“The Sequin Dress” is style number A229711. As many of you know it is already posted on the Linea site for early selling and was featured in the “Insider Magazine”, so the quantities are already diminished. This will be the very first item sold on PM Style, so make sure to tune in EARLY or you will miss it!!!!!! The colors are VIOLET…..BLACK. This is a brand new fabric for me……it is a re-embroidered knit. You can see in some of the closer photographs that the tiny sequins are sewn on with a thread that has tiny spaced out loops in it. For you knitters you sometimes see a mohair yarn done this way. What this does is separate the sequins so the effect is more of a TWINKLING of sequins and not a sheet of sequins. The dress has a short sleeve and all the other measurement you would need are already posted on the Linea site. The dress is lined in a stretch fabric so the dress is super comfortable. There is also a back zipper ans small hook and eye. The fit follows the shape of the body without being tight, and it is certainly not boxy. I think it fits beautifully and I would suggest you order your normal size. If you are looking for the perfect jacket to wear over the dress I would suggest the textured weave jacket in the black or violet which is perfect with either dress. The A229475 violet jacket in the herringbone boucle, from the last show, is a perfect match. For something a little off beat the violet/black and ivory/black Hounds Tooth check jackets also work perfectly. For an edgier look……..the black leather blazer with the knit sleeves and the sequin dress is HOT!!!!! Last but certainly not least …….the new faux fur “Broad Tail” zip front jacket is too much for words over the dress! I am sure you already have too much hanging in your closets that will be perfect over these simple…..but chic dresses…….a satin trench coat worn open is always a fantastic look.
I know you are going to ask about the BEADS so this is the story. Number one, I do not have the style numbers yet. They have been delivered and are in the QVC warehouse,…..when they are going to be posted I am not sure. I have three different necklaces on the black dress photo. One is a plain black jet necklace, the second is a vintage necklace with spaced out jet beads…………..the third is the LINEA NECKLACE! It consists of three types of beads all in the same round faceted shape. There is a black jet bead, a gunmetal bead and the third bead is a crystal bead…..but…..half of the bead is coated in SILVER so you get the sparkle of the crystal AND the silver. I will be showing this necklace in the show [3 STRANDS] ……..you know I like abundance!!!!The necklaces are the same length as the long pearl necklaces so you can wear it single and super long, doubled, tripled and for you swan neck ladies….even four times around. I have to say I do like at least two strands worn together, but that’s just me. The second combination is VERY SPECIAL and something you will NEVER see out in the stores. It consists of very deep amethyst faceted round bead, an antique copper bead an an iridescent purple bead with copper high lights…………it is very unusual and very beautiful. It also looks great with your TEAL, VIOLET and TOPAZ boucle jackets. Along with the necklace there will be a 5 strand stretch bracelet……..just beautiful. With each new piece….. the quality is consistently there and I think my manufacture and I are really in sink with just what I expect each and every piece to look like. I tell them “it always has to be about the look and quality…..we will worry about the price later”. As I tell them…….” if I don’t like it…..the price is irrelevant!……..So, make something I will like FIRST!!”……………………………………..Enjoy……………..much LOVE…………..Louis
Louis,
I purchased the black necklace. When I opened the box, the necklace was in pieces.
I returned the necklace, of course, but it seems from looking at the QForum, that many are experiencing the same problem.
Thank you for your lovely clothing, but I am hesitant to purchase any jewelry.
Dear Pris,
I have just gotten back from vacation and have read your message. I am looking into exactly what the problem is with this necklace. Whatever it is it does not seem to be happening with the bracelet. Everyone seems to like the actual beads very much. I am guessing that there must have been something either wrong with the way they were strung, or packed in such a way as to cause extreme tension on the string. I can assure you this is an exception to the norm. For the most part, all of the jewelry I have sold on QVC has had 5 star reviews and has had very few problems.
Louis,
Stunning; what more can I say? Happy Thanksgiving to you and Jac both, as well as the “girls” 🙂

Dear Louis,
My black dress and fur jacket have shipped, and I will be stalking for the necklaces/bracelets like all the ladies, I’m sure. You are too much! I can’t remember if you are bringing coordinating earrings? Drive carefully while on the road tomorrow. I will settle down with a glass of wine in front of the TV with my sister who is visiting from France. We’ll be ready in plenty of time, prepared to be dazzled!

Understated elegance! I was on the fence as the picture posted on the website leaves a LOT to be desired. Your photos here have made up my mind – off to order!!! Cannot wait for the beads and bracelets to become available, too!
I hope life is returning to normal for you, Jac, and the girls. Many things for which to be thankful this Thanksgiving.
