Patryce "Choc'Let" Banks
Hi!
I've been having technical difficulties for the past FOUR weeks! Happy to be back!! I missed sharing with you.
Below are "a few photos" of a top I designed and made for Fonktress, Patrice Banks! I am so humbled and honored that she loved my design and wore it on stage.
Patryce and I met in choir rehearsal at our church, Trinity Baptist Church, Los Angeles. She sang with Larry Graham & Graham Central Station. I don't remember the conversation that led us to work together; but I am so happy it happened. I haven't made anything for stage since designing for Anita Baker, over 25 years ago.
Patryce's top is made from silk chiffon and a silk like knit. It has lots of movement and flows when she walks. Aahhh! I kid you not, the sequence insert on the top was from a job I did for Wonderlove, many, many years ago. It's well over 30 years old. It was the perfect color and added just the amount of bling she wanted. I also appliqued a piece of the sequence on the right sleeve. I can't believe I held on to this small piece of sequence fabric after all these years!
Beautiful!
Thank you Patryce!
