The process was so time-consuming that she soon moved to block-printing. Kate and her artist partner, Robin Rae, worked from their home in Dorset, running a dressmaking and screen-printing business throughout the Seventies. Her designs were always period inspired.\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e..........................................................................................\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kate Beaver Hand printed dresses \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e linen \/ cotton \/ linen mix \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great vintage condition.
