APWQ, fashion show

The Fashion Show and tea was organized by Lorraine Torrance, pattern designer. Washington must have had several excellent teachers, the clothing was interesting and varied. With all shows, some is more wearable than others and some is made for display only. Below, a few of the garments ...

This was made from a man's shirt.

interesting use of Grandmother's Garden

This model had several outfits she had made ... I recall seeing them in shows ... they were quite amazing.

My apologies to the garment makers, I am not able to add names to the photos ... but, thank you for sharing your creations.
