'Buffy' actress touting clothing line at Masters

Actress Kristy Swanson, star of the 1992 movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer, attended the Masters Tournament on Fri­day wearing a dress from her new fashion line of women’s golf attire.

Swanson launched the aDRESSitGOLF clothing line in March 2014 after her experiences playing in celebrity golf tournaments and searching for an outfit that suited women on the course. Women’s golf attire mostly featured collared polo shirts that lacked the style she wanted, Swanson said during her visit to Augusta National Golf Club.

“I wanted something very comfortable that dried very easy and packed very easy but was feminine. I didn’t want to look like a dude when I played golf,” she said.

On Friday, Swanson, 45, wore a sleeveless, patterned dress with black, gray and white stripes and red flowers. The dress hit above the knee and had a small pocket on the lower back to hold golf tees or a glove.

Swanson acts in two to three made-for-TV movies a year, and she is producing two films this year. She also starred in The Chase with Charlie Sheen in 1994.

The idea to design women’s golf clothes began when she wore a casual, everyday dress to play in the Murray Bros. Caddyshack Charity Golf Tournament. The dress was designed by friend Eva Varro.

“Everybody went over the top crazy about it to the point that it really caught my attention.” Swanson said. “I thought maybe there’s something to this.”

She teamed up with Varro to design the aDRESSitGOLF label. They adapted some of Varro’s designs and incorporated new designs for dresses, pants, shorts and tops in colorful patterns.

Swanson also attended Thurs­day’s opening round, her first time at the tournament. She was with her husband, Lloyd Eisler, an Olym­pic figure skating medalist, and other friends Friday.
