……………………………….Many of you have collected the BOHO SKIRT in many colors. I thought it would be fun to introduce a new BOHO STYLE……. the BOHO TUNIC, A264621. This is a machine wash poly georgette blouse with an OPEN NOTCH COLLAR…..and has all the attributes of what a poly fabric can offer you….minimal wrinkling, easy to wash, easy packing etc etc…..The sleeves are longer than 3/4 length, but not quite bracelet……of course that all depends how long or short your arms are…LOL….. The total length of the shirt is approx. 29 inches for the xxs. There are bust darts and body darts on this blouse to control the fullness, and to give it a gentle easy fit. The bottom has two BOHO tiers. They aren’t overly shirred, but they don’t look skimpy either…Personally, I think it can look very inexpensive when the tiers do not have just the right amount of fullness. It can look like the manufacturer was trying to save fabric…..very chintzy………However, there does have to be a balance so it’s wearable, and not overly done which happens often for clothes shown on the runway…it’s about exaggeration to make a point…..but the Linea clothes are not exaggerated runway clothes……I think this tunic has just the right proportion…This tunic blouse looks great all buttoned up or….open as a soft flowy shirt jacket with just a tank or cami under it……..The color is new……..I call it…….FLAG BLUE……yes…it is similar to colors I have done before…..lapis…….sapphire….etc etc….it’s all about degrees and brightness. I think this is a wonderful summer blue…..Of course since I’m a Leo….I prefer GOLD accessories, but I know you SILVER lovers will disagree with me…….it’s all about choices and options. Worn with leggings, Capri pants or slim and wide leg pants are all good options, and only will depend on how each works for you. I know the question will inevitably come up….”can you wear this with the BOHO skirt?”….my answer is YES and NO….for some of you it will look wonderful and breezy, and for others it may be a bit overwhelming………….you just have to try….the shoes will help too. I always think…to give something a fair chance,…..you should have it put all together……accessories………shoes and sometimes for certain clothes even makeup. You would be surprised what a difference it makes when you are pulled together…..the outfit looks more pulled together. When Jac wants to show me something she has bought…she always has the shoe, boot etc. she wants to wear with it on. She instinctively knows from working with many many designers that the total look can make all the difference. Some designers can’t even look at a model in the clothes unless she is totally outfitted. There was a time, when models would never go on go sees unless they had make up on and their hair groomed……times have changed…..I always get a chuckle when I read someone returned something just by looking at it in the bag or taking it out and making a snap judgement…..I think…if you went to the trouble of ordering it, and you have to pay to return it….you owe it to YOURSELF to at least try it on….but I digress……………Summer is about comfortable, airy breezy clothes, and I think this new BOHO blouse fits the bill………………….enjoy…………………………………. much Love……………………………Louis
Hi Louis – Looking forward to the shows tomorrow! I have a quick question regarding the fabric of this tunic. Is it by any chance similar to the big shirt you did A252345? I love the lightness of that one. I tried the new slim pant and love it. Jac was right (of course) – the length is fine for a summer pant on a 5’10” leggy person! I think this tunic would look great with that pant.
“See” you soon!

Dear Susan….I don’t remember if we used the exact georgette, but it is as light and airy as the one you asked about.
Dear Louis,
My Linea wardrobe worked wonderfully on our 2 week, 8 island Caribbean cruise end of April. Favorite … The Black Sequin skirt with … well everything LOL. Picked up the Lapis sequin skirt just before I left, and looking for summer coordinates for LA in late July. Any chance this Flag blue top would work?
Thanks! Cathy
Dear Cathy….sorry for the delay…..can’t find the sequin skirt. I either gave it away or it’s in the warehouse, so I can’t say if the blues will work.
No problem … thanks for checking. One of my favorite looks was the black sequin skirt, black silk tank and the vintage Linea jacket in ivory linen with black embroidery and pleated ribbon trim … fun and a bit different!
Gorgeous!! Can wear with everything!! Great new design, love the length. I’m in.
