…………………………..A307191……………Is the “BIG DEAL” for June…………It is a MOSS CREPE……FIT & FLARE TOP. It has a V-neckline and 3/4 sleeves. The length for the xxs is approx. 27 1/2 inches. There is also a very slight high/low hem…..only about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches. It’s hardly noticeable, but just makes the top a little more graceful as you turn, plus a little extra coverage. There are bust darts for shaping. There is also a horizontal seam from which the “peplum” hangs……..This seam is raised from the waist line, and for the xxs is approx. 14 1/2 inches down from the high point shoulder [the point where the shoulder and the neck meet]. I consider this a raised waist seam. Why do I think it looks better for this style seam to be raised? It is always a better proportion when the “skirt” part of the garment is longer than the bodice. It is more slenderizing. When the seam sits closer to the waist it can accentuate the hips and the tummy areas. With the raised seam the flare can start a little higher which allows the garment to glide over these areas. This is not an extremely fitted top, but if you would like a closer to the body fit that is an easy alteration. You have the two side seams plus a center back seam to work with…..The Moss Crepe is a season-less fabric. It may not be the garment you reach for when you are going to spend your day outside, and the temperatures are well over 85, but if most of your day will be spent in the air conditioning, from house to car, from car to work or car to store, then this top is ideal. Moss Crepe is also the best travel fabric. It washes easily and packs like a dream………Above, I have the BIG DEAL top with my Ponte Crop pant in the Linen color, A302601, which is avail RIGHT NOW in many sizes. I believe this crop pant may be reordered for next spring, but until the order is in that is only the “plan” for now………………I chose the NEW INCA NECKLACE and PADDLE EARRING SET, J354004, to accessorize the new top and I think it’s perfect. The color above is GOLD OX. The oxidation adds black to the piece so all of the details are accentuated. It also gives the piece an aged look…..like something you found in the Souk in Marrakesh…….Both sides of the hanging pendant are exactly the same, so if it should flip while you are wearing it it won’t matter. In the close up of the pendant you can see the amount of detail there is in this piece. Even the smaller inner triangle is detailed in a mini version of the larger triangle. The earring [pierced only] is made from one of the hanging “paddles” of the pendant. If you already own the matching INCA EARRING, J354070, it will match perfectly!………You should know…..this TRIANGLE INCA EARRING is BACK IN STOCK in all colors!!!!! It’s fabulous with the pendant, but more importantly it is a wonderful statement earring on its’ own. This set will be avail in the GOLD OX, SILVER OX and COPPER OX, so there will be a color to go with everything you own……………………………………………………………………
…………………………enjoy………………..much Love……………………Louis
As I try to figure out which of these I should order, I realize resistance is futile. I’m getting them all. Moss crepe is my favorite year round fabric. And every single color is a must have. I can’t wait to get this home! <3 <3 <3
It’s beautiful and I love the higher waistline. I am short waisted and usually most peplums aren’t flattering. The cocoa and alabaster are on my list.
Dear Louis,
I want this top in every color! Thank you for your beautiful clothing!!
Best,
Pam
Louis, you are killing my budget this season!! This top is so me, a must have that I will wear a lot. I might just have to get all five colors.
I have to say, I was never into browns before, but you have converted me. I have and love the pecan top, will be getting this in cocoa, and am considering the tobacco dress. So perfect with your wood/brass necklace which I love. Looking forward to the Yosemite too, just have to figure out which length.
I’m also not usually a pink girl, but I love your pinks. I only pass if they are too cool/blue.
As usual, looking forward to your shows!
