The talented hands of Carolyn Perry
Always turning out some new fashions
Everything in Carol
Perry's clothes closet - wi
the exception of her shoes
sweaters and pantyhose - ha
originated in the fertile i
agination of the 1982 gradua
of Fanshawe's fashion desi
course, and been brought i
to existence by her skill
hands.
"Making 4:i{1e's own cloth
means custom fit, and w
made garments with sea
that don't ravel and butto
that stay on", the 23 -year -o
fashion designer with th
fashion model figur
e,alained.
For as far back as she ca
- remember, Carolyn has bee
surrounded by the rustle
patterns, the whirr of sewin
machines, and the sight
pins and pressing mitts.. He
mother Shirley sewed a
home for her six children, a
has taught many sewin
courses at the Exeter hig
school.
"I gave her a needle an
thread to keep her busy whil
1 was sewing," Shirley recal
ed, proudly opening a sera
book to display a tiny top fo
a doll, made when her oldes
daughter was four. The even
ness of the stitching i
remarkable.
Soon Carolyn was designin
and making dolls' clothes
and progressed naturally t
producing larger items of ap
parel to wear herself. He
mother remembers vividly
culotte dress Carolyn mad
and insisted on wearing to he
grade three classroom.
"I just hoped people didn't
think I had made it," Shirley
laughingly remarked.
Carolyn's. favourite past -
time determined her choice of
further education after grade
13. During her three years at
Fanshawe she' studied all
aspects of the fashion
business, including textile
science, the history of
costume, pattern drafting and
industrial sewing.
Although she can whip up
anything from a camisole to
a coat, Carolyn's specialty is
lingerie and loungewear. She
is always dreaming up some
new feature.
"The more you work with
it, the more possibilities you
see," she enthused.
In her final year, as part of
her thesis, she designed and
put together six loungewear
outfits. -The exotic confections
would not look out of place on
Marlene Dietrich . gliding
langorously across a Broad-
way stage, or adding to the
allure of an Elizabeth Taylor
breakfasting on champagne
and truffles.
A pink chiffon gown is top-
ped by a marabou -trimmed
brocade jacket, a blue
peignoir set glistens with
bugle beads and eight yards
of marabou. One white satin
bias -cut gown beneath a
marabou and sequin jacket
could fittingly accompany
another white ensemble of
satin pants under a Tudor -
style brocade jacket to open-
ing night at Stratford or the
O'Keefe.
Carolyn now possesses on-
ly one of the black creations,
a chiffon top, embroidered
with rose sequin flowers and
pale turquoise stems and
leaves, over black faille
pants. The other, a pink
camisole complementing
black faille pants and a black
brocade jacket lined with pink

and trimmed with pink
marabou, was bought on the
spot by a wealthy socialite in
attendance at the public
fashion show in the Fanshawe
gym in August marking the
end of the three-year co-op
course.
The talented student's ef-
forts were acknowledged by
the presentation of the
Abraham Karp Apparel
Technology Award ' for
outstanding achievement at
the college's graduation
ceremonies.
Carolyn is now self-
employed as manager -
designer of Perry Originals,
with home base at 404 Ed-
ward Street. In the im-
mediate future the youthful
businesswoman envisions
selling her wares at home
parties. A long-term goal is
her own boutique in London
and maybe, some day, a
chain of stores.
Assisted by her mother and
sisters, Carolyn recently end-
ed successfully the fifth an-
nual display and sale of
lingerie, loungewear and gift
items that filled the Perry liv-
ing and dining rooms for
three days with racks and
•racks of feminine finery,
tables of bath mitts, satin
sachets filled with fragrant
_potpourri, and jars of
homemade fudge.
Two additions this year
were guardian angels and
dough people. Each appealing
little mohair -curled angel,
white hands clasped piously
beneath hugh black grosgrain
eyelashes, has a poem attach-
ed to its heavenly robe which
reads: "When 1 go to bed at
night, my guardian angel in
my sight, I will know that God
is there, and he will keep me
in His care." (The poem is the
result of a Perry family
collaboration. )
Carolyn began making
dough people "in her spare
time" after seeing some at
the Exeter fair. Each little
character is individual and
.unique.

item of clothing has to be
drawn in the dough, cut out
and applied", Carolyn said.

can also make a piano sing
with gospel or classical
music. Carolyn's ability to.
play by ear has been enhanc-
ed by formal training. She is
working on her grade nine in

By the way, don't be sur-
prised if sweaters are soon

quired knitting machine.
• Can those things make pan-
tyhose too? -
That would leave only the
shoes.
