“THE CARAMEL BIG DEAL TOPPER”
……………………This Oct I am introducing the last BIG DEAL of the year…………..The BIG DEAL TOPPER, A389959………The topper is made in the TCF, so it is very structured and beautifully tailored. When Elaine, the wonderful woman who I have been working with for the past 20 plus years, saw the finished production jacket she called me and told me it was absolutely beautiful. Elaine is not one to pat herself on the back, so I knew it must be fabulous…..and it is. The silhouette is simple, but there are many subtle details that make it wonderful….As I said the jacket is made in the trench coat fabric, so you know how precise it looks. The topper is approx. 32 1/2 inches long for the size 4. If you feel you must shorten it there are approx. 3 1/2 inches at the bottom before you get to the zipper. This will not hurt the look of the jacket because you would wear the bottom unzipped anyway…..It is numerically sized. It has a V-neckline that for me has the perfect depth. It works with many styles of collars from a classic jewel and turtle neck. to all types of shirt collars, and the knew wrap neck collar was designed and fitted to work perfectly with the Topper……..The topper has a 2 WAY ZIP so you can style it anyway you like. I always like it unzipped at the bottom. How high up is up to you. With all 2 way zippers you must always pay attention and make sure the zippers are “anchored” correctly before trying to zip them. Sometimes new zippers can stick a little. I always suggest running a bar of soap up and down on the zipper…..This is a trick my mother taught me years ago with Ivory soap….The topper has PRINCESS SEAMS and BODY SEAMS from the center of the shoulder to the hem of the jacket which give the topper its’ graceful shape……There is a hidden pocket in the Princess Seam……The back has a panel for shaping so the back doesn’t get boxy…..This topper has the classic Linea shoulder line created with a should pad and shoulder filler……………It is completely lined in satin. This topper was meant to be worn as you would a blazer, but it can also be worn as a light spring topper/coat….Remember the trench coat and the riding jacket were done in the SAME fabric…………Above, from left to right is the Caramel Super Ponte pant with the new Caramel split collar WK sweater. The Gypsy coin necklace looks incredible on it….The new Ivory classic TN looks fresh and clean with the caramel Fez necklace…….For some print fun both the Caramel Ombre Leopard print and the Caramel Cheetah print tops work perfectly……..As for bottoms you can basically wear almost anything from long and short WK skirts, the pencil skirt in the TCF, slim pants, crop pants and boot cut pants which are above in the Caramel. With the print tops I have the Walnut jean and the black slim pant….The faux suede pants look great too……………….enjoy exploring all of the tops and bottoms you already own……………………………….much Love………………………Louis
