    Do you know what items are going to be on the Morning Show with Pat and Jane?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      The new georgette tunic, the flecked tank in the new colors, the new striped WK s/s sweater, the boho, the tie dye sweater….maybe something else….I don’t have the list in front of me.

      1. Sherry

        Thanks, does the tie die cardi in either the Tan/Peach or the Pewter/Twig work with the Dk. Tan Ankle pants? Thank you for all the time you spend entertaining out relentless questions…we DO appreciate it!!!

      2. Chris/Jazzmom

        I think that S/S striped WK sweater is wonderful!! It is a sleeper IMO. Wish it came in more colors.

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          I hope you have posted you comments on the Linea site and maybe on the Linea blog so attention is brought to it. I too think it is a sleeper.

          1. Chris/Jazzmom

            I reviewed it on its webpage and loved all 3 color combinations. I most especially liked that the stripes matched on the sides at the seams. The work of a quality garment.

  2. Toni Fisher

    Hello: Just received an e-mail from Q saying fish will be in QVC in May – they will send directly to me since I am on waitlist. Everyone should be getting these fishies. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo excited. Toni Fisher

    1. Sherry

      Good for you Toni…I know how much you wanted that fish necklace…Yippee!!!

  3. Anne in Dallas

    Louis, I would like very much to send you a letter. Do you have a mailing address at QVC, and if so, what is it? Thank you so much! Anne

  4. Judy

    Louis, What are the colors and length of the pebble crepe pants? And when will they be available?

  5. Cathy in PA

    Hi Louis,

    Thought of you today … while going through the mail, I found a Vermont Country Store catalog. Page 23: Scotty Dog Tin filled with black or red scotty dog licorice bites … made me smile: we know our dear Jac loves licorice 🙂

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      They feature them often in the catalog. We have ordered them in the past. We still have the tins but the licorice is long gone.We both LOVE licorice.

      1. Cathy in PA

        Ah, I’m not surprised … Did make me smile when I saw those little scottie dogs 🙂 My mother had a great fondness for real licorice. When we were in the Netherlands, our riverboat was diverted to the small town of Veere when the queen decided to celebrate her birthday in the town we were supposed to dock. Our tour director was so excited, and walked us all to a very special tiny candy shop, filled with old style licorice candies you can’t get anywhere else in Europe anymore; many were way to strong for most Americans LOL. None looked like scotty dogs …

  6. Sherry

    The Q needs to give you a 2 hour show on the 16th…there’s all of these goodies and so little time…LOL. I saw where you said you are going to be on the Morning Show with Jane and Pat for several things…it’s gong to be fast and furious next Friday.

  7. Debbie B

    Hi Louis, Is the pink dress your perfectly pink or a true light pink? Your perfectly pink doesn’t work with my skin tone, but a true baby pink would.
    Thanks,
    Debbie

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Debbie………..the colors are very close, but the dress is a little warmer. The P. Pink is slightly bluer. I don’t know if the difference is enough but there is a difference.

      1. Interesting. The Tee dress in pink looks cooler on my monitor! It does, however, look like it goes toward peach in the picture on the right hand side of my screen. Is that the more accurate color? Thanks so much!

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          The pink is very similar to the perfectly pink so if you can wear the P?P. you can wear this pink. It is slightly , and I mean slightly warmer.

  8. Shari

    Hip Hip Hooray !!
    My Silver fish necklace arrived today !!
    It’s GORGIOUS !!!

    1. Toni Fisher

      Shari: you are very fortunate – I wonder if this is another “return.” Can’t believe anyone would return these fishes, this is the second one. I had two on waitlist, and one was cancelled and not by me – QVC games. Bless you and wear this little fishie I good health. toni fisher.

    2. Toni Fisher

      P.S. I put another one on waitlist dated 5/9/14 – so now I have the two on waitlist – we’ll see what happens.

    3. Toni Fisher

      Shari: I scrolled down and answered too quickly. I see you are the Lady who said your’s was shipped 5/5/14. Sorry.

