Exciting Designs at Recent Events

What a fun night at the fashion show & auction held by ActivateGood.org on November 9th!  Lots of photos on their website of all of the fun ensembles by local designers included on the runway.  My designs raised $350 for the non-profit's work and are shown below on my gorgeous model, Jessica Grace Booker,  The jacket is a lightweight casual denim fabric detailed in patent.  Pockets are pieced over pink/lavender silk dupioni using lace and cut velvet representing the treasured life skills participants in Step Up Ministry receive.  This piece work design is also used on the princess line dress.  The semi-formal dress is a pink/lavender silk dupioni with hand-dyed silk chiffon sleeves which can be worn on or off the shoulder.  Trim detail appears both on the front and the low back of the dress (not shown).  The long vest has side pockets, slightly capped sleeves, a high collar and is also edged in patent.  The style, represents the confidence participants leave the program with as they enter back into the community, employed and giving back.
