The FEATHER JERSEY MAXI SKIRT will be avail in a regular length, A233970, and a petite length, A233971. The skirt is pull-on with a full elastic waist. The waist band has a top stitch through the middle to avoid and “flipping” of the elastic. The shape of the skirt is a modified TULIP……….meaning it has a slight shape or tapering like a pencil skirt and then has a slight flare to the hem, which gives the skirt a graceful movement and flow. Why does this shape work better?? When you have a simple, long A-Line skirt there is more fullness at the top of the skirt, and it can become too much fabric when you wear it with longer tops………the tulip shape gives a better line for ALL SIZES. The skirt is half lined with a stretch fabric for maximum movement. You all know the properties of FEATHER JERSEY……it’s light weight, very drapy and is easy care and easy to pack. You can wear it as casual as you like or as dressy as you need, and it can certainly be worn 12 months out of the year, though I wouldn’t think it would be your choice when it’s 110 degrees and humid……other than that …..yes. What you can see in the photography is how beautifully it drapes, what you can’t tell is how incredibly light it is. The colors above are SMOKE and NAVY for the skirts and HEMP and NAVY for the tops. Of course, there are tops in SMOKE as well………………I know this will be a useful addition to your wardrobes………scroll down for more pictures……..enjoy……..much Love……….Louis
Louis,
Can you please bring back more of the lace dresses? A233180. I got the lace jacket in black and really, really need the bamboo lace dress to go with it and they are all sold out!! Please, please bring back some more of these.
Any possibility these could be shorten when the maxi goes out of style?
Absolutely…..I would recommend boot length or lower calf length.
Louis,
Thanks so much for showing the Smoke and Hemp pieces together. It’s a beautiful color combination, and not one I would have thought of.
I also love the summer darks-this is the most flattering pallete for me, and it can be quite a challege to find lightweight clothing in darker colors.
Lovely work, as always1

Louis, these are fabulous! I’ve already ordered the tank and maxi in the navy and orchid and your styling here affirms my choices. I’m planning on wearing the orchid when Chris and I go to the Outer Banks for our anniversary. Now I’m going back to the QVC website to grab that cardigan. Can’t wait for the short skirt and pants. You have hit it out of the ballpark with this collection. Love the way these pieces bridge from casual to work. Well done, sir!

Dear Julia…..I am so pleased you “GET” this group of clothing! It’s another way of dressing, another attitude of dressing, but for me it’s all the same women…..just another side of her! Don’t women have many sides anyway! Now, what you said would make a great Forum statement.
