The costume director from one of our local North Carolina theaters, the Cary Players, called our office one day looking for a print to use for a vintage pattern dress in an upcoming production of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. To help him out — and because it's such a fun theme — we decided to ask designers to come up with a print for a mid-20th century cocktail dress. This week the community will choose the top ten, and the costume director will choose his favorite to use in the play!
