The third color of the GAUZE KIMONO, A233848, is ………..SEAFOAM…………….There are very close up pictures of the fabric so you can see the ripple effect of the fabric….reminiscent of rippled sand on a beach. I really should have steamed the Kimono before I took photos of it, but the packing creases show up more in the pictures than they did in real life…..LOL…… I purposely chose black as the under garments so you could see that the fabric is slightly transparent, but it looks very gossamer and natural……….perfect over a little black dress or a T shirt and leggings……..dress it up or down……let it work for you……..a perfect cover up for your next cruise. All the details and measurements you may need are already listed on the Linea site. The look should be relaxed, easy and generous…..YOU DO NOT WANT THIS TO LOOK SKIMPY……so order your normal size……order down at our own risk!………………………………………………………………….enjoy……………..much Love……………Louis

The length of the Feather Jersey REGULAR pant, A233967 is 31 inches on the flat [laying flat on a table]. The petite length is 28 1/2 inches. I do believe however, they may hang longer when they are on the body…..not sure of that.

The FEATHER JERSEY COWL NECK TOP, A233957, & CARDIGAN, A233955, above comes in four wonderful colors……………………….the first is…………………………..FLAMINGO…………………………………………………………

The FEATHER JERSEY cowl neck is a sleeveless top and has a built in TANK for modesty purposes….so you can bend over without the worry of exposing yourself. The center hem of the draped cowl has a WEIGHT attached so you just drop it to the inside, between the tank and the fabric of the cowl, and once you have the drape of the cowl the way you like it….it will stay in place. Many deep cowl neck tops drape down to the waist, which can often look unflattering……my cowl neck has an empire seam…..what does this do? It keeps the cowl controlled and doesn’t allow excess fabric where you don’t want it……around the mid section. If the top is a little long for you….not a problem…..it is easily shortened or you can manually ruche it up and drape it the way you like, and it WILL stay in place…..though I think the length is the perfect proportion.

The FEATHER JERSEY cardigan is the perfect SUMMER coverup……..because it is WEIGHTLESS….well almost weightless. There are stitched down pleats at the back of the neck that release at the shoulder seam to create a wonderful fall of flowing draped fabric. The Feather Jersey moves GRACEFULLY and has the FLUIDITY of matte jersey. In the photos above I have the two pieces paired with the A233967/A233968, SMOKE FJ pull-on pant.The A233969, short pull-on FJ skirt also comes in the FLAMINGO, which will give you a BEAUTIFUL THREE PIECE outfit………….if you are looking for just the right something for that special occasion that is coming up, I think this can be the perfect answer. If you have travel plans and you know you will need something a little dressier, this is it. If you have to be at work all day, but you have to go out immediately to a special function….wear the smoke pant into work……a quick change into the matching skirt and you have a wonderful two piece dress look with a matching cardigan….all in the beautiful FLAMINGO color…………..scroll down for more Flamingo pics………………………………………………………………enjoy…………much Love…..Louis.

The Feather Jersey COWL NECK TOP, A233957 and the CARDIGAN, A233955, in the flamingo is featured above with the FLAMINGO SHORT PULL-ON FEATHER JERSEY SKIRT, A233969. This time I have taken the cardigan and WRAPPED it AROUND THE BODY and tied it in the back…..creating a FORM FITTING draped top. I have also taken the SMOKE tank and paired it with the Flamingo pieces to create a separates look……some gunmetal jewelry will pull it all together. The FLAMINGO is truly a marvelous color that has it’s own special glow………..enjoy…………..much Love…………….Louis

Another wonderful color that the COWL NECK TOP, THE CARDIGAN the SHORT SKIRT & PANT are all avail. in is the …………..HEMP…………………wear it with the NAVY….the OLIVE…..or the SMOKE, as featured above, for a mix and match look….or…..ALL HEMP, for that tonal head to toe COLUMN OF COLOR. This can take you right through the SUMMER into the FALL…..for those of you who live in the south…..you will enjoy wearing these pieces  ALL YEAR LONG…………………………..much Love, Louis
