I was sorting through my scarves yesterday. The colors and prints gave me ideas for light dresses. What do you think about using scarves for dress designs?
I kept catching myself pulling at my sleeves when I was stressed, so I started adding tiny fabric loops inside my garment cuffs. They're out of sight but easy to find with your fingers. I use leftover silk or ribbed knit for a nice feel. It's a silly detail, but it actually helps me focus during long design sessions. I've put them on sample jackets and even some dress hems. Friends who tried my pieces say they like having something to play with without ruining the look. You can adjust the size so they don't get in the way. It's a cheap fix that adds a quiet bit of comfort to any outfit.
We were all dying... but had to stay professional.
