……………………………THREE NEW PIECES are coming this February, in one of my most popular fabrics…………the GAUZE CREPE……….The LONG SAFARI SHIRT, A302565……THE TANK…….A302566, and THE PULL ON PANT, A302597 for the regular length, and A302680 for the petite length…….perfect for transitioning into SPRING…..SUMMER and EARLY FALL. Of course there are some areas of the country where you can wear this All year long……All pieces will be sized XXS through 3X………………The color above is………………….SANGRIA………………….
………………..THE SAFARI LONG SHIRT, A302565……………has all the details you would expect on a SAFARI SHIRT……The classic shirt collar with stand…dyed to match shirt buttons…….the epaulettes placed on a small shoulder yoke…….the double breast pockets and buttoned flaps………..the traditional long sleeve with buttoned cuff that can be rolled up, and held with a tab and button……side slits……….and of course BAND POCKETS!…..The entire garment is made to perfection and the top stitching is expertly done……..It is light and airy as all of the Crepe Gauze pieces are………The approx. length of the shirt is 38 inches for the xxs. I do not think this is overly long and should work for the majority of women. For very short women it may be mid calf or longer, but it is EASILY shorten. Personally, I would love it any length. As a separate shirt it would be a great accent piece to wear over many things you already own……DON”T BE AFRAID TO MIX YOUR COLORS…..even if it’s over something as simple as a white tank and black pant. Or wear the shirt and tank over black, ivory, white, tan, khaki, brown or linen pants…..just for an example…….The possibilities are endless.
………………..THE TANK, A302566….is no ordinary tank. QVC calls it a “swing tank”, but it really is just slightly A-line for hip ease. It also has side slits………However, this tank has BAND POCKETS, and the pocket “bag” is stitched through and through so there is no flapping around on the inside. Everything lays flats and clean. The shoulder straps are definitely bra friendly, and the scoop isn’t too deep at all……perfect for the warmer months…….The length is approx. 28 inches for the xxs. Again, this is a great accent piece to mix with many things you already own…..Just over a pair of Capri pants, a skirt or a pair of shorts, all coming this season, you will be ready for any and all occasions and weather conditions………Sangria is a wonderful saturated color, but don’t expect it to match other items in Sangria from the past……..Better to mix it with other colors, unless you plan to buy the companion pieces which will match.
………………THE PULL-ON PANT……is a slim-ish leg with a 7 inch leg opening. It is 29 1/2 inches long for the regular length due to the slimmer leg, so for my super tall ladies it may be more of an ankle pant, which IMHO, would look fabulous too with wonderful sandals, espadrilles and wedges……….Since the Safari long shirt and the tunic both have pockets we decided to keep the pant clean without pockets. The waist band has a full elastic with TWO ROWS of top stitching to prevent any rolling of the elastic on the inside…..It’s also a pretty finish if you should ever want to tuck something in or where it with a bodysuit……………For all of you who love that COLUMN OF COLOR, which is becoming a stronger and stronger trend on the fashion runways, these tree pieces will slenderize and keep you cool. For me this is the best kind of Spring/Summer layering.
………………The Necklace and Earring set………………I call……..POMPEII, and came from my Anne Klein archives. The style number for the SET is J352559…. I have never seen this piece on ebay or anywhere else, but I have noticed that TRUE Anne Klein Couture pieces can go for hundreds of dollars……This necklace is call SANGRIA and Russian Gold. It is approx. 39 inches long with a 3 inch extender…..The earring is pierced, and is also in the Russian Gold. The necklace consists of an asymmetrical layout of RESIN MEDALLIONS, both clear and frosted, and Russian Gold metal medallions…….When shopping on ebay or anywhere else, do not be fooled with items that say “Couture”. Unless it has the little metal oval attached to the piece that says Anne Klein Couture…..it is NOT. I have see many Lion pieces that say Couture. I never did a Lion piece for the Couture line. Those logo pieces were done on the Anne Klein ll line only…….The necklace will be avail in the Sangria, Blue, Aqua, and Cyprus, all with Russian Gold……..They have been delivered to QVC this month, but I never know when they will be posted……………I know for all of you Crepe Gauze lovers, these will be welcomed additions to your collection………They will be sold on Feb 17th on the 7:00am show, regular channel with Leah Williams…………………………………………………………..
……………………..enjoy……………………much Love………………………..Louis
Hi Louis. Well, as we say here in the sunny south…”bless her heart ” . WOW. She’s lucky the Linea Ladies don’t hire and fire!:)) Thank you for the magnificent new gauze crepe. Have sangria coming and after seeing Maria, had to have black..more black. Also ordered my PPNBCP in alabaster and black.Further,a new flounce top in alabaster to wrar with them now that getting too warm for my leather/knit jacket. Now..just scouting the Cancun, Cozomel and Pompeii peices to dazzle. Love you and LINEA!!!
P.S. now if I can just learn to type…or put on my glasses before submitting..typos..wear, Cozumel, pieces. Sorry. Have a great day!
Ordered the crepe pieces. Thanks for the petite pants. Let’s fire your hostesst She was an embarasment.
Beryl, I honestly felt badly for her. She was so nervous. She started at 2:00am. She was so upset with her performance she came to me after the show to the Green Room and apologized. I told her not to worry about. There are much worse things in life that could happen. She just needs more generic shows before the give her a designer show. I did hear her call me Dell’Oreo…..I’ve been called worse….At least I like Oreo cookies……haven’t had one in years. Maybe I should treat myself to some?
Louis, Once again your kindness shines through. I’m sure she appreciated that.
Looking forward to my sangria pieces and your next show.
Elaine
Is that the correct number for the Petite pants? A302680? Thanks again.
yes that is correct for the crepe gauze petite pant. I believe the Super Ponte BC pant in petite is now posted.
I have been waiting for new items in this fabric. I love it because it is wash and go, still looks good at the end of the day, and feels light as a feather. I like the saturated new colors. Louis, thanks for bringing this fabric to us in new styles. The crepe gauze, especially in these colors, will be year round pieces for me. I’m thrilled and ready to order!
Everything is beautiful, Louis!! Thank you for your descriptions and advice.
Best,
Pam
Oh, happy, happy, joy, joy!!
Not only a red I can wear, but I love all three pieces. I can’t ask which color because I have to get them all. I will wear the heck outta these. But my fav – I will live in the safari shirts – which I will also wear as dresses. The stand collar, the button cuffs, the band pockets, the ability to belt – or not…the possibilities are endless.
Thank you, thank you!!
I was so excited, I meant the collar stand (not the stand collar). You know, the part that helps to keep your collar popped. Gotta have some attitude!
Also, love the fabric.
LOVE this look–all 3 pieces–right up my alley 🙂 Fabric is also one of my favorites. Now the hard part…which color?
Is it the same poly span as in the stand collar tunic and asymmetric cardi? I love a little stretch.
Yes
These are great! What’s the fiber content of the gauze crepe?
Poly span. There are lots of items listed in Crepe gauze if you want the exact content.
Fiber content of gauze crepe listed as 97 poly 3 spandex. For the Moss Crepe-my own personal favorite- it is just a tich more, 96 Poly, 4 Span. HTH.
The sangria pant looks lovely. I would pair it with pale pink or the white chiffon bottom tank. Will these pants be in numerical or letter sizing? Thanks.
all items are xxs-3x, and the pant comes in petite.
TY
