………………The Crinkle Gauze was another fabric I introduce in the April 2013 collection. When I found the fabric it “said” RESORT/SUMMER to me. It is a sheer fabric with this marvelous irregular crinkle texture. Since it is polyester the crinkle pattern is permanently set into the fabric with a heat process similar to creating a pleated fabric. It had a classic shirt and stand collar, and had a button front. The body FLARED out to give the shirt the airy floating quality I wanted. I new it would be beautiful caught in Island breezes….The kimono type loose sleeves were 3/4 length. The sides of the shirt were longer than the front and back…..It came in……WHITE…..TURQUOISE and BLACK…..This was one of Jac’s favorites. She wore it all summer long, and a top she favored to wear out to dinner. It looked great all buttoned up with a tank………or opened as a breezy shirt jacket.
Louis, I love this shirt. I have it in both white and black. I always feel very special when I wear it. Thank goodness I bought so many of your designs. I hope I have enough to see me through the end of my days, because there is certainly nothing that compares to your clothing on the market today – at any price.
