………………………………The second color combination for the STAINED GLASS WINDOW PRINT is……………….FUCHSIA…….Again, there are five different PINKS, ROSES and FUCHSIA. The line work is a dark BLACK BERRY…..and WHITE highlights the whole design……………….For a fun summer party, wear it with my WHITE CRUSHED GEORGETTE ASYMMETRIC HEM SKIRT….a pair of sandals….the necessary sunglasses….a bag, and your off……..Have Fun!……………enjoy………..much Love Louis

……….I think one of the fabrics that I am asked to repeat most often is the PEBBLE CREPE…..think A213621, the PEBBLE CREPE top with the ballet neck, 3/4 sleeve and pockets….which is also one of my most popular tops and has been reordered many times, and will be reordered again…..FYI…That top will look great with the new P.C Crop pant….The fabric is 70 % RAYON & 30% POLYESTER……The surface of the fabric has a slight irregular texture that I call “PEBBLE”. It gives the fabric a more CASUAL LOOK…………..Washable and easy to care for make these garments perfect for everyday wear and great to take away on trips…………………………………..

A255182 is the PEBBLE CREPE TUNIC……The color above is……..COFFEE BEAN……….The SABRINA neckline is reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn……..not quite a ballet nor a scoop….The length is approx. 30 inches for the XS……There are side slits…..and POCKETS…..The pockets are quarter circle patches with set in bands for easy and comfortable entry….NO BULK…..actually they are the same pockets as the A213621, tunic mentioned above……….beautifully made and beautifully stitched……..As the hem is perfectly straight….it is easy to hem if you need it shortened……..You can easily take off 2 1/2 inches without a problem…..a very easy alteration…………This is a top you can wear any and everywhere……..With a WK pencil skirt your are office, church, dinner ready……with my WALKING SHORTS, A254313, as shown above…..perfect for shopping or luncheon with the girls…..with the matching crop pant…will give you that wonderful COLUMN OF COLOR………..I’ve shown it with BLACK….but….COFFEE BEAN look great with WHITE, TAN, CHINO, TWIG and LINEA NAVY………………..Accessorizing is easy….think natural…..WOOD….TORTOISE…or COLOR such as RED and TURQUOISE….or as I have it shown above with my wonderful BLACK 6 STRAND NECKLACE, J290366…..which was just posted and already getting great reviews….I have it doubled, but that’s just me….I love the chunky look…..it really isn’t necessary, and it has a 3 inch extender if you do not want it close to the neck. It’s a terrific BLACK LICORICE NECKLACE, and they are not easy to find.

A255183, is the PEBBLE CREPE CROP PANT. I have done a P.C. Crop pant before which so many of you loved and pleaded with me to repeat, but the returns were too high to reorder, so lets hope the same fate doesn’t fall upon this one!! LOL……………..What some objected to was the wide leg width………so I narrowed it down some…..It s still easy and in no way a skinny pant…..These are meant to be languid and comfortable! They are a PULL-ON PANT with a full ELASTIC WAIST BAND, but since there is no stretch to this fabric the pant will come in NUMERICAL SIZES…the last pant did not….I think this will solve many problems with sizing……I highly recommend you order your normal Linea numerical size pant……These do not run large or small. I think the fit is very good………..The inseam is approx 25 inches long, and the leg opening is 7 inches…or 14 inches in circumference……..The COFFEE BEAN is NOT LINED and there is absolutely no need for one in this color………They are supper COOL to wear and I know will become a summer favorite……………………scroll down……………………………………………………………………enjoy…………much Love…………………Louis

SUMMER WHITE is the BEST…..Tan if you must…Tan TOWEL if you want……but a good tanned body worn with all  WHITE  just looks fabulous!……..I kept the collage really simple….WHITE or BLACK BOTTOMS……………….shorts….pencils all work…..even my RAYON/SPAN BLACK MAXI SKIRT, A252354, looks TERRIFIC….The INDIGO WILL LOK FABULOUS TOO….if you want5 that summertime NAUTICAL look……without the gimmicks……Loose and easy or BELTED…it’s up to you………….Again, the necklaces are all LINEA, A290366, for the short multi strand BLACK necklace….and J290357,  for the long matte/shiny and gold ball hand knotted bead necklace….there are two of each being shown above……The WHITE CROP PANT IS LINED!!!!, but not the top………It can be so easy to dress for any occasion and look like you really gave it a lot of thought…..only you will know!………………………….scroll down……………………………………………………………enjoy………….much Love ………………..Louis

………………………………………………………..Happy Memorial Day…………………………………………………………………………………..

……………….You have now seen the OPEN FRONT CARDIGAN WITH THE ASYMMETRIC HEM, A255142, and the TIERED SHELL, A255123, both in the CRUSHED GAUZE fabric……….The third and last piece I will be offering to you in this fabric this season is the LONG ASYMMETRIC HEM SKIRT, A255139……………..It is already listed on the LINEA QVC SITE so all of the fit and measurement details should be there…….This is a pull-on skirt with a full elastic waist band, therefore there is some gathering at the waist, but I kept it as minimal as possible. Without a zipper it still has to be big enough to get over the hips. I think you can see this very well in the photos above. The skirt is shorter in the front and dips at the sides. It is fully lined with the tricot knit that I always use. I find it to be the LIGHTEST and most OPAQUE stretch fabric that I can use for a lining…….The skirt and the lining BOTH HAVE SIDE SLITS on each side……….This is VERY IMPORTANT………For those of you who may have to SHORTEN the skirt…..it is VERY EASY, because the skirt has a STRAIGHT BOTTOM….it is not curved…..If it were curved….it would NOT have an asymmetrical bottom….All the sewers and women who have worked with patterns know what I mean. The operation to shorten this skirt is very simple and any good seamstress should be able to do it in an hour or less…………….I always like to give you options especially in summer skirts when I think skirts are worn most often because of the COOL FACTOR…….Long skirts have to be airy and breezy. I think this is both…………….Above, I have paired the WHITE skirt with my new WHITE BODY SUIT, A254576,  [the reviews have been excellent], and my WHITE DENIM VEST. Of course any color of vest will also look great. I have accessorized the outfit with my PALM FROND JEWELRY….the earring, the long necklace [both are sold out], and the SHORT PALM FROND NECKLACE which is still avail, but very few are left in the silver and gold……………..You can be as CASUAL or as DRESSY as you like wearing this skirt, and due to its’ wash and wear factor….it’s perfect for travel. For my BOHO lovers….I know you will love this skirt too. For those of you who the BOHO may not work for….this may be the answer…………….scroll down……………..much Love………………………Louis
