…….You have already had a taste of……LINEA LEISURE……….and from the sell out of the tunic, and the reviews, it looks like you approve…….The second style I am previewing is…..THE LINEA LEISURE CARDIGAN, A262035…..First up…….It is important to discuss the FIT of the Linea Leisure cardigan…….As a group….consisting of my fit team and QVC’s fit team, we made the decision that the Linea Leisure jackets would be closer in size to what you would find in B&M stores…..What does this mean for you…….It means the fit is slightly smaller and closer to the body…..less BOXY….QVC usually likes a generous fit…..Before you say OH NO…..it is important to know we are still fitting on the same fit model we always did so the change isn’t drastic….it still has to fit you! I would say that you should read what the measurements are before purchasing. If you have certain body issues like a large chest or hips you may want to size up one size…but….before making that decision PLEASE go over the measurements carefully and compare them to things you own and love the fit of…I know from things you have said to me, some of you like a smaller fit and some an easier fit…..so it is important to read the “click here measurements” to get your ideal fit…..Why the change? because we felt baggy or shapeless Leisure clothes was not the way to go especially in leisure fabrics…….that can easily give you a sloppy look……. We think this is a more youthful fit without being tight or inappropriate…..THE CARDIGAN in the pictures above is an xxs….I usually get xs samples. The length is approx 27 1/2 inches for the xxs. The cardigan has long sleeves and a classic jewel neckline. There are eight SIGNATURE BUTTONS down the front. These are new buttons made especially for the Linea Leisure Line. They are DYED TO MATCH, and have a rim with Linea Leisure etched into the center of the button….it’s very subtle, but gives a “signature”to the pieces. The fabric of the first Linea pieces is the same COTTON/SPAN KNIT that I have been using for years , and the same fabric as the tunic that just sold out….These first Leisure pieces do have your normal labels, but we are looking into printing them on the Leisure group going forward…….The color above is………..NAVY……….Linea Navy…….The jacket has the “LINEA PATCH POCKET” with the inserted BAND for easy entry. Of course these pieces are unlined for total COMFORT and STRETCH…….Personally, I do not like this jacket all buttoned up! I would either button the top one or two and leave the rest open, for an easy casual look……..button from the top to the waist and then leave the bottom open, which is a more dramatic look, or just button two or three from the waist area up for a more cinched in look…..anyway you choose, depending on how you feel that given day, leave some buttons open. I really don’t like the bottom buttons BUTTONED across the hips…..In the photos above I have the jacket with the matching shell [which I will discuss in a following sneak peek], and the LINEA LEISURE PULL-ON PANT….The pant will be avail in a regular length, A262070, and a petite length, A262072….The inseam for the slim leg reg. length is approx. 30 1/2 inches. It has a full elastic waist and the LEG OPENING is approx. 6 1/2 inches..There are pockets!!….NAVY, BLACK and WHITE are your choices…..With the Leisure clothes I like jewelry that is fun….such as THE FISH PENDANT….With the navy….the SILVER FISH WITH THE BLUE EYE and YELLOW EYE, J288023 looks great…..I also love the ENAMEL LINK LINEA WATCH, J277885, in the BLUE, WHITE or CORAL, which is actually a SUNKIST ORANGE!……………………………enjoy………………………..much Love……………………Louis
