……………..THE BLACK MOSS CREPE RUFFLE SKIRT………A391010, is a fabulous fun skirt to add to your Linea Wardrobe. Again, as the three piece outfit is is simply stunning. It has an edge to it that fashionistas will love…..Naturally being in all BLACK makes it perfect…….It will be avail. in one length only. From the bottom of the waist band it is approx. 34 inches long for the XXS, but we don’t grade the length on this type of skirt. If you need to shorten it there are three possibilities……One is to roll the elastic waist band of this pull-on skirt….two, have it shortened from the top, which is not a major alteration for any seamstress. or tailor……and the third is shorten approx. one inch from the bottom since the ruffle doesn’t come to the bottom….There are two ruffles, approx. five inches wide. The top ruffle is asymmetrical. It starts at the low hip and descends to the opposite side. The bottom ruffle goes straight across the bottom ending approx. one inch from the bottom hem. Again, the ruffles are laser cut so they drape and move beautifully………The way to think of this skirt is it’s a black midi skirt and that’s it…..Why? because this skirt can be worn with anything you would wear a plain black midi skirt with!…….Above, you can see just a few of the possibilities…….Starting at the left…..the black lurex sweater, the vintage white cotton wing collar shirt, the ivory blouse with the ruffle cuff, the white WK TN and the black blazer. For spring/summer….add a tank or tee and a sandal……a fabulous necklace like the Samburu…….Another fun way to wear the black skirt is with the black or pine TN and the black/pine tartan blazer………What I think really works for many of you is this is NOT an overly “ruffle-y” skirt. It’s actually a pretty basic, slightly A-Line, black Moss Crepe skirt, and easy for anyone to wear   I know if you try the skirt you will have lots of fun wearing it…….The coordinating tank, A391009 is a must have to match either the cardigan or skirt, and on its’ own. This is a cut and sewn knit fabric garment…….not a sweater. It has PRINCESS SEAMS front and back with a modest scoop neckline. It is approx. 24 inches long for the XXS……The neckline and armhole are finished with narrow facings which keeps it smooth and flat……….. I can tell you without reservations….the fit and workmanship is superb!!!!!…………………..enjoy…………..much Love……………………..Louis

…………………..THE MIDNIGHT NAVY MOSS CREPE RUFFLE CARDIGAN. A391008………I saved doing most of my navy pieces for later in the fall/winter season, because I knew I would be doing a lot of black early, and because navy is always a good segue into early spring………..The first look  at the extreme left came about as a result of PLAYING! and it turned out to be my most favorite, because it works and it’s very unexpected! It is the vintage white cotton wing collar shirt [the collar works perfectly!] with BOOT CUT distressed jeans…..I added the cobalt Trevi necklace and Roma earring combined with the Amalfi necklace and I think it’s a fabulous combination……To me it’s special because most would not think to put these pieces together, and the final result is very modern!…At the extreme right is the PEARL WRAP OVER BLOUSE with the Midnight cardigan and the MIDNIGHT BLUE SEQUIN PANT! This is a great cardigan to wear with the pant. For less dressy occasions I switched out the sequin pant for the faux suede navy pant. The navy ponte pencil skirt makes for a very sophisticated SOFT SUIT when paired with the wrap over blouse and the ruffle cardigan……For a more spring attitude I added RED accents either with a red skirt or ivory pants and white jeans……The cardigan over an ivory dress….or any simple solid dress…….can be a problem solver…………..Who knew how versatile a Midnight Blue Ruffle Cardigan could be…..all you have to do is PLAY…………………………enjoy………..much Love………………………Louis

………………….Look at all the ways THE MIDNIGHT NAVY BLUE RUFFLE SKIRT can be worn…..from the entire ensemble to the navy lurex sweater to an ivory TN and navy blazer to the navy /red tartan blazer and yes…..with a JEAN JACKET!……..Day to night somewhat casual to super dressy you will definitely get mileage from the ruffle tiered skirt……….,….enjoy……………….much Love…………………….Louis

……………..I just kept playing and came up with the white shirt which looks relaxed and gives a casual vibe with the ruffle skirt…….the Ivory and Navy V-neck blouson sweaters…..the NAVY POLO sweater….and adding a little color the Vivid Pink blazer over a white shirt and the navy Moss Crepe tank……As you can see this skirt looks great with all kinds of sweaters even one of your WK swing sweaters could work or a bulky Irish knit pull over and or a cardigan will add a whole different flavor to the ruffle skirt……In the spring I can even see a navy/ivory striped “sailor” sweater from a past collection…….You really do have to play with what you have……..There are a million ways to wear this RUFFLE TIERED SKIRT………….enjoy…………….much Love……………..Louis