      1. Shari

        That’s quite alright Toni. I’ve had this fish necklace on waitlist since Febuary 27th.
        I AM a lucky lady to have finally received it.
        I WILL wear it in good health. Thankyou Toni.!

  9. Sheesh

    Hi, Louis. A heads up—it appears the Black Glass Bead Necklace is SOLD OUT—AGAIN! I missed it AGAIN! Will they reorder it? I don’t know why I didn’t go on Waitlist—a definite screw up on my part. I think by the time they filled the Waitlist there were none left!!! Luckily I have a real JET 2 strand 36″ necklace with a lovely Silver and Marcasite Station on it, and matching earrings, so I have the look—and I’ve worn it with some of your clothes and it looks great, BUT, I want yours, of course, because it is more versatile without the Silver station and I can wear yours with Gold.

    I did snag a Grey—so there’s that!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Sheesh….that was fast….you should definitely go on wait list especially for the jewelry. They order enough to fill the wait list but not much more…..so the wait lis5t number is important. The grey is gorgeous and can take the place of black in some cases.

      1. Sheesh

        No Waitlist now for the Black—gone with the wind!

  10. nikki

    Louis, the big tunic shirt just got posted in navy, white and suntan, Does it come with a tank? Would love to see how you style it. thanks

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      This item will be on air May 16th at 6am with Jane and Pat….I will have quite a few items on that show…..I will post a sneak peek before the show. It does not come with a tank, but I have plenty that work that you may already own.

      1. nikki

        that wonderful news. I ordered the navy for now, thankyou

  11. Jeanie

    Louis, does the dark suntan cardigan match the dark suntan dress?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Not really…it’s a miss-match. The same color was sent to both factories, but the cardi is a little deeper and a little pinker…….I think you are better off with a contrast.

  12. Sheesh

    Hi, Louis. Will the T-shirt dress work over the Crop leggings that are coming in June? If so, I might shorten on of the Black dresses to be a real tunic for me. I bought 5 of them–2 Black, Blue, Olive and the Pink! Can’t wait!

      1. Sherry

        What an awesome idea Sheesh…love that!!! I may have to get another one now…LOL.

  13. WNYgal/April

    Hi, Louis,

    There are neither waist nor hip measurements listed in the click heres for the new T shirt dress, which is causing some confusion re: what size to order, especially for those worried about the hip area. Can you help? Thanks.

    April

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I forwarded your request to the buyers and hopefully they will get them posted. I do not have that info.

      1. WNYgal/April

        Thanks. We all know about the consequences of returns, & everyone on the forum is gaga over this dress.

  14. Debra

    Dear Louis,

    I just read about your new black asymmetrical skirt coming on May 16th. PLEASE share more info about it and if it will be online before Friday afternoon. I own almost every longer skirt that you have made and order every sweater with matching tank.

    I would love to hear more about the new skirt and anything else modest and pretty coming for plus size!!! Also in the feather jersey skirts, I am a 1x but in the new striped cap sleeve I found the 1x top pulled too much across the lumpy areas, and am waiting for the exchanges in the 2 shirts in 2x. For the newly arriving rayon span items, would you recommend 2x if we are fruit salads( Apple and pear)? ;-))

    Thanks so much for generously offering questions and answers.

    Best,
    Debra

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      It’s coming in June, not May and it is made in the same crushed gauze as the asym. shirt tunic from last summer.

      1. Debra

        Thank you so much! Please feel free to post more photos!

      2. Kristen/spagal

        any colors other than black? Love this material

  15. Jeanie

    Hi Louis, I’m hoping you can help me regarding sizing on the new t-shirt dress, the tunic from the same fabric was just a little clingy through the hips in my regular size small and it had to go back. I’ve a 36″ bust and 39″ish hips and will be heartbroken if the dress is also clingy through the hips, however sizing up would mean it would be quite large through the bust (41″ I believe). There is no hip measurement on the q size chart so I’m wondering if you can either provide a hip measurement or sizing advice. Essentially, if the tunic ran snug through my hips in my normal size, should I expect the same from the dress and size up?

