All it needed was some upbeat music to be a fashion runway show. My favorites were the green Missoni cardi and skirt. Love that color! And the classy black suit. It inspired me to think about using some of my stash of wool double-knit. I had a couple of RTW wool double knit suits in the 80's. They always looked great and were super comfortable. And I was looking at my new Vogue patterns yesterday and one of the coat patterns (a Miyake, I think) recommended wool double-knit. It really is a great fabric.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-45223152136171460402009-09-14T16:58:46.769-04:002009-09-14T16:58:46.769-04:00What a great way to end your vacay, with two great...What a great way to end your vacay, with two great dresses.
