2 DIFFERENT LOOKS, ONE PATTERN!

Helen McCleneghen created 2 completely different looks simply by changing the fabric! She used Vogue pattern 8645 shown on the right, to create these day and night looks. Come check out our window display!






Her "day" look (right) is made with an orange and white oxford stripe cotton that was actually one of our remnants-what a great use for a remnant! The second look is the "night" (left)  made with a gorgeous floral pattern silk charmeuse. Both of these dresses are great for so many different summer events- everything from lunch to a wedding!