    1. Jeanie

      Wanted to add that I loved the way the denim dress fit in my regular size due to the extra room through the hips. Also, I’ve ordered the t-shirt dress in all 5 colors so getting the right size is paramount for me.

  16. Sherry

    Morning Louis, the Q has listed the t-shirt dress and they have a 5th color called Pink on waitlist…is there really a 5th color???

    1. Kate

      I tossed the pink into my cart when I was ordering black, blue and olive. What an awesome dress and a super good price. Love that it’s all cotton with plenty of stretch, and has a nicer pocket than the usual ones that are set into the side seam and bulge open. Can’t wait!

    2. Louis Dell'Olio

      Yes Sherry….the dress will be avail in PINK too. We liked the dress so much we decided to proffer it in PINK, even if it had to be delivered latter OLO. It’s a beautiful shade of pale pink

      1. nikki

        Louis, is there a jacket that you prefer with this new tshirt dress. I realize that it is a summer dress, however, sometimes I need to wear a jacket, so I you prefer the look of one, please let me know.
        thankyou

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          I haven’t tried this dress with a jacket, but I think my new Cotton Sateen blazer on the May 16th show or the DENIM jacket would be real cute.

      2. Sherry

        Great news, I did the same as Kate and put it on waitlist along with my other colors…sure hope they bought a bunch of these dresses so that there’s enough left for the show next week…LOL

  17. Bobbie

    Hi, Louis. I just wanted you to know that I love the new printed crops, denim pants and the embroidered tunics. The fit for each is great, so I’m glad that I ordered all the colors. I can’t wait to receive the new peasant tops. They look so comfortable and summery. I do have a question that may have been asked before. I have most of the colors in your pearl jewelry collection and love them all. I was just wondering if you have considered having them made in black. I think black pearls are so beautiful, so exotic. The ones I have seen and coveted are not jet black but much darker than your gray pearls which I own. I would love a black pearl button earring with the teardrop ivory pearl. Then I could wear both black and ivory pearl strands and layer with your past black, gold bead with pearl necklace. You must think your ladies are never satisfied, but the truth is that we just can’t get enough of your designs!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Bobbie…..truly I hadn’t thought about black. When and if they reorder the pearls and want a new color I will definitely consider black

      1. Carol

        If they are reordered, I’d like to put in my request for a dark rich walnut brown–something that would layer with your lighter browns.

  18. Toni Fisher

    Dear Louis: Earlier reply never recorded – I called QVC Customer Service and told them a Lady posted on your page that her “fish” shipped 5/5 and she was on waitlist. I told CS that I was on waitlist since 3/4 and mine did not ship. She said “if Louis brought in 50 and 500 are on waitlist, you won’t receive the pendant.” So I am again screwed by QVC – after my easy pays are paid up, I can close my account – tired of being duped by QVC and blaming everybody but themselves. thanks Louis.

    1. Jane

      Toni — Just FYI –Louis answered your question under your other post on the “Updates!!” page.

      1. Toni Fisher

        Thank you Jane – I am so sad. Enjoy your fishie. Toni Fisher

    2. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Toni….the next time someone answers you like that get their full name and I will report it. This person is obviously uninformed on how things are ordered by QVC.

  19. Judy

    Hi Louis, after seeing the video of the new cowl neck dress there is a long discussion on the QVC board. Many are cancelling their order or just passing after seeing the gray dress on Jackie. You said we needed to all wear our spanx. In the video Jackie’s back fat and rolls were very visible especially when she turned and walked away. Many on the board thought she was wearing the wrong size (too small). Did she not have on the right shaper (spanx) or would she have looked better in a larger size dress? Everyone including myself are concerned about the clinging to our rolls and back fat (above and below the bra). It looked to me like Jackie did not have a shaper on. What are your thoughts on this?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Judy….thank you for making me aware of the post…..I looked at it. I would have preferred it if Jacqui had worn a size larger. Some of these shapers do more harm than good creating bulges where the shaper ends. I can not tell the models what to wear as far as under garments are concerned….it can be somewhat uncomfortable and even embarrassing. I do not believe Kerri was wearing any shaper under the dress, but I wasn’t present when they got dressed. Kerri was already dressed to give Josie Moran her cake and Jacqui changed from her Rene outfit to the dress while I was already out on the stage with Lisa. Getting the dress in the right size is paramount. Someone said the fabric I use is the same as Logo…..it is nothing like Lori’s…..Yes they are both Rayon\Span, but Lori uses a thinner lighter quality which is appropriate for her “layering”. My quality is heavier. With the proper undergarments I think this dress will be flattering on many women. I do fit on a 1x model for the plus sizes and the dress looked very good on her. Of course if one has rolls and bulges this may not be the best choice, but then what drapey jersey would be?

