……………………..The EYELASH PRINT bottom in the ALABASTER and BLACK is actually a……………….DOUBLE WRAP COULOTTE!…..A279518 is the style number…..When you have it on it looks like a skirt with a front wrap and a back wrap, but it is attached to pants….So there is no worry about a breeze catching the wrap and exposing your legs…..that’s not going to happen…….The pant portion of the coulotte is lined in the same tricot knit as the top. Due to the fact that the coulotte is made of layers of georgette it is a surprisingly light weight skirt……and there are …….POCKETS!……….The waist band is made in the same manner as my Crepe Gauze and Moss Crepe pull-on pants.. It has a full elastic with a flat front section, and the double stitch so the elastic does not twist…..The skirt/coulotte will be avail. in sizes xxs to 3x…….NOW….this is VERY IMPORTANT!!! Even though the skirt is an easy A-line shape and has a beautiful flowing silhouette….this is not a stretch fabric…….it has layers and is lined. IF YOU FOUND the Alabaster Crepe Gauze pant tight in the waist and had to size up one size then you should do the same thing here. Again, I had Jac try this on. My sample is xxs and she would take an xs. She did have to shimmy the skirt over her hips and did agree with me that sizing up one size would be a good idea…….I’ll say it again….the skirt is easy and not a problem, but I did find the stretch waist band to be on the small side. You all know what your bodies are like and if you are slight this will not be a problem, but if you carry your weight in the middle or hips you will need to go up one side IMHO. ALWAYS check out the measurements…..especially if they give an extended waist band measurement…..it should be bigger than you body hip measurement so you can get it on. Now that I have advised you about the fit….this is a MARVELOUS SKIRT/COULOTTE……..It measures approx 26 inches long from the bottom of the waist band, and if you want you can always wear the skirt a little lower for more length, but 26 should be fine for all…..for this particular style…….ANYTHING in Black, Lt Khaki, Lt. Tan or Alabaster will work as a top…For the more adventurous try a color top like orange, red, turquoise etc etc…Above, the new Alabaster swing cardigan, and the Black Rayon Jersey top, A252353, which I believe is on clearance………Black accessories are a MUST!!……………………………………………enjoy…………………….much Love………………………………Louis

……………………….One more thing! I love the look of the Light Tan WING COLLAR shirt, A253109, with the Alabaster/Black Coulotte…….The BLACK CLUSTER NECKLACE, J325473 elevates the look to something special and fabulous….a definite “runway” look for those who can……………This necklace in the black jet and CLEAR is on clearance……………….a unique collectible……………………………………………….enjoy…………………….much Love……………………………Louis

………………………………The Blue and Black Eyelash print coulotte looks wonderful with the WHITE WING COLLAR shirt, the BLACK CLUSTER NECKLACE, J317112, as well as the new BLACK MOSS CREPE TUNIC, A273862. This ladies is easy dressing…..this is sophisticated dressing…..this is for women who want to look like they spent a small fortune on their clothes. For women who’s taste level is NEVER in question……………….

……………………More on the Alabaster Swing Cardigan……..All alabaster is very dramatic for those occasions when you really want to pull out all the stops…. but….. BLACK, NAVY or CHARCOAL GREY  are colors you will wear as bottoms most of the time…….and don’t think there aren’t many colors you can’t wear under the new Alabaster cardigan…….from pastels like pale blue and aqua to neutrals like ivory and grey….to accent colors like tangerine, sherbet, hot pink and lilac…..it’s up to you to play…..By now you must have lots of Linea jewelry pieces to accessorize with. In the photos alone there are four different necklaces and that’s just a start…….The new necklace , dead center, is the LACQUER BLACK TRAPEZE NECKLACE, coming in Sept. If you were lucky enough to get the Lacquer Black Wire Cuff bracelet….they look wonderful together. The short sleeve WK ALABASTER in the ENR is all but certain to be reordered in the Alabaster and Black for this coming Feb. 2017. In the mean time an Alabaster WK TN will be coming sooner…………………….enjoy……………………much Love……………………………Louis

……………………..One of the most popular colors that I have done is……….ALABASTER……….It is one of those mystery colors that just seems to work for the great majority, while other similar colors do not. It has a life….a glow all its’ own, and the fact that it has a slight tint of pink instead of yellow or gray helps. It was a natural for me to offer one of my most popular WK styles….the SWING CARDIGAN, A267864, in what has become one of the most requested colors. If you own the Alabaster Gauze tunic with the georgette border and are still looking for just the right thing to wear over it….look no further…..I can’t help but exclaim how beautiful head to toe Alabaster dressing is……it’s just too CHIC for words!……..Under the cardigan in the photo is A267882, the short sleeve WK ENR sweater in the Alabaster which is sold out, so many of you do own it. I am working real hard to get both the Alabaster and the Black back for next Feb, so be patient…….The Alabaster Gauze Crepe pant, A276294 in reg., and A267864 in petites is still avail, but in broken sizes. For me it’s a MUST HAVE……There were some complaints that the Alabaster pant was smaller than the Black pant. I believe this was due to the lining in the Alabaster. It seems sizing up one size did the trick. It you are slight this does not apply………The “RIBBON RING NECKLACE” in the GOLD is brand new….so new I don’t have a style number yet! It will be avail. mid Aug………If you go to the Linea site you will see that the ALABASTER, the new TAUPE, and the repeat RASPBERRY cardigans are already listed, but say SOLD OUT…..Do not worry….they are NOT sold out…..They just haven’t been processed yet……..It’s a little early for my July sneak peeks to start, so I thought I’d give you a little hors d’oeuvres just to keep you satisfied……………………………………enjoy……………………..much Love…………………………..Louis
