The Tessuti Awards


What I am passionate about....... I love Italy.....the food, old historic buildings, the quaint little villages in the countryside and the wonderful " zest for life" that Italians seem to possess. Italians have fantastic design ability, whether it be furniture ,clothing , jewellery or shoes. I work with some beautiful Italian silks and jerseys and decided to enter the "Tessuti " competition using some of these silks ( leopard skin prints featuring in the shoulder pads ) . My " Frock up in Colour" is RED , passionate and rich.



"Frock up in Colour"

Red jersey dress, wrap dress, easy tie at back, features shoulder pads which can be removed easily ( transparent press studs), low elegant back ( backless bra can be worn), jersey is non crush so frock can be packed easily for travel. Frock is shorter at front and has a soft flow at the back. Comfortable to wear and a style to suit many occasions.






" Little Black Dress"

Beautiful black silk jersey trimmed with black glitter stretchy banding. Dress is easy to wear as jersey adapts to your body shape, the feature is a lowered back and crossed glitter straps ( a backless bra can be worn). Frock can be taken to your work and worn out to an event that night, as jersey is light in weight and doesn't crush. Shoulder pads have been used to accentuate the shoulders.

I used to have a specialised formal wear shop at Mona Vale called "Anything But Casual" some 20 years ago (that's me in the photo above back then). I sold the business and decided to do some university study relating to the beauty industry. After getting my degree I decided to return to fashion and found renewed passion. This time I am making easy wear, easy travel and stylish clothing for the busy, mature woman. Because very few women are a standard " SHOP " size, I have grouped my designs into three areas...

"Petite"... covering sizes 6,8,10
( many women who are small in frame do not want to wear teenage clothes or shop in the childrens wear department.) Now they can buy fashionable clothes that fit them perfectly.

"Curvaceous"...... this covers sizes 12, 14, 16.
Specially designed for the curvy woman.

"Voluptuous"
........... for the size 18 and over.

Nearly all my garments are separates as many women differ in upper and lower body measurements. I find this makes an individual fashion statement for each client. They can actually choose their own style by picking individual pieces. These can be worn in a variety of ways as most of my outfits are interchangeable. My choice of fabric is unique as I only purchase a limited amount of the same print. I'm always on the lookout for a fresh new look.

My favourite fabrics to work with are Leather, Suede, Silk, Linen and Jerseys.
