| Permanent Pasta | Shirley created the original Latticework fabric with bias tubes and scattered dimensional cutout leaves across a vest with matching slacks. | |
| Developing Roundness | Correct collar gaps and professionally press lapel roll lines. Eliminate puckers from shoulders and hem sleeve bottoms. |  |
| Lavish with Lace | Create a lace camisole or neckline inset in case your jacket is too low. Lace perks up tired sweaters. Shirley hilariously attempts to dye faux fur and lace. | |
