Have you heard that Mad Men is returning April 7th?  Are you as excited as I am? 

In honor of this momentous news I have made a nifty little 1960s style suit with a slim sheath and cropped boxy jacket.  The fabric is a very special navy blue figured silk crepe from Japan.  The bodice of the sheath is a divine Liberty of London floral print, which is also the lining of the jacket.  Four covered buttons decorate the front of the jacket, which has a perky round collar.  A bow belt at the waist in acid green brings out the colors in the print and is a sharp complement to the navy blue.

The perfect suit for a little office flirting…

Although I love pink all the time, I especially love it at Valentine’s Day.  When the weather is cloudy and cold, what better way to brighten your day than with a little pink?

This romantic party dress is made from a lovely pale pink silk damask with a woven pattern of roses in silvery white.  The bodice is a halter style with a bow and brooch detail.  The brooch is rose Swarovski crystal surrounded by pale pink opalescent stones.  A dropped waist flares into a full skirt with a pale pink tulle petticoat. 

Doesn’t your favorite doll deserve this special Valentine? 

Don’t you?

I have been wanting to make a suit for the stunning Evening Gown Silkstone for a while now, and bright pink was the color I wanted for her. 

Here she is, modeling “Pretty in Pink,” a suit in luscious azalea pink silk brocade woven in a tone on tone houndstooth pattern.  The jacket of the suit has a shawl collar that frames her face and a flared peplum that flatters her tiny waistline.  Black faceted jet buttons decorate the front and a black silk bow belt highlights the waist. 

A slim pencil skirt finishes the ensemble. 

The pink rose fascinator adds a touch of mystery.

Although there are snowflakes falling outside, most of us are already dreaming of Spring.  This suit is sure to get you in the mood for budding trees and daffodils.

The fabric is a lush silk brocade in lilac with flowers in yellow and periwinkle.  Pearl buttons decorate the front of the jacket and silk taffeta bow in periwinkle nestles in the small of the back.  A vintage crystal brooch and pearl decorates the collar.  A lavish bow hat is the perfect accent.

These two ensembles provide the ultimate in mix and match in shades of white, dove grey and palest pink.  The trim little suit is made of an exquisite silk brocade with a lovely sheen and has a shawl collar.  Pearl buttons and a pale pink bow belt are an elegant finishing touch, as is the pillbox hat trimmed with vintage flowers and pearl accents. 

The second ensemble is a Moulin Rouge top in pale pink silk taffeta with a pale pink tulle ruffle at the hem, ruching at the bust, and a crystal belt buckle at the waist.  A dropped waist full skirt in the same pink taffeta has a pale pink tulle underskirt. 

The pink full skirt looks divine with the brocade jacket, and the suit’s pencil skirt beautifully complements the pink fitted top for a completely different look.  You can choose which pieces you would like to add or include them all.

Many of us dream of receiving a little blue box with white satin ribbon, the iconic colors of Tiffany & Co.

As soon as I saw this striking blue silk, I was reminded of Tiffany & Co and was inspired to make this elegant party dress.  The dress is strapless blue silk with a full skirt and sweetheart neckline. 

A sparkle white tulle peeks out from the hemline.  A white lace over blouse is trimmed with a blue silk band and bow. 

A band hat with flowers is the perfect accent.
