The GAUZE KIMONO, A233848, is one of my favorite pieces in the May grouping. It is so darn CHIC! The fabric is a RAYON/NYLON blend and it has a very SPECIAL WEAVE and TEXTURE. The surface has a ripple effect that is achieved with not only the weave, but in the finishing process of the fabric. The attention that is paid to achieve just the right look makes this a truly designer quality fabric……this is FAR from run of the mill!. The color above is………….THYME……….a cool soft green. The cut of the Kimono is very ETHNIC inspired……with a wide band down the front and a unique pocket opening…… that one would find on djellabas. The fabric has a sheerness, yet it is not flimsy. It holds the shape and form well. In the photo above, from right to left………the THYME Kimono is over my white legging and WK tank with the ribs at the bottom……a great look for an island get away! The center photo may be a little more of a challenge and only for tall girls. It is the double pocket tunic in the OLIVE FEATHER JERSEY over the OLIVE FJ maxi skirt……an easier way to wear it would be over the FJ short OLIVE skirt as the next photo shows…..both BELTED and UNBELTED……. it’s a very up town look. Another alternative is the FJ olive T shirt and the short skirt. There are many colors that will work with this lovely shade of Thyme. As I said before …..it is a UNIQUE piece, and certainly an attention getter……scroll down for more pics………….enjoy………..much Love………..Louis
Gauze Kimona: ordered. The two gold necklaces are stunning, are we getting them?
They are vintage AK…..Don’t know if they can do them today without them being $200, which QVC would never buy, but I’m bringing them to my next meeting and we’ll see.
I’ll hope for the best. I’d love to have both of them.
Louis, these are all beautiful! I’m very partial to that lovely Thyme green, and black is a given … all I’d need is the cruise …
