…………………….These two pieces, the TANK, A252353, and the SKIRT, A252354 in the RAYON/SPAN JERSEY………….are DEFINITE MUST HAVES!……These are season-less pieces that you will wear all year long. These washable pieces are the PERFECT TRAVEL pieces. These two pieces will be perfect for any & ALL OCCASIONS……Dress them UP…or dress then DOWN….you really can go anywhere in this tank and skirt…..Who doesn’t need the PERFECT TANK and LONG SKIRT……especially in………..BLACK…….These two pieces are….THE ESSENTIALS….the pieces you build your wardrobes around. In the winter you wear it with boots and throw a chunky cardigan or jacket, maybe my black leather blazer, over the tank and skirt…..in the summer….you wear your sandals, wedges…….espadrilles….take along a shrug………..make it your statement with the accessories you chose……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The TANK, A252353, has the perfect neckline and shoulder straps, wide enough for comfort, but still looks modern and young. What also makes this tank special is the way the neckline is finished. The armhole is PIPED, and most would finish the neckline the same, which is perfectly acceptable…but….I wanted THIS TANK to have a more DESIGNER look…. a dressier finish, so the neckline is faced with an 1 1/4 inch facing and a 1 inch top stitch. It lays absolutely flat against the body, and has a very expensive look. Actually, it is more expensive to finish this tank in this way. For all of you sewers out there you know what it takes to sew in a facing perfectly and what a challenge it is to do it with a stretchy knit!……The tank is approx. 23 inches long for the xs. I would definitely suggest to buy your normal size. This fabric is 96% Rayon and 4% Spandex, so there is lots of stretch. I have used this fabric many times…..the cowl neck tunic with the asymmetric hem, the body suit, the dance skirt etc etc…….As I always tell you…..there are all grades and weights and QUALITIES of fabrics and not all fabrics under the RAYON/SPAN UMBRELLA are equal! I have never had one complaint that this quality of rayon span pills or is too thin. The weight of this RAYON/SPAN is definitely heavier than most …..it is a QUALITY FABRIC, a DESIGNER QUALITY FABRIC…………………The BLACK BOLERO SHRUG above is my WK, A232520, and is just back in stock………..it really is the perfect proportion to wear with this TANK & LONG SKIRT………………………….
The SKIRT, A252354, is a PULL-ON SKIRT as you would expect, but since the fabric is so stretchy there is very little shirring in the elastic waist band….it is almost flat. This prevents any extra fabric at the tummy and rear…Why is this important?….because when you wear an over top, like the tank, it is nice and smooth. This is not a maxi skirt length….it measures 35 inches from the bottom of the waist band. There also is not a great sweep to this skirt…..just enough to fall and drape gracefully, as you can see in the photos. If you must shorten….it’s an easy alteration as this skirt has, and needs, no lining………I really can’t think of a more IDEAL long skirt….one I know you will wear for years and years………….my only suggestion would be………you might want to get TWO in the BLACK…..just to be sure………..scroll down………………….much Love…………………………………..Louis
Furthermore I want to say – tank & skirt will be welcomed additions to revitalize current wardrobe. Just re-read your comments on design & NOW think that YOU are actually Jac’s MUSE! LoL!
FINALLY…..someone who gets it….LOL…we are actually each others inspiration!
“Had it” the ‘very’ day I said “I Do”.
Cherish is a BIG word – I tell him that daily!
Smiles…..Have a great day
Thanks Louis – This frequent traveler appreciates THESE in all colors.
I just ordered 2 of the tanks (black & navy). Do you know when the skirt will be available?
Thanks,
Dariann
Dear Dariann….I really don’t know. It seems more and more the Q is posting things earlier and earlier before the show date. I only know that I will be showing it on the 3/3 show at 2pm
Remember “Finding Nemo” when all the sea gulls were hovered around saying “mine!”? That’s me for this tank and skirt in all colors… MINE! Thanks for the extra detail on the tank to make it special.
Mine, Mine, LOL…
Hah hah hah! Just like Nemo… or my 2 daughters in the playroom!!! I agree! =0)
This spring collection is absolutely gorgeous. I love EVERYTHING! When will these items be available? I think you mentioned the denim dress and vest in March… How about the porcelain print items? Lace items? These tanks/skirts? Truly gorgeous stuff!!!! I adore the bodysuit/ballerina skirt… if these are the same fabric I’m THRILLED! Truly, truly gorgeous and timeless designs. You must NEVER EVER EVER EVER stop designing!! EVER!!!!! Where would we go and what would we do???!?!
Dear Nmm….these will all be on my March 3rd show….It’s going to be fast and furious and the models are going to be changing like crazy. The rayon jersey is the same fabrics the other styles.
OMG, Louis, I adore the neckline on this tank! I think this requires duplicates as it is a “forever” tank!
Thank you for this, Sheila
Louis,
What a fabulous outfit – love all 3 colours! And the Skirt is a perfect length for me.