      1. Judy

        Thank you for your prompt reply.

  20. Nancy (AKA TheOwl)

    Louis, another piece of good news is that my BUTTER mock neck WK sleeveless top (on waitlist since January) is “in process” and should be on it’s way to me in a few hours. Other Linea Ladies have posted online at the Q that the kimono cardi in butter as well, I think, as a V-neck in Butter are now up for ordering.

  21. Shari

    Just wanted everyone to know– my long time wait list SILVER FISH necklace
    has been shipped on 5/5/2014. Should have it by the weekend.
    They’re on the way!!!

  22. Nancy (AKA TheOwl)

    Louis, the pull-on skirt that matches the new cap sleeve top just got posted at QVC.

  23. Nancy

    Hi Louis, I just got the new asymmetrical hem sleeveless tunic top and love the fabric. It’s like wearing comfy pajamas, but prettier. Could you please let me know what colors your new capri leggings will be?? Thank you in advance.

      1. Nancy

        Thank you Louis. Will the olive be a repeat of the one you had a few years ago? The peacock sounds like fun!

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Dear Nancy…they are a similar shade to the A199801 legging, but the new one is darker.

          1. Nancy

            Thank you Louis. And will the new asymetrical big shirt (just posted) in the dark tan match the sateen pants coming out soon?

  24. Pamela

    Dear Louis: You gave us an ‘On Air’ sneak peek of the Red/Gold necklaces during your presentation of the BF Cardi (A251578) Monday show. Any time line on WHEN they will be available for purchase? Soon, I hope!

    btw – Have that Cardi in RED & TAUPE W/matching shells. Love both colors, but that red is a WoW!

    TIA

  25. Bernice M

    Will your floral cardigan in black A233856 be coming back in stock, it was on on QVC but I wasn’t fast enough and it was sold out.
    Thank you

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Bernice….I doubt that any more will come in this season. The factories are already into fall production.

  26. Sherry

    Good afternoon Louis…question please…how would the embroidered tunic look with wide leg pants or wide leg crops? I like it with a skinny leg pant…just wondering about a wide leg pant. thanks…Jac looked especially beautiful in the Latte WK outfit the other night. Loving the Latte!!! Oh!…I just received my denim dress, after being back ordered…WOW!…I know some of the ladies are saying it’s too big…I purchased my usual size medium (I’m a size 12), and the fit is relaxed and perfect when out temps start hitting the 100* and up. Looking forward to the T-shirt dress. many thanks…

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      It can look good. I have the pebble crepe crops coming in June that I know will look great with it. Wide pants can work too as long as you are not overwhelmed…..usually abetter look for tall women.

      1. Sherry

        Great thanks, I think I should probably stick with the wide leg crops as I am 5’5″…

  27. feathers

    hi:Just heard on the morning show that today is Jac’s birthday, so HAPPY,HAPPY BIRTHDDAY to Jac. Have a wonderful day. Love to you both.

    1. Sherry

      Happy Birthday Jac…Happy Birthday to you…enough of the singing…the dogs are starting to bark…LOL

  28. Quendiva

    Hello Louis,
    I just love your linen blazer and wide leg pants. As mine is a more casual lifestyle, I would like to request a more casual style if you can repeat this same wonderful fabric for spring/summer 2015: same pants in a capri or crop length and a v-neck unlined flyaway style cardigan jacket with a one large button closure to wear over a WK tank. I am not the biggest fan of jackets with lapels. Thanks!

