…………………….There’s a new FLOWER in the show, and it has the look of CHINESE PORCELAIN………….A347437 is the style number. The fabric you all know. It’s my poly jersey, the same as so many tops I have done in the past including the very popular OMBRE TUNIC, A263353…………..I do realize there are some who do not care for polyester of any kind, but the greater majority of you love it or it wouldn’t be as successful as it is. It is a beautiful, silky, cool to the touch quality, that preforms beautifully. It NEVER fads, wrinkles or stretches out of shape. It washes and drys quickly……perfect for travel. It will look new for as long as you wish to own it…….It does remind me of the silk jersey made popular by PUCCI………. This top has a jewel neckline and is approx. 26 inches long for the xxs. The sleeves are 3/4 length. As you can see in the photos above both sleeves and the left side of the garment have vertical DRAW STRING HEMS. You can adjust then as you wish. You may want them all drawn up or the sleeves down and just the bottom drawn up………or the opposite. I like the bottom drawn because it gives you a CURVED HEM, and instead of the bottom band going straight across the hip it curves up breaking the horizontal line. The Floral body of the top is basically black and white with touches of light grey. The border has two shades of green. The GRASS GREEN is the larger border and on top of that border is a small stripe of a paler green….just for a little more interest. It could have been all one color which would have been easier, but I’m never satisfied with “easier”……………………..You can’t help but notice the third of the COIN NECKLACES…………..I call it the “TREVI NECKLACE” due to the THREE COINS hanging at the center from glass beads. At the upper right is the photo of the “TREVI EARRING”, which is a separate purchase. The color shown is the VERDE….the colors of JADE….. I always like to offer my idea of a layering piece even in jewelry. In this case it is J390565, the faceted glass bead graduated station necklace in the Grass Green, Milk Glass and Black Jet. This necklace was designed to go with this top and with the ruffle front blouse, A347448. The greens match perfectly!………………………..enjoy……………………..much Love……………….Louis
Some of the flowers remind me of your lotus print from several years ago. I regret not taking a chance on the lotus cardigan because I loved that print. To your point, polyester and I aren’t on the best terms. I don’t have a great idea of which poly fabrics are more breathable.
Sierra, best to read the reviews and see what the ladies are saying, unless there is something to don’t want to take the chance of selling out.
Hi Louis
Will the dill and off white pants outfits, flowered tops bordered in hot pink with drawstrings be in your Monday show. I am so looking forward to purchasing. Thank you. So excited to purchase.
Yes….the flower top starts the show
This is so fresh and pretty, and I love the combination of colors as well as the print. I did buy a pair of the Trevi earrings in verdi ( after buying the whole set in the carmine as we discussed) because I love the green with the gold and wanted them for their own selves, but what I am planning on wearing with this charming top is a handmade 18″ necklace I found at the Ithaca Artists and Craft Show one summer that is made of vintage buttons, all in shades of white, that are layered to imitate flowers. It is unique and will compliment the top in a funky but beautiful way.
