J. Ewing Designs of Bastrop, TX donates $10,000 Gown for Silent Auction at DesignAmerica-Texas
Ms. Ewing’s award winning original designs epitomize the allure of couture. Refined, elegant and sophisticated with perhaps just an edge of the Texan in her, her creations turn heads from Paris to Houston. This stunning white lambskin backless gown is laden with thousands of rhinestones, leather maple leaves, lace and hand-applied beadwork. The jacket is embellished with faux fur and is cut to swing in a most elegant fashion. Guests at DesignAmerica-Texas will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bid on and own this original design in a silent auction featuring just this work. Bidding will begin on Friday, May 6 at Astonishment – The Preview Gala and will continue throughout the three days of the show.
Ms. Ewing is generously donating all proceeds from the Silent Auction of this gown to DesignAmerica Foundation, a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit corporation (pending).