    1. Sherry

      Love the idea of a linen blend crop/capri pant for next year…I love to wear linen. Another idea for next year…a top similar to the pebble crepe top with the boat neck and 3/4 sleeves out of an almost sheer weight linen blend to wear over a tank/or not…easy breezy.

  29. Cheri

    Louis, It may be too late to request colors for spring of 2015, but I would love to see your crepe jacket and pants in yellow, pale green and light pink. Your designs are so classic and beautiful, I wish I could get one of everything. I have this jacket in every color, absolutely love it and when the pants are available I get them too if not I have fun mixing and matching. If not the crepe, then maybe the ponte knit. But whatever colors come I will get them.

  30. rita

    I just ordered the fish necklace in silver on waitlist. Will you be showing the necklace in gold soon?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      The gold fish will be on my May 16th show on the turquoise T shirt dress.

  31. Nancy (aka TheOwl)

    Louis, when do you think the skirt that matches the new cap-sleeve top might come in at QVC? It’s frustrating when they post 1/2 of an outfit and then you have to watch the site day and night so you don’t miss the other half 😉 Many thanks!

      1. Nancy (aka TheOwl)

        🙂 Thanks Louis. It does seem to defy logic. If I see it before others get here with the news, I’ll let you know.

  32. Anne

    When will the shorts be available? Thanks.

  33. Goldie76

    ANOTHER JEWELRY SUGGESTION

    I realize you might find my suggestion a tired and overdone one, but have you ever thought of doing a leaf design for your fall collection? What you could do with that! Of course I see it in metals.

    Perhaps some leaves will urge you on to create.

    Thanks,

    Goldie

  34. Pamela

    Dear Sweet Louis:

    Please excuse my opening (sincere) adulation, but I have a request, please. After viewing the video below – I want/need Linea glass pearls in WHITE in a 8/10mm – 90″ length that gives the wearer so much versatility! Do consider my Dear Designer – you would make many so very happy! ! !

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx-a_NWiAjs

    who knew? !

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Pamela……I can honestly say making a 90″ pearl necklace is very unlikely. The manufacturer already raised the price of the 72″, but the increase wasn’t passed along to the ladies, so I doubt QVC would ever consider a,90 inch length.

      1. Pamela

        Thanks for your reply – thought maybe it would reduce cost by utilizing a smaller mm bead for the extended length to make it a Q consideration? I’ll continue to dream & start practicing my knotting skills!

        I own (4)colors of Linea 72″ & plan to collect more colors! By adding a 3″ extender – can wear as a 5 strand choker. Just recently wore my PP pearls with J264043 in Bronze as a twisted torsade & rec’d many compliments. The Black is still waitlisted – does this mean a reorder coming in this faceted design?

  35. Debra

    Dear Louis,

    I am beyond Excited about the new skirts!!! How soon will we be able to order them????

    Yes, I know, multiples will be sold and they will disappear quickly, so please give heads up.
    Should we stick with our regular Linea sizes? any idea on the length?

    thank you for so many great choices. I do own more Louis D. clothing than anything else in my closet and trying to make more room. I forgot to ask, will the cap sleeve tops go with the draped cardigan from the fall in the bright cobalt lapis blue? I already have the 2 black sweaters that you mentioned.

    thanks and I truly appreciate your quick replies,
    Best,

    Debra

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I believe I said the skirt was approx. 31 inches ( I’m not home to check). Yes the cap sleeve top will go with the Lapis….it will be a pale blue under the deep blue….the way the red boyfriend cardigan looks with the red cap sleeve top. Same with the black cardi…..pale gray under black.

  36. debby

    How many of the love knot silver necklaces and what lengths were on the black cap sleeve T -please bring them back! Would love to order!!!

  37. Birdie

    Hi Louis,

    How would you describe the seafoam color of the lace jacket? There’re no pictures up yet.
    Thank you!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I posted them already in my sneak peeks……you have to click on ” older” at the bottom of the page.

