This was about the third or fourth shirt that I made. It was completed during the fall of 1995 for a gala I went to while living in Seattle.

While it's twenty years old, this shirt is in far better condition than many that I bought later.

I am extremely careful of when and I wear this treasured garment. I cannot find this lovely violet silk fabric at all. Once this shirt wears out (and I love it dearly), that is it.
