A233180, is the LACE DRESS. Many of you have been wondering what this dress looks like, because many of you have that SPECIAL OCCASION coming up. What I loved about this particular lace when I saw it, in a pile of laces, was that it STOOD OUT. It wasn’t your typical lace pattern and for me, I could see it bridging DAY into NIGHT. It can easily be a dress you would feel very comfortable wearing to work, with your new BLACK WHISPER KNIT CLASSIC CARDIGAN casually tied around the shoulders. Accessorize it with the very new BLACK PATENT POINTY TOE SLING BACKS with the TEA CUP HEEL. The toe and the heel make all the difference…….add a great looking Black patent bag ……BIG BLACK SUNGLASSES, and it’s an EASY look that’s hard to beat. The exact same look can take you out in the evening and to any special event. I know many of you have weddings coming up and some are destination weddings. This is the IDEAL TRAVEL PIECE. It is 100% polyester and has a STRETCH lining. Turn it inside out and MACHINE WASH………Wrinkles do not exist! The dress has a back zip…..many won’t even need it, but it will come in handy when you do not want to mess your new salon do. For most, the dress will sit somewhere above the waist……frankly it won’t make much difference if it sits above, below or at the waist depending on whether you are average, long or short waisted. The dress measures approx 40 inches long, and if need be, or you just prefer it shorter…..it’s an easy alteration…..turn back and stitch. The lining is slightly shorter than the lace dress itself……………………..The colors……………BLACK with a WHITE lining…………………..BAMBOO with a BLACK lining…………so it will be very easy to accessorize either color option….and they both look very different. The fit is body skimming. I would suggest you buy your normal size, as we NEVER fit anything tight. However, if you have a very particular body issue, you will know how to order. Don’t FORGET there is stretch! This dress has a very modern edge to it……..I love the way all of the seam allowances accentuate the CURVES of the dress……that detail is very PRADA-ish……..If you are looking for something UNUSUAL….something that doesn’t look like EVERYTHING ELSE………………..then I think this is for you…………….scroll down for more pictures………….enjoy………………much Love………………….Louis
Hi Louis
is the tied sweater the whisper knit v neck? love that look
Dear Marcia…..yes the sweater tied around the shoulder is the WK classic cardigan in Black.
I have 2 grandsons having Bar Mitzvahs this summer & this dress in the bamboo with a black jacket will be perfect for temple. I can always count on you, Louis to provide the most stunning clothes to fit my needs. I wore nurses uniforms for 46 years, but now that I am retired I am having a ball dressing in your designs. I get so many compliments & I always give you your due.I hope you love your work as much as all your Linea ladies do!
Louis,
I was just on the DVF (Diane Von Furstenberg) website buying me a new iPad case and clicked on to her dresses which I used to buy in droves in the 1970s. And there she had a lace dress and then I was on Nordstrom’s website and Kors has a lace dress. And, my dear, we all know your quality matches theirs, but the price difference is a world away. Thanks so much for all you give us in style, quality and brilliant fashion acumen. Your floral dress is gorgeous as are all your dresses. Your denim jacket is to die for. The whisper knit Kimono and v neck cardigans are a dream. Nuggets of fashion genius fill my closet. It is such a pleasure to be able to go to my closet and pull out a Linea piece that I know will stun my girlfriends.
LOVE this dress–it’s gorgeous, but it’s already sold out in less than a day. So disappointing…Will there be a re-order soon? Thanks!
Grace, the dress hasn’t gone on sale yet. If you type in the item number before it’s posted , QVC automatically says it’s sold out. If you try again after midnight on the day of the show, you should be able to order. Sometimes items are available for ordering before airing, and the Linea Ladies on QVC forum are great about sharing this information.
MINE!!! Now to decide on a color. I’m gravitating toward the bamboo/black. I’m glad we all won’t be going to the same wedding :-). Although this will also be great for summer concerts here.
Yay!!! The bamboo lace is definitely my kind of dress. I do agree that the lace pattern is something special, has more of a leaf rather than flower look, which I think is beautiful and different. Perfect.
The black lace dress with the white sweater is FABULOUS in the photos. Now I’m wavering on color. Beautiful either way.
Lovely, Louis! Thank you for this beauty-I can hardly wait to try this on. Thanks to dear Loren, I have a growing Linea collection that I wear all the time. Bravo!
