"Here, I have a one piece Capri length jumpsuit. And, if you'll watch the fashion shows for this season, I designed this way before the season, this was years ago. But, jumpsuits are, one piece jumpsuits are, can be seen on the runways in several different collections. And, pretty much, they're something that will fade in and out, in my opinion, with time. They'll appear some seasons, and ten years later, they'll appear again, and we'll get a big fuss. Like, ooh, it's so easy, it's easy dressing. Well, it's a one piece thing, made for a certain body, and if you have a short waist, it's not going to work. If you, that's why they're not, they don't retain their popularity, I think, throughout fashion, is because they don't work on everybody. But, it's a very, very cute look when you're trying to design a collection and you don't have to actually wear it yourself. I did a sexier version. I utilized the body and I dipped it down in the waist, created a hood. Therefore, I mean it would be, obviously you would need the fashion boob tape. That's the whole point of it, is that it dips down to you, almost the belly button. And then, in order to showcase the hips, and create, create a place for the eye to go to, I put a belt around it. And then, I would envision this in a jersey fabric, some sort of knit, that would be stretchy, but not Lycra. Because Lycra would be kind of, a little bit cheesy looking. So, some sort of supple knit fabric."
