Why ask me to help you dress your colors?


Seems like my love of color and clothing came to me early on. My Nanny (grandmother) was a seamstress. She taught me how to appreciate fabrics & color. And when we talked about what types of styles looked best on which type of women’s figures, she would say, “remember, trends & fads come and go. Style is what looks good on you and that is always in fashion.” 


I followed in her footsteps. While I did not sew for profit, I have made clothing for myself, family, and friends as well as designed & created costumes for live performances. All the while, color and texture played a significant part in fabric selections.


Fast forward to the mid 1980’s & the fascination with seasonal color analysis came to my attention. Now I had the background to understand what I was seeing as I made selections of fabrics to sew my clothing as well as what patterns to choose when putting together my creations for different body styles and shapes.

Using The Color Wheel for Color Coordination


I must admit, if you want to dress your colors, the first step is to know your colors! Color Me A Season gave me the answers to the what and the whys I would experience as I worked. 


Here I am demonstrating the advantages of using your Color Me A Season fan when you are wanting to dress your colors. You might say, so what is the big deal? I know how to dress my color with black. Are we understanding that there are cool blacks & warm blacks? 


And is just one illustration how I can help my clients put together their unique way to “dress your colors."
