Sheath
style black evening gown of fine Belgian lace. This gown is
fully underlined in sheer silk organza and the seams are bound
in skin tone colored silk to make the seam lines invisible.
To further maintain the sheer look, a custom made nude colored
undergarment is worn underneath. A plunging back neckline
ends in a spray of silk flowers and leaves.

A
splash of glorious color is a refreshing change from black and
makes for eye popping entrances! In this richly colored two
piece evening outfit, a strapless bustier is paired with a soft
-pleated full-length skirt. The skirt fabric is a wonderful
crisp silk taffeta in a deep plum color. The bustier is made
of an exquisite, Swiss brocade haute couture fabric. It is finished
at the neck edge with a narrow piping in the same fabric as
the skirt. A cumberbund of irridescent chartreuse/plum doupionni
adds a dash of complementary color. |

This two
piece evening outfit began its life as the wedding coat which
appears in the bridal photos. The bride wanted to make use
of the coat after the wedding so
it was remade into a three quarter coat. We narrowed down
the fullness in the
jacket, and added a slim fitting straight skirt.

Make
an entrance! The fitted, velvet jacket has a flattering open
neckline and front button closure with small onyx and rhinestone
buttons. A single, large silk bloom at the front waist adds
interest. The fullness of the formal length skirt is gently
released from the waist in deep, soft box pleats. Unlike a gathered
waist, flat pleats allow for fullness in the skirt while eliminating
the look of bulk. The striped skirt, made of hand woven silk
doupionni could easily be worn with a close fitting silk sweater
or cashmere turtleneck for another look altogether. |

Utterly
simple, utterly elegant. Palest blue sheath gown is made of
luxurious 4-ply silk crepe. Plunging V-neckline and sleeve hems
feature deep topstitch detail. The full length gown has a knee
high walking slit at the center front.

This
fitted sheer lace top is made of fine French lace in a deep
eggplant color. It can be worn with a solid color camisole,
a nude colored bodystocking or, for the daring, nothing at all
underneath. Pair it with a skirt or pants in silk charmeuse
or fine wool. |
