…………………………….SLATE BLUE is a blue with grey mixed in. There is nothing “dusty” about this color. It is clean and pure…..It is a soft color and very flattering for most……For a more casual look I have it shown with the Linea Leisure SLATE BLUE TUXEDO STRIPE PANT, A268243………………..For a more dressed look a BLACK or NAVY PENCIL SKIRT, TROUSER or SLIM PANT………………. GUNMETAL or SILVER, IMHO, works best with this Slate Blue. The LARIAT and HOOP EARRING, or any of my other necklaces avail to you will work wonderfully with this top……It really is a top waiting to be accessorized……………….

Thanks, Louis. It’s helpful to know Jac’s preferences on fit, even though I’m a larger size (medium). I also don’t like jackets that are too big in the bust and hips and I like a roomier fit for over sized pieces. You typically give us a heads up on sizing, which I find to be very helpful, eliminating returns for size issues. And, I’ve finally gotten my sizing figured out, especially in the more challenging numerical sizes, which took some trial-and-error. As long as QVC gets the actual measurements correct, I’m A-OK!
And, I was just told by my doctor that I’m not 5’9″, but 5’10”! He checked it twice! My reply to him–I thought I was suppose to be shrinking with age!
Grace…that is so funny, because the same thing happen with Jac and me. When we went to see our doctor for a general checklist up it told both of us we were taller than we though. I always thought I was 5’10”, but I’m 5’11”. I thought you shrunk wit age too.
Dear Louis,
I’m so happy to see the long-sleeved version of this favorite top. Love the graceful neckline–so pretty. Are the measurements the same as the sleeveless version, including the length?
Basically yes…..when you go from a tank to a sleeved top adjustments always have to be made, but I would say whatever size you bought in the tank should be correct.
Great. Thanks! I’ve often wondered the size/height of your mannequin, so I can judge the length of a top and whether it will be long enough. I’m assuming the mannequin is average height–5’6″ maybe? My best guideline is always the QVC models. Those of us who are tall watch Jac like a hawk;)
the mannequin is very close to Jac’s size I usually put xxs samples on it. She’s about 5’7-5’8″….I never measured the height because it is adjustable.
Jac is 5’10 and 1/4….a size 6 bottom….usually xxs to xs for WK…. if they are close to the body like a tank or waist whittling sweater she likes the xxs….if they are more over sized….she likes them bigger and go with the xs. For jackets she has an 8 shoulder with a size 6 body so she will go with the 6. She doesn’t like jackets that are too big in the bust and hips.
