Kathryn Sterner

 Kathryn Sterner lives and works in the Twin Cities. She draws inspiration

 from places and people, from the attitudes and environments that they

 create. While she is constantly changing and experiencing new things that

 impact her designs, she sees to it that each garment portrays its own

 unique spirit.

 Kathryn's design philosophy is that everyone is constantly learning.

 Every day is a new experience and another chance to grow. The clothing

 someone chooses to wear reflects the spirit and attitude of a particular

 time. It should not be dulled down with the fear of regret or judgments.

 Each day we should dress ourselves with the understanding that tomorrow

 will be different and the appreciation that yesterday has brought us to

 where we are today.

          The plan for the reconstruction of this outfit is to begin with

 the original jacket and change it into a skirt. This will be done by

 removing the sleeves and taking in the sides of the garment. The buttons

 will remain down the center and this will be the way to get the skirt on

 and off. There is a lining in the jacket that will also transition to be

 the lining in the skirt. The waistband of the skirt will come from the body

 of the stripe collar shirt. The shirt of the outfit will be made from the floral dress and the stripe

 shirt. The body of the shirt will be made in a kimono style from the skirt

 of the dress, sewn in the shoulders and the sides. The cuffs of the sleeve

 will be made from the collars of the stripe shirt.The finished garment will be a modest silhouette with a youthful aspect supplied by the mixed prints.