  38. Nancy (aka TheOwl)

    Louis, you mentioned that the chili pepper will NOT go with the new cap sleeve top and skirt – but will the lapis 3/4 sleeve ponte knit jacket work? – A233182 Obviously the white in that same jacket will go with all 3 colors. Also does the RED in the crepe jacket – A221808 – go with this red?

  39. Bizfrog

    Louis and ladies,

    I don’t know if you are aware but the lace jackets in the new colors are available to order. Got mine in the seafoam and it is lovely. Going back for the ivory!

    Lynn

  40. Sherry

    In my notes I have you down for 1-one hour show on May 16th at 4pm Eastern. How is all this goodness going to fit into that one hour show??? Looks like they may have to give you more time. We like that.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      You’re right Sherry…..I keep getting new dates for outside hits like PM Style and FEW. It looks like I will be on PM Style this Saturday 5/3….Lisa will be showing a new blouse on PM Style on 5/5….I won’t be there for that and now I’ve heard PM STYLE on 5/26…..so the clothes are being spreed through out the month. When I know for sure I post everything!

      1. nikki

        That’s great Louis, What will be shown on 5/3 – something new?
        I don’t want to miss it

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          not sure yet, but I think it’s the classic WK Cardigan….but I’ll show some sneak peeks

        2. Sherry

          May 3rd is Summer Fashion Day!

            1. Sherry

              Isn’t that an OLO item? Maybe they purchased more quantity in the cardigan so they can show it?

  41. Wendy

    Hello Louis,
    I noticed that the cap sleeve top comes in the same three colorways as your linen tweed jacket and pant (I have the black tweed set) so I went for it and ordered the black cap sleeve top.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Actually, the red is nothing like the chili pepper, but the other colors will work well.

  42. Debra

    Dear Louis,

    I too looked at the cap sleeve top. The neckline is great (I don’t have to turn it around). I cannot tell, are these marled, like the flecked tanks? hard to tell from the Zoom in photos.

    Thanks for the info and please show more photos!!

    Jac’s flowers should bloom well with all these April Showers.

    Best,
    Debra

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      No Debra…..they are very even VERY FINE STRIPES, that you can see when you look closely……you really would say it’s a striped fabric just from looking at it….but it is.

  43. Jane

    Hi Louis, A new item, #A254436, Cap Sleeve Knit Top is online this morning on QVC. I suspect that it’s just the QVC pictures, but the colors look strange — very pale — even though the descriptions say black, lapis and red. Can you tell us about these? Love that they have a cap sleeve. Thank you.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      There are actually two new things posted….so I will post my sneak peeks.

  44. designista

    Good Morning Louis, Are there any more garments coming in your rayon/span jersey? It would be helpful if it had a name so that the matching pieces were eaiser to find. It is my favorite light weight knit right after the Feather Jersey.

    The new A252354 skirt has become a workhorse in my wardrobe. I would love to have it in a shorter slim pull-on version as well, and straight leg pants, leggings, capris and maybe even shorts.Besides the A252353 matching tanks, it is the perfect finish for A299468 tanks in black, olive and magenta along with the A229467 drape front lace jackets from a couple of years ago. The A253378 jersey top with mesh sleeves is amazing, especially impressive that you were able to get that white of a white in rayon. I’m quite excited about this knit and look forward to more pieces. The Mambo dress is great as was the ballet tunic!

    1. designista

      Also want to request white shorts for next year, perhaps in denim. Thanks.

  45. Karen in WA

    Oh, Louis, I received my wisteria tunic. It is so lovely. I hope there is a re-order. Maybe you could do white with black trim along with any new color. I am sorry I didn’t get the black and tan, but as with your lovely things you have to order at midnight the day before and if you want more you are out of luck! But I am greatful, I have all the aqua and white pieces also. Ready for vacation! Thank You.

    Louis, I know it might be too late to request colors in your crepe jacket and pants for next year. I have all of the colors so far, would love to have in yellow, light green, and pink. If not possible in the crepe, then maybe in your ponte knit. Thank you for all you do for us.

