THE SWIZZLE COAT, inspired by Sally for our winter couture collection

Black wool texture’d pique; shapely and fitted as much or as little as you prefer. White satin lining.


The ruffle’d collar with stand-up or lay-down options.


Beautifully curved asymmetrical front closure, black patina’d metal hook  ‘n eye closure from collar to mid-thigh.


Under the coat, a pewter solid and black print 2-layer dress in translucent, bias-cut georgette for fit-and-flare silhouette.  Polyester georgettes are wonderful; all -season, hand washable, fast drying–GO GIRL!


. . . with fringe-frayed edges at neckline and armhole (also available with sleeves and/or optional darts for more fit at the waistline if preferred).  An easy-to-wear dress like this is perfect for the rigors of business travel.  All ready-to-wear is typically cut for an A-B bra cup sizes.  Our business in couture (custom-made clothing) allows us to cut the garment for a C or D bra cup size;  thus a garment that flatters you.  Though the garment is soft and swingy (thus easy to wear) the garment must fit in all the right places.


Our spring 2010 style show is scheduled for the last week of

March.  Let us know if you are interested in attending–
