. For example, allow a slit over the right back leg and the left front leg allows freedom of movement and the fabric layers catch a summer breeze

C) Pair your SKIRT/SKIRT with a couture (custom-made) T-shirt. Not your average T-shirt, ours are sewn in unusual designer fabrics and feature Project Runway fashion details like button-backs, boat necklines, hint-of-fit-but-not-too-snug-fit, bracelet length sleeves.

We will discuss and design with YOU personally, one-on-one, over coffee or tea (or on the run if you’re pressed for time). We can’t boil water but we know how to design and make great clothes. Here are some examples.
