I love animal prints because, well, I think it's because I love animals but I'm too conservative to wear animal prints except I did have a pair of black and white python boots I had made. Back then they screamed so loud I had to get rid of them in order to sleep at night. But you might have some women friends that would love an animal print garment.

They were considered outrageous by some hotels, bars and fancy restaurants so if a woman showed up wearing trousers, she would turned away. The clothes you show and find so outrageous were a way around that – you could still wear trousers but they looked like a dress and no Maitre d' would have the gall to check.<br />As for the ugliest patterns, I was surprised to find one of my TNT's in your collection. I still use it and love it. Taste, huh!<br />Qiana, at the time, was the elite of fabrics. I think Halston used it. So expensive. But it draped beautifully, was easy to care for (if you didn't get grease spots on it) even though it was difficult to sew without a ballpoint needle.<br />I personally loved the robe you made for your mother – I made one very similar in style and fabric and color way back when. Love that pattern. What is the number of that pattern and make? Sorry your Mom didn't love it but I'm sure you'll find someone who will love it. Are you supposed to guess what she wants or does she tell you?<br />Barbara<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-65761380073222754422014-01-12T20:21:11.944-05:002014-01-12T20:21:11.944-05:00Aloha from Josie

For your mother make a house coat with a Hawaiian print (aka mumu). If nothing else, you will get a lot of attention from both other students and your mother. You will find out in a hurry if she is mumu friendly.<br />Mahalo for sharing<br /><br />MahaloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-76374042069978747622014-01-12T05:07:44.571-05:002014-01-12T05:07:44.571-05:00Perhaps the leopard print could be trim on a jacke...Perhaps the leopard print could be trim on a jacket lapel or suchlike?
