With great pleasure, Las Doñas de la Corte welcomes you to the 68th annual Buccaneer Days Coronation, The Court of Resplendent Nature.
Las Doñas de la Corte invites you to celebrate the majesty of nature and the magnificent surroundings of the world in which we live. This year’s gowns and trains represent the beauty around us, and the wondrous creations that can be found on land, in the sky, and in the depths of the sea. With exquisite colors and rich beauty, nature inspires in all of us a feeling of awe. Whether peaceful or fierce, dazzling or subdued, the harmony of nature nourishes our soul.
We hope you enjoy the beautiful interpretations by our artist, David L. Phillips. His incredible vision is brought to life by couturiers, Georgette Afram, Gloria Bechara and Samia Bechara-Palfreyman, Andres Contreras, and Lucille Salinas and Monica Castillo.

DESIGNER OF THE ROYAL ROBES
David L. Phillips
Primarily a self-taught artist, David began his career in College Station, Texas as a high school freshman studying both Art & Architecture, selling at local galleries and competing in juried shows. David’s artistic talents are a merger between his analytical paternal side and his artistic maternal side. Soon after high school David moved with his family back to the Coastal Bend where he caught the interest of Bert & Susie Rucker while attending Del Mar College. As an Interior
Designer, Susie guided David into developing an understanding of working alongside clients with customer-minded artwork, producing more flexibility in his creative choices and marketing strategy.
After serving 10 years in the United States Navy, which highly impacted his understanding of collaboration, he returned to the Coastal Bend once again and attended Texas A&M UniversityCorpus Christi, majoring in Fine Arts. David’s artwork includes both Abstract and Realism. While some works are incredibly rustic and bold, others are delicate and expose an Asian influence. His underlying influences include the ever-changing Texas countryside, many of nature’s unchampioned moments, and both Asian and British aesthetics – again an impact of the Ruckers. These may include aged wood invaded by lichen and moss, rust exposed underneath several layers of paint on a long-forgotten tractor, the underside of a common wildflower, or the negative space balancing the simplicity of a 13th century Chinese silk landscape painting.
David is known for his artistic storytelling, incredible detail, and for translating other’s visions. His work hangs in some of the lovelier homes from South Texas to southern Maine.

COUTURIERS OF THE ROYAL ROBES
Georgette Afram was born in Syria. As a young girl, she learned to sew in school and soon exhibited a natural talent. To help supplement her large family’s income, she designed and made dresses for women in her hometown. Georgette married her husband, Jack, and in 1982 moved to the United States with her two young sons. Through her church she met her dear friend, Alicia Hamauei, a seamstress who had long been creating gowns for Las Doñas de la Corte. In 1989, Alicia invited Georgette to work for her assisting in the production of these gowns. For fourteen years Georgette worked under Alicia’s professional guidance. Following Alicia’s retirement in 2004, Georgette received an invitation to become a dressmaker for Las Doñas de la Corte and has continued to create gorgeous gowns for the organization. She has since incorporated several other assistants to bring the drawings to life. Working alongside Georgette are her daughter-in-law, Andrea Afram, Sara Leal, and Janice Gennaway.
Janis Gennaway, Sara Leal, Georgette Afram, and Andrea Afram
Gloria Bechara has been a dressmaker for Las Doñas de la Corte for over thirty-five years. She was born in Mexico City to Lebanese emigrants. Because her father was a lingerie manufacturer, Gloria grew up learning to do the finishing of garments and operating large sewing equipment. Gloria often traveled to the United States to visit her sister, Alicia Hamauei, one of the longtime Las Doñas de la Corte dressmakers. Gloria learned the art of the coronation gown from her sister and began making gowns herself after moving to Corpus Christi with her husband. Gloria, who excels in the detail work demanded by many of the court dress designs, has trained her two daughters, Samia and Latife, to do the same. Samia Bechara-Palfreyman, now a full-time partner with her mother’s couture house, is not only an accomplished dressmaker, but has also created designs for past courts. Latife Bechara-Medina enjoys working along with her mother and sister in the fine detailing of the dresses as their assistant. Another member of the Bechara team is Mary Haltom-McFarland.

COUTURIERS OF THE ROYAL ROBES
Andres Contreras
Andres Contreras, one of six children, was born in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico where he began his sewing career by making custom draperies. In 1984, Andres moved to Corpus Christi and was fortunate to meet his mentor and friend, Monica Castillo, a longtime dressmaker for Las Doñas de la Corte. Mrs. Castillo graciously shared her extensive knowledge with him for more than fifteen years. Andres fell in love with the process of dressmaking by using the rich fabrics, crystals and jewels. In 1999, Andres began designing and constructing the dresses for the Hi-Fairnessee Girls Club and continues to create them to this day. In 2007, Andres became an official dressmaker for Las Doñas de la Corte. His most memorable moment came when his mother viewed his work for the first time. She was so overcome, she grabbed his hands and kissed him and told him, “God bless you and never stop using your talent!” Andres now shares his acquired knowledge and talent with his assistant, Ruby Beals. This team shares a mutual love of shopping for all of the exquisite beads, jewels, and fabrics to create these remarkable gowns, trains, and headpieces for the stage and your enjoyment.
Lupita Espinoza, Lucille Salinas, Monica Castillo, and Norma Lomeli Salinas
Born and raised in Corpus Christi, Monica Castillo showed artistic talent at a young age. While at Mount Sacred Heart in San Antonio, she was encouraged to take art classes due to her natural abilities. Monica shared her talents and passion for art through the creation and design of seven courts for Las Doñas de la Corte. She has created dresses and gowns for over four decades for Las Doñas and many other organizations. Lucy started helping her mother sew appliques at the age of ten and pattern making at thirteen. She fell in love with the artistry and took her full contract for Las Doñas de la Corte in 1987. While Monica still offers her expert advice for exquisite headpieces, carries, and royalty collars, Lucy has since become the head of the family couture house starting in 2011. With a gift for pattern design and dressmaking, Lucy has created her own legacy within the dressmaker circle. Lucy’s daughter-in-law, Norma Lomeli Salinas, has joined the family legacy by instituting her creative talents in rhinestone design, appliques, and beading. Lupita Espinoza has been with the group for several years and adds her talent with her astonishing beading.

Las Doñas de la Corte supports the Coastal Bend Day of Giving
In addition to all of the time-honored Coronation traditions, Las Doñas de la Corte is also proud to be a partner with the Coastal Bend Community Foundation in supporting our South Texas community. Through the Coastal Bend Community Foundation, Las Doñas encourages giving in honor of court participants.
Over the past seven years, with the generosity of family and friends, donations to the Coastal Bend Community Foundation, in honor of Coronation participants, total more than $59,000 — a number that the Foundation matches and gives to support the needs of an extensive list of deserving charities. Areas of giving range from healthcare and human services to education, the environment, and the arts, all of which serve the needs of children, adults, and the elderly throughout South Texas.
We invite you to join us in this philanthropic effort to honor our Duchesses and participants in The Court of Resplendent Nature, while helping those in need in our community. All gifts are tax deductible. You may donate online at www.cbcfoundation.org or by telephone at 361.882.9745.
Driscoll Children’s Hospital
Las Doñas de la Corte and The Court of Resplendent Nature have partnered with Driscoll Children’s Hospital for a meaningful experience called Treasure Hour. The Duchesses and Escorts will build 100 care packages which include the court coloring book composed of black and white sketches of each court gown and train, crayons, card games, puzzles, various toys, and a personalized card for each child.
