Lost childhoods . . . class reunions . . . Do you remember when . . . ?  Class “portraits” (caricatures) drawn by my husband of his 6th grade class were my inspiration.  Christian Dior’s use of
 asymmetry and shaped peplums provided structural inspiration.  The sleeveless, floor-length, navy silk satin gown has a sheath silhouette.  The 21 embroidered “portraits” are “framed” on an  asymmetrical, combined collar and peplum.  Advanced draping and dressmaker construction techniques were utilized.