  47. It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate to this excellent blog!
    I guess for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
    I look forward to new updates and will share this blog
    with my Facebook group. Talk soon!

    Louis I was going to order the tunic A233187 Asymmetric Hem Button Front Tunic w/ Collar in grey to wear with my torquoise jeans. Which one of your tanks would look good with it? I have white, but was looking for other suggestions that you wonderfully
    come up with. Thankyou.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      The only tank I can think of is the silver gray flecked tank. I don’t remember if it’s avail. Now or coming in May.

      1. nikki

        Thankyou for your reply, and I see that it is available, One more question, does the turquoise jean match the color turquoise color Wk from this year to create a column look. I missed the aqua color wk from last year and there are none available. I think you had mentioned there will be a cotton sleeveless cotton shirt coming next month to match the shorts, will that match the jeans. I would like to make a column look also to i am trying to figure out my best bet. Thankyou so much

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          No, it matches last years aqua, but you should check all of the styles especially the short sleeve V and scoop…..there maybe some aqua pieces left.

    2. Seka

      It is available A224278 Silver Grey.

      1. nikki

        thankyou for the info

    Dear Louis,

    I received your wool coat, A229477, in black a long time ago when it was first offered (and I have enjoyed having it). A few days ago, on a whim, I ordered the same coat in rose quartz. It is absolutely fabulous. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so I often need a heavier coat, even in the warmer seasons, and sometimes a black, heavy coat just seems a bit much. I think this coat in the rose color will just be perfect. With tax and shipping the cost was about $150–amazing value. Thank you for such a lovely piece.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Barbara…..I am so please you decided to take a chance with the rose quartz coat. I understand totally what you mean by needing a coat for the north west weather, but black being to foreboding and heavy looking for this time of year. With the special misty light that your area of the country can sometime have….I think this color choice is perfect. You still look appropriate for this spring time of year, but can still stay warm for the cold weather. I’m glad you took a chance and I hope you will have great pleasure wearing it, besides the compliments I’m sure you will get wearing such a special piece.

  50. Debbie M

    Dear Louis,

    By now I figure you must be working on summer 2015. If the boho gets reordered, I would be happy to see Lapis or your denim yellow as a choice.

    1. Debbie

      Debbie,
      your right, a denim boho in the same light wt denim would be great in all the colors… Great suggestion.

      1. Louis Dell'Olio

        Debbie…..I’m afraid a boho in the denim would stick out like a hoop skirt…..I don’t think that’s what you have in mind?

        1. Debbie M.

          I was referring to the color of the yellow denim. However I am a linea addict and if you make I will most likely buy it. LOL

          1. Louis Dell'Olio

            Now I understand….Jac and I were in Saks 5th and Bergs the other day and they had the shortest dresses with the stiffest biggest skirts I’ve seen in a long time…..at least 4 to 5 inches above the knee, and these were “designer dresses all $1500 and above…….all I could think of was “mark downs” and even then I don’t know anyone over 25 who could or should wear them.

    I have purchased two pairs of the faux silk pants from QVC, item #A235315, in a size 6. I love the pants and need a pair in black. They to not necessarily need to be in that fabric, but I want a woven fabric in that silhouette. Can you help me find something.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Ann

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Ann….I’m sorry to say I don’t have any other pant like those faux silk pants in any fabric.

    Hello Louis, I rec’d my denim pants/dress and vests, all beyond beautiful. I got the silver palm frond long necklace and am debating to get the gold one and thought about wearing them together as someone on Qvc forum suggested.( these pieces are so beautiful, I love them). I wanted your thoughts on what color earring one should wear when you wear the gold/silver palm frond necklace together, ( silver? gold or bicolor?). WOuld love your thoughts and your suggestions. Thankyou, I cannot believe how many beautiful pieces I have in my closet.

    1. nikki

      Louis, as a separate thought I would love to get some more boho tunics from your collections, do you have anymore coming this season?

