'The Perfect Fabric' (excerpt from The Houston Chronicle)

Some 40 miles north of Uvalde on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, Dolores Vernor has crafted a business of mohair fashion. Her boutique, in a tiny commercial strip in Camp Wood, a town of just 800, is barely noticeable among the slight hills of the Nueces River Canyon. A sign above the door simply reads, "Mohair." Vernor emerges wearing an off-the-shoulder burgundy mohair dress. It's stylish and lightweight. "People who don't know about mohair think it's itchy," she said. "But the ones who get a chance to feel it are surprised." Inside, racks of mohair coats, shawls, sweaters and dresses in deliciously rich colors fill the space. Photos of Vernor's designs decorate the wall: Miss Universe 2004 in a black mohair shawl. Former Texas Gov. Ann Richards in a jacket resembling the state flag. Kay Bailey Hutchison and Hillary Rodham Clinton, both wearing Vernor's creations. "I always want to promote mohair. It's the perfect fabric. I can see a design in my mind, draw it and turn it into mohair." A native of Mexico, Vernor grew up sewing but initially worked as an accountant before starting her career in fashion. She was introduced to mohair by a woman in Comfort who made mohair coats. "I had been working with every fabric in the world, doing wedding dresses and party dresses, then I discovered mohair. There's just no better fabric." She says mohair responds to body heat. If you're cold, mohair insulates. If you're warm, it cools. "You don't even feel the weather when you're wearing it," she says. Her men's and women's coats sell for $100-$350; ponchos start at $100; scarves are $20. She also uses mohair to make clothes for juniors and children.

🤠✨ 2026 Contestant Highlight Series ✨🤠

Meet our first contestant, Addison Miller, who is competing for the title of Miss Rodeo Texas Princess!

“From the time I started riding, my parents knew I was hooked! The smell of the barn, watching the sunset on horseback, and riding with wind in my hair — it was freedom that many don’t get to experience.

I would feel blessed to use this platform to encourage the youth of Texas to see what makes rodeo the greatest sport on dirt — we still bow our heads to pray, remove our hats for Old Glory, honor our military and first responders, and encourage family fun.

I am passionate about connecting the public to the traditions of rodeo and the importance of agriculture. Whether I am behind the chutes or visiting schools, I listen, learn, and share my excitement of rodeo and our western heritage.

I would be honored to earn the title of Miss Rodeo Texas Princess and would represent the organization and western industry with integrity and grace.”

✨ Addison’s hobbies & memberships include:
• Blazing Trails 4H Horse Club
• American Quarter Horse Youth Association Member
• Texas Hill Country Sheep & Goat Organization Member
• Rodeo Sweethearts Equine Drill Team Past Member
• Extreme Cowboy Association Member
• Junior Future Farmers of America (FFA) Member
• Visiting Texas State Parks with her family and horse
• Dirt bike riding
• Traveling with her family (favorite destination so far: Finland!)
• Spending time with her animals — horses, Great Danes, cats, a parrot, and a ball python

ABOUT THE AUCTION ITEM: This heirloom quality coat or something similar can be chosen by the winner. "Known as the 'Diamond Fiber,' Texas mohair is world-renowned for its incredible luster, durability, and ability to hold the rich, vibrant dyes that make our Western heritage so colorful."--Texas Department of Agriculture

A native of Mexico, Vernor honed her sewing skills from a young age but began her professional life as an accountant. Her pivot to fashion ignited after encountering mohair through a mentor in Comfort, Texas, who specialized in mohair coats. Having worked with countless fabrics—crafting wedding and party dresses—Vernor declares mohair unmatched: "There's just no better fabric." She champions its versatility, noting how it adapts to body heat—insulating in the cold and cooling in warmth—"You don't even feel the weather when you're wearing it." Contrary to misconceptions of itchiness, she delights in surprising skeptics with its lightweight, luxurious feel.

Vernor's designs have graced icons, including Miss Universe, former Texas Gov. Ann Richards and U.S. Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison in her elegant creations.

"I always want to promote mohair, she says. "It's the perfect fabric. I can see a design in my mind, draw it, and turn it into mohair." Vernor's men's and women's coats range from $150 to $650, offering accessible luxury rooted in Texas mohair heritage. Through her passion and innovation, she has elevated this diamond fiber into timeless, stylish essentials.
