...summer 2000 she opened her namesake boutique. A bias-cut wool jersey skirt of pinkish cranberry ($80) or purple microfiber pants ($120) makes an office-appropriate match with a classic white cotton shirt ($90). The designer pays special attention to fit and will make alterations in a pattern immediately if she sees it's not working on her customers. "If it doesn't fit, it doesn't sell," she remarks. Bishop's creations are stocked in sizes ranging from a petite 2 to a voluptuous 16 and can be made in larger sizes to order...
