………………………..This is my “work sketch” which the pattern makers work from. All measurements are for the first sample before the first fittings…..then the true work begins!
………………………….A new color………………TRUFFLE…………..and TWO new styles…………The WRAP OVER TUNIC, A287611 and CROPPED TROUSER, A287614. They are made in my CREPE GAUZE, a fabric I absolutely love, and I know many of you do too. It’s soft….it’s light weight, and has wonderful drape and flow. The tunic top has a V-neckline that I think you will all like. It’s not too high or low…..it has a youthful look. The sleeves are 3/4 length. This is a semi-fitted top. There are BODY SEAMS, front and back, from the shoulder to the horizontal seam. You shouldn’t be very concerned where the horizontal seam hits on your body. It is actually above the waist, but a little higher or lower isn’t going to make any difference, so if you are short or long waisted it won’t matter…..The bottom “skirt” is what gives the top its’ newness. I call it a wrap over? It’s actually a “wrap over” with a slight asymmetrical bottom. Look at the two photos at the lower right and you will see exactly what I mean, The top layer hangs slightly lower at the wrap “point”…..giving the top a newness and edge….It breaks the “horizontal’ line at the hip which is a good thing…The length is approx. 28 1/2 inches for the xs…..If you own anything in this GAUZE CREPE….the sleeveless dress, the trouser or the sleeveless tunic with the chiffon border….you know how comfortable, and light this fabric is. It has a slight crepe texture, and looks very expensive…….Definitely a high end look……The Cropped pant has its’ own sneak peek…….The WOOD BEAD, Acrylic, and Metal bead necklace in the ALABASTER is coming in April……..The total look is CHIC and SOPHISTICATED……upscale and totally DESIGNER………………………………………………………………………………………….

…………………………….The TRUFFLE pieces make great separates. Worn with black is a BIG CITY LOOK………..The CROPPED TROUSER is coming in a reg. length [22 inch inseam], A287614….and a PETITE LENGTH, A287615, [not sure of the measurement]. It has an elastic waist, trouser pockets, and a single pleat front which gives the pant its’ drape. If you loved the Moss Crepe Gaucho, you will love this new cropped pant…….It is unlined so it really is weightless and MOVES beautifully…….I know there are those of you that this pant might not be for, but if you think of it as a skirt look, and not a pant you may understand the look more…….A Black tank, and the Black/Gunmetal/Gold Seed Bead necklace brings the Truffle and black together perfectly……The BLACK STAND COLLAR Shirt/Jacket is new, but more about that later!…………………………enjoy…………much Love………………………Louis
………………………A column of………NAVY………..can take you from the office to dinner to any special occasion………This is n outfit you can wear any time of year…..In the winter with navy LINEA BODY tights and heels, shoe boots or boots…….in the spring with wonderful sandals or strappy heels…Mules would also look very of the moment…….Navy is such a great color to accessorize…………Gold, Silver and Gunmetal all work, but add color for a WOW look……The Seed Bead necklace in the Tangerine [two necklaces above], is a show stopper. Add the Gold Bold Hoop, J288005 and the chain bracelets, J159966, which are now on LAST CLICKS…..They are more than worth the price…..Remember, if you ever have trouble with metal platting colors just let me know and my jewelry company will take care of it……..The company, as many of you can contest, is really great!……If you own the Coral watch……more orange than coral…..it’s the perfect compliment, and adds a wonderful extra something special to your outfit……….Remember, wear the top and pant as separates……..They both look great with white, ivory or grey……………………..
