This past weekend, while participating in the American Sewing Expo Passion For Fashion Design Challenge, in Novi, MI, as one of the 12 Designer Finalists, I drafted the Funnel Neckline from the book to make a silk organza jacket, inspired by a Grasshopper. I turned out just beautifully!, just like the funnel necklines of my favorite designer Chado Ralph Rucci.

I credit using the "Art of Fashion Draping" for being selected as one of the Top 6 Passion For Fashion Designers! for all of the inspiring silhouettes, it includes.
