Blue caraco, someday…

Posted on August 26, 2006 by Trystan

Well, that last idea went in a totally different direction!

But in the Garment District after Costume College, I picked up a few yards of a brilliant blue-green silk taffeta that coordinates beautifully with the black embroidered linen. So I *will* make a caraco jacket out of that and a petticoat out of the silk! Don’t know when, but it’s so pretty, it surely will happen someday.
