Lisa's turn

Lisa has discovered a beautiful fabric store called Bombay Silk. As the name states, all of the fabric is from India and it is all silk. Sandwashed silk, raw silk, chiffon, georgette, organza, charmeuse by the metre. All silk!

After the success of the boys' tailoring expedition, Lisa thought she would have a dress made for Tim's staff  End-of-Year banquet.

Lisa chose several different pieces of fabric for two dresses, two wraps, a skirt, and a top. The tailor at Bombay Silk is Namaz. He is skilled in crafting women's fashions and drew these sketches to guide his work.

The day before the banquet Lisa picked up her dress and shawl. She was expecting the blue dress to be ready but Namaz chose to make the black silk dress first. Last minute shoe, nail, and jewelry changes made it all come together for a lovely evening at the golf course. Silk feels so nice!
