One of the best ways to transition into fall is will a sleeveless dress. A232339, is one of my favorite dresses that I presented this past Spring. It is a Polyester/Rayon/Span blend and the fabric is a JACQUARD Ponte Knit. A jacquard means the pattern is actually KNITTED into the fabric as apposed to being printed on top of the fabric. This gives the fabric a natural softness and drape…..there is nothing added on top that sometimes can create a stiffness to a Ponte knit. Ponte knits usually come either in wool or wool blends, or Polyester and poly blends such as this one. Rayon is the ideal fiber to mix with polyester or wool, because it drapes and hold dyes well. I love the OMBRE effect of the speckled pattern………something like a Robins egg. The cap sleeve gives some coverage, and for many is more flattering than a short sleeve…..if the short sleeve isn’t the right proportion it can be aging. Also, with this sleeve length you can easily wear a variety of cover ups…..from the very popular shrugs and boleros….to cardigans and kimonos….to classic jackets and and not so classic, as my gauze jacket below. The drawstring enables you to bring the dress in and give it as much shape as you desire…..or leave it looser for a more relaxed look…..either way looks great. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the three colors being offered….they all work off of BLACK……..come fall and winter…..wear it with a black turtleneck, black tights and boots………….it truly is a season-less dress……..enjoy…..Love…..Louis
Louis, I just adore this dress!
I love love love this dress! It’s a winner in any season.
I have the outfits you have been presenting and it helps to have these reminders about how they can be transitioned into fall.
You are the best! Thank you.,
