………………………….In addition to the dress, I will also be offering the TUNIC, A265555, in the same knit fabric, in the same BLUE/WHITE/BLACK combination. The top is super light weight, and it is lined and piped in the black tricot knit. The armholes are slightly cut in, and it has a JEWEL neckline. The bottom of the tunic is curved, and it is also piped. The approx. length for the size 6 is 27 inches which should suit everyone’s preference. There are bust darts for a better shaping….The top has an easy fit so I would recommend purchasing your normal size…..It really is the fabric that is the “jewel” here. You can see from the close up how intricate the pattern and the knitting is. I said it before, and it is worth saying again….it really could pass for a Missoni knit. People will think you spent hundreds of dollars…….let them……There are more ways to wear this top than you may think, and many of you may already own what you need. I have it shown with the Linea Capri Legging in the Cotton/Span as well as my Ivory crepe pant. The black SHRUG, A232520 is the perfect coverup, but many cardigans will work just as well. i WOULD LOVE MY BOUCLE OR GAUZE CARDIGANS, both in BLK……..A black or white short pencil skirt, or my Lapis Blue pant are just two more alternatives you could wear the top with…………………Something that is coming latter in the season is the marvelous new “statement” WATER FALL necklace, shown here in the BLUE…….It is a special unique piece that is like nothing else, and will surely bring compliments………………………………………………..enjoy…………………………….much Love……………………………………Louis
Louis I love this zig zag pattern I can already see the blue with my lapis cardigan…everything is so colorful!
Happy Easter!
Louis, you wrote that the blue in this pattern goes with our Lapis pieces. Since this blue is broken up in a pattern, do you think it would go under the Limoges Blue Ponte Jacket A233182? Thanks, Deb
Yes, they look great together.
Louis, can you tell me if this material might snag easily. Thank you.
Dear Lyn…I would say no. The polyester yarn is very strong. I have been putting on and taking these garments off my mannequin and I’ve had no problems at all. My mannequin has a mesh head and catches onto things easily. I have tried laces in the past that the factories refused to work on claiming they were too fragile and or difficult. There was no problem with this fabric. My manufacturer won’t work on fabrics she thinks there will be trouble with. So my answer again is no.
I forgot to ask, is the fabric thin enough to wear under a denim jacket?
Absolutely, it’s not heavy at all that’s why it’s lined.
Louis, can you explain the fabric in this tunic and dress? Is it the same as the fabric you used for last year’s zig zag top and skirt (that had the metallic thread)? I liked that top, but, unfortunately, the metallic thread was a bit too scratchy on my skin. I’m hoping this new top will be more cotton-like for spring/summer. Thanks.
Dear Marylin, they are two totally different fabrics. First there isn’t any metallic in this knit, and even though they were both zig zag patterns they are very different. Should should have no problem at all wearing this….it is very cotton-like in feel.
Thanks, Louis, for explaining. Sounds good to me!
LOVE BLUE waterfall necklace. Just what I need. I purchased black and clear and really have enjoyed them. Perfect necklace for summer wear.
Good morning Louis,
A happy Easter to you both. Is this tunic numerically or letter sized? How much ease would a person need in the chest for this top?
Regards,
Chris
Dear Chris it is numerically sized. Since it is a knit there is plenty of stretch. It’s sleeveless so you don’t want it to big or it will gap. I think your regular size should be fine. I see no reason to size up or down, but you should alawys check the click here measurements.
