THE PORT MIDI DRESS”

pinky1

…………………..Are you ready for the PERFECT MIDI DRESS?????……I would think so, especially when it’s made in everyone’s favorite….MOSS CREPE……..Now for the GOOD NEWS! The style number for this dress is….A294606………but……..it will also be coming in a PETITE LENGTH, and the style # is…..A294711………It always takes a lot of discussion and cajoling to get anything in a petite accepted…….but not for this one. We all agreed this dress had to be done in a petite length, and I’m happy to bring it to you……………..The color above is in my new………PORT……….which is the darkest deepest wine I will be doing. Did I say this is the season for all shades of WINE? You will be seeing many from me. You already saw the wine BOOT CUT pant, which will have coordinates. Port will also have its’ own little story to tell……It is a rich saturated color, and absolutely gorgeous in the MOSS CREPE…………The dress has long sleeves, and a scoop neck. I would call it a semi fit thought the body and flares out nicely at the bottom…..not too much…..just enough so it “walks” well…….IMHO, I think the dress is on the generous side, and since the Moss Crepe has a lot of stretch you should pay attention to the measurements. If you are between sizes and lean to the smaller of the two…..you may want to size down one….. For all of you who never wear a dress…..this might be just the one to convert you………It’s the best travel dress and will become your go to for all and every occasion. If you want to make it look very casual, try a white or ivory Tee shirt under it, and try a sporty belt……maybe hip slung. Also, my new sleeveless Turtle Neck under the dress will give you a whole other look…….a little bohemian…………A pair of boots at any heel height will be great depending on the “look” you’re going for…Dark tights and a fabulous shoe boot is another terrific alternative….Jackets, and cardigans…..you bet….from jean jackets to blazers to leather jackets [I showed this dress in NAVY on Jac with the navy  leather Moto jacket]……This is an ACCESSORY DRESS……….The perfect backdrop for all of your special Linea necklaces….Try all of them….they will all work. The Seed Bead necklaces, the Aztec, the Trapeze [coming back], the Ribbon link necklace, and Mardi Gras [coming back] will all look splendid……..Above, is the new “INDIA” pendant and earring set which will be on my August 25th, 6:00pm QVC2 jewelry show, and it’s FABULOUS……………..NOW……this is IMPORTANT…………….I will be showing this dress on August 4th on the MORNING SHOW which starts at 7:00am. I don’t know what time I will be on, but I’ll keep you posted!…………I know you will love this dress, at least I hope so…………………enjoy……………much love……………..Louis

    You’re killin’ us with this collection this year.

      I just received my two midis – medium petite in navy and port. These dresses are fantastic! I have your moss crepe skirts and even came back for another black one – to always have a spare on hand.
      These dresses sold out in the blink of an eye. PLEASE bring them back and add deep forest green and dark chocolate to the mix for Fall.
      Thank you Louis…these dresses are sooooo flattering and fun to accessorize!

  2. Carol B

    Like the dress. However, the colors are not flattering for me. I will probably order the black and accessorize with color around my face. If it is re-ordered, please consider warm, earth tones. Thanks for listerning

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Carol, what do you consider to be warm earth tones?

      1. Carol B

        Rich browns, tans, brighter side of olives. Rich oranges and gold (however, I wouldn’t think they would be popular in this dress. I think the first colors listed would have a chance. Thanks for asking.

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Dear Carol……..you like tough sell colors…LOL! Bright Olives, Oranges and Gold…..I love them all, but most women run for the hills…..I can tell you orange, olive, yellows and greens are predicted to be stron spring 2018 color so you aren’t far off. It’s a matter of which shades. is a big color

          1. Carol B

            How about a shade of brown? Thanks for responding. Looking forward to Spring.

            1. Louis Dell'Olio

              I always thing brown is good, but I was surprised when the ponte straight leg pant sold out in reg and petite in BLACK, but all of the espresso brown pants in both lengths and sizes remain? I’d like to hear views on browns!

  3. Karen in WA

    Louis, love that fabric! Is there a waist? Does it come in numbered sizes, or S-M-L?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Karen, it come S,M,L. There is no waist seam but there is a shape to the dress. It follows the lines of the body.

  4. Casey (aka KcFoxy)

    Absolutely marvelous…plan on ordering all 3 shades in favorite colors, length and fabric. Will go so well with many, many LDO toppers such as Composition jackets, Moto jacket, cotton zip-front jackets, suit jacket separate, WS cardigans! Ideal for upcoming Fall Cruise. Hope my bounty of new jewels will arrive before Sail Away 🙂

  5. Susan (aka Carlytwila)

    Louis,
    Do you think the plum moto jacket would blend well?
    I love this dress in all colors!!

      I like how what you’re thinking!

    Grace, I am with you. I cannot say “no” to something that has achieved my idea of perfection. First of all, it is a dress. But it: comes in a midi length that is scaled for petites; has a scoop neck; comes in two of my favorite shades; and is somewhat fitted. This dress is DIVINE!

    1. Grace

      Goldie, I couldn’t agree more–doesn’t get much better. Definitely a “yes” dress! Covers everything on my wish list. Now, I’m thinking ahead & hoping it sells out and gets reordered in desert sand and celadon <3.

      1. Carol B

        Me also.

  7. Grace

    LOVE this dress! So perfect in a favorite fabric and length. I’ll be getting all three colors.

  8. Laura

    Marvelous! Port and Navy for me. Perfect dress.

  9. Melissa

    Beautiful!! Port for me.

    1. Hi Louis

      I’m also “eyeing” the beautiful Port , am wondering if the Aubergine Suede and Knit jacket from a few yrs. ago would work w/ the dress ?

  10. Seka

    Oh WOW, Louis! The PERFECT Dress! And Moss Crepe – LOVE it! All three colours are exceptional!

    Do you know the length, please.
