A little preview of the Petrune party dresses for spring, made by “One Swell Gal” designer Natasha Keller, in our upstairs studio. This strapless number features a black cotton sateen bodice with boning for shape, with a patterned cotton skirt. So cute.

Tuesday, December 22nd, 20091940’s full skirt coat
Saturday, November 7th, 2009We purchased this coat from our friend Betty, who lives in Corning, NY, and is 97 years old. She is more energetic and positive than most people a quarter her age, and we look to her has a great example of how to live.

This 1940’s coat features a nipped in waist and a full skirt. It has a lovely shape, with sleeves that start wide under the arms, and get tight around the wrists (warm!) and the full bottom has such graceful movement.
