| Comrags is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year!
It is hard to
believe we've been creating together for so long. Every season feels like
we are doing a collection for the first time. We still get excited about a
fabric, a colour, or a detail. Spring 2003 is no exception - it is full of
new fabrics, fresh colours and innovative ideas.
So browse on and celebrate spring with us! |
|
| Please note we are not able to accept orders from what is seen on the Comrags website.
We are happy to show you our designs in person at the Comrags boutique or at any other of our Comrags retailers. |

Cotton Biflex
Every wardrobe starts with the basics, so we've done a collection of cotton
two-way stretch, bottom weight separates.
The City Skirt is a new silhouette for us - tight and short! It's very
French, with lots of stretch for comfort. We've done three lengths of
pants, all with a low rise, suitable for the mature woman: Gwynnies,
Kelvins, and Caddy's.
Available in dove and black.
93% cotton, 7% elastic, stretch in both width and length
Hand wash, lay flat to dry.

Dresses
Easy bias-cut dresses and vintage-inspired dresses are our signatures. We
are always looking for unique prints (Satin Twill) and drapey plains
(Georgette). Whenever we find a great print, or colour, we'll pick it up
and throw in a few limited edition dresses, that carry the "keeper" hang
tag. Check our stores regularly to see what's new.
The Balfour, Martella, and Dainty Slip are perfect examples of the
flattering easy wear bias dresses we are known for. Nice open v-necklines
are flattering to every age and body type.
Of course, we also have the perfect Basic Slip to wear under all these sheer
colours. Nude shows best this season. Our Basic Slip is a great investment
because it is designed to hide your bra straps and to show off all your
curves.
The chaos of stitching and gathers seen on the Secret styles manage to
suggest a classic vintage detail but in reality is achieved in the most
non-traditional way. Pleating, gathers, tucks and appliqués give this group
texture and shape.
Available in navy, burnt orange, and turquoise.
100% viscose
Dry clean only. |

Jersey
We always have a strong collection of knits - we love the easy care and wear
of washable jerseys. We pay attention to seaming to create a snug fit that
doesn't pull or bind. We also add the extra length in our t-shirts because
we know not everyone has the belly of a sixteen year old!
The Hound Dog Dress has all the appeal of a vintage dress but with none of
the fuss - it literally is pulled on and is as easy to wear as a t-shirt.
The Miriam Dress is also easy to pull on, but it is beautifully seamed to
fit the contours of your body, without being clingy.
Our basic Shell is also available printed. We are so happy with all the
knit colours, that we chose to print some tone on tone, and some super
contrast. |

Eyelet
Eyelet is such an appealing fabric. It feels familiar, and is full of
memories whether they are real or imagined.
Eyelet is also very important for Spring 2003.
We thought we should do pieces that could be worn everyday, all summer long!
Fading and wear will make you love your eyelet piece all the more! The
Soft-Serve Skirt has an easy waist, fitted yoke and a generous flounce. Wear
this sexy skirt with your highest sandals or your favourite sneakers.
We love having the freedom to take a classic men's golfing jacket, our
Slappy, and make it in a pretty eyelet fabric. You can't get much better
than that!
Available in black & white.
96% cotton, 4% elastic
Hand wash, lay flat to dry or dry clean. |

Stretch Plaid
Inspired by this big, geeky plaid we put together a wardrobe that any mod
hipster would die for.
The Trevor Jacket is like a little boy's trench - sweet and cool. Dare to
be bold and wear the Trevor Jacket with matching Kelvin Jeans. This slim
little boy look can be worn by all, thanks to the stretch in the fabric.
Pull on our terrific Fringe Pant and head to the playground!
Colour as sampled.
70% cotton, 26% nylon, 4% lycra
Warm wash, lay flat to dry or dry clean. |

Crushed Cotton Nylon
Fabrics are often the main source of inspiration. We were thrilled to find
this techno-fabric that has a permanent crush in it, and is also wind/water
repellent. The metal creates crush and shape. Inspired by the fabric's
properties we designed a little "cargo" group. Pockets, stitching and
drawstrings accentuate the shape and crush of the fabric. Top off your
low-slung easy-fit cargos with a tiny fitting boyish Dale Jacket and you are
all set for city living.
Remember those Anoraks from high school? Well, they're back - be ever so
modern when you pair the sporty Anorak with our tight City Skirt.
We finished this group with a little gauze Colonel Shirt in wool.
Available in black.
47% cotton, 46% nylon, 7% metal.
Hand wash, lay flat dry, or dry clean.

Cotton Shirting
A crisp clean shirt is a great piece to add to your collection. Everyone
looks put together when they throw on a nice white (or bright) cotton shirt.
The sleeveless Dolores Shirt is so great that we literally have had it in
every spring collection since its conception.
Each new shirt this season has a detail to flatter every body type. The
Shirtly has a little drawstring that draws attention away from any little
belly you may want to hide! (wear with a Soft-Serve Skirt) The Piper Shirt
is crisp and formal but not too intimidating because of the flirty little
gathers at the cap sleeve (wear this with the City Skirt).
The Holiday Shirt has that perfect 'fifties beatnik housewife' look -
especially in a retro shade of aqua (wear this shirt with black Gwynnies).
Want it even easier than a shirt and pants? How about the Alcoa, a
sleeveless shirt dress; so simple with a zipper and an apron skirt?
Available in black, white, work-wear blue, aqua, and tangerine.
100% cotton
Machine wash warm, cool dryer or dry clean.

Linen
Linen is a centuries old fabric that takes colour beautifully. The natural
properties of linen, such as crushing and fading, add to its appeal. This
season we have used a high-quality Irish linen in a simple bias Slip which
we are offering both long and short.
We've lined the linen Soft-Serve Skirt to enhance its shape, but we've left
the Dale Jacket unlined to create a more shirt-like piece.
Available in red, raisin, slate, and blue.
100% linen
Dry clean only.
