……………………….INDIGO LACE……even the name sounds exotic………………You know what I always say…………there is lace…………and then there is LACE! I was immediately attracted to this lace for many reasons, but the main reason was the NEW FINISH. I call it DENIM LACE……It has a slight distressed look that is achieved through the dying process……The lace has body, meaning it is not mushy or very soft…It needs to have this finish to create the pieces I have designed….The lace is machine washable. I would recommend turning the pant inside out and washing both items on the delicate cycle in a lingerie bag…..The LACE JACKET, A349651, has a jewel neckline, a 3/4 sleeve and is banned with solid Indigo faux de Chine around the neckline, the sleeve bottom, down the front and around the bottom. The jacket has BODY DARTS front and back to give the jacket a subtle shape…The jacket is UNLINED..It is not boxy…..The size “4” jacket is approx. 25 inches long…..The LACE PANT, A349652, for the reg, and A349997 for the petite, is a pull-on pant style which has an approx. 9 inch leg opening for the size 4….Th elastic waist band and lining is made in a STRETCH TRICOT KNIT…so it is smooth against the skin…The lace isn’t a stretch lace, but due to the openness of the pattern and the “strings” connecting the pattern there is a certain amount of give….not stretch……The solid pieces above, the FAUX DE CHINE TANK, A349650, and the crop trouser pant in INDIGO, A349647 for the reg, and A349648 for the petite, all coordinate with the Indigo lace, and are great pieces on their own. The crop pant is in a new fabric, and is a heavier weight from the tank….but still light and has lots of drape. It has a zip front, pockets and an part of the waist band is elasticized…… It doesn’t stop there……Indigo jeans, and jean jackets, white or ivory tops and bottoms will all look great with these pieces. Wear the tank and lace pant with an ivory blazer for a wonderful summer look. A white Tee over the lace pant, and a pair of flip flops is a wonderful island look. The LACE JACKET with a white tank and white jeans will make a cool summer look…It looks great belted with a navy belt…………………The VENETIAN NECKLACE and EARRING set was created to go with all the lace colors, and is the perfect compliment………….I know your first thought will be ….”these are dressy pants”……..If you don’t consider the other possibilities….like a white tee and sandals for day wear……you will be missing half the fun of wearing these lace pieces……..On the other hand the “suit” would be perfect for any spring/summer/fall/winter occasion coming up…….Mother of the bride or groom?……………..enjoy…………………………much Love………………………………Louis
