If you’re in New York, be sure to stop by Purl Patchwork on Sullivan Street to see their Oliver + S window display.
Purl is well-known for its outstanding selection of fabrics. The staff stocks beautiful Japanese prints, a wide selection of Liberty tana lawn, and a number of other exquisite offerings inside this jewel box of a shop.
For these samples Purl selected a sweet floral Liberty print for the Birthday Party Dress and paired it with a coordinating Kona cotton solid for the tab. Because Liberty prints are very light-weight and ever-so-slightly sheer, we used a white cotton lawn for the facings to be sure they didn’t show through. (The Liberty print sold out within two days of setting up the window display, so I’m sorry I can’t give you a link to it.)
The Sailboat Top and Pants are made from a fresh architecture-inspired Anna Griffin print and a Kona cotton.
And here are some views of the window from inside the store. How about those giant paper dolls?