        1. nikki

          Something like the tunics you showed last week

          1. Louis Dell'Olio

            No…..nothing else like that coming…..but lots of great things for May and JUNE!

            1. Debra

              Dear Louis,

              I own more of your clothing than you do! 😉

              Please, now that you are torturing and teasing, show some more pics and give more details!

              By the way, if you have seen an uptick in sales of your feather jersey items, it is all me. Picked up two cardigans, the only shell left, the overshirt and two maxi skirts.

              The silver fleck tank is gorgeous and so soft. I cannot believe that you created that special formulation. So far, I have ordered doubles on that tank and the rounded neck tanks in your fab rayon/span.

              Details! Please give us more scoop (and easy pay).

              have a great weekend,
              Debra

    2. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear nikki….first, if you are considering the gold palm frond…I wouldn’t wait too long…..second I would definitely put the two metals together…..third, you can wear any of the metal colors, they would both work. Are you suggesting one earring in each color or do you already own an earring that has the two metal colors in it?

      1. nikki

        I have an earring in two metal colors, although the finish might be off.

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Since you already own it you should definitely try it. I also like the bold hoop in the gold with the necklaces if the palm earring is too much for you…..it is also a good change of pace when you don’t need something so dramatic.

      2. Debra

        Dear Louis, as above comments,

        I mean more higher necklines for me but scoop for the Good Stuff!

        thanks,
        Debra

  54. NJ Lady

    Hi Louis,
    I took your advice & ordered the black & white capris.
    They are perfect & can’t wait to wear.
    I have so many black tops
    thanks for telling us to go out of the box!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear NJ Lady….it’s so much more fun to dress when you wear something totally different then what you have or are used to. As long as you are comfortable….go for it.

  55. Jan Taylor

    PLEASE HELP!!! I AM BEGGING!!!
    I purchased your Linen Jacket #A253575 and Wide Leg Pant #A253577 from QVC in black. I received the jacket, but the pants were on wait list and I received them just the other day. HOWEVER, the zipper on the pants was sown incorrectly and could not be worn!!! I called QVC and I was advised to send back,and another pair would be sent right out to me! Now today, I received an email from QVC stating the pants were no longer available and I was given my money back!!! I just called and no one at QVC could help me get either my original pants back (which I will take to a tailor to have fixed) or get a new pair!!! PLEASE HELP! I am begging! I need these pants to match my jacket! Can someone PLEASE,PLEASE, PLEASE get me these pants in black in sixe 22?? I need them for a meeting! Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from you with positive results!! Regards, Jan Taylor

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Jan…..I am so sorry you are going through this. There is nothing more I would like to do than help you, but I have absolutely zero inventory. QVC has or had every existing piece that was made. I can only suggest a solid pair of black pants. Is there no wait list? 9 times out of 10 the wait list orders get filled….especially pants.

      1. Jan Taylor

        QVC said there was NO wait list and would not even try to put me on any kind of list to get these pants. This is so upsetting! It is not my fault the pants were made wrong, so I just do not see why they will not help me at least get the pants back that I sent back so I can have them fixed. Will there be more of these pants made? If so, can I please be put at the top of the list to get my pants?? The pants fit just perfect and I was so excited to get them, just could not wear them due to the zipper not being sewed incorrectly. Can you at least help me get the pants back so I can get them repaired???

        1. Jan Taylor

          I just read what Sherry had posted and was able to purchase the pants!!! I am so excited! I took the CSR at her word when she said there were no pants left in stock. I am happy she was WRONG!!! Lets just hope the pants are shipped to me. I will advise when I receive them. Thank you for your follow up. It means a lot to me that you were trying to help, unlike QVC. (BTW, I purchase a LOT from QVC and am not happy even a Supervisor was not willing to help me get another pair of pants. I just feel they should have tried to help more.)

    2. Sherry

      Jan there is a size 22 in the black right now at 7:09 Central time 4/25. Hope you see this before they are gone.

      1. Jan Taylor

        Sherry, thanks so much!! I never even checked QVC stock since their CSR said there was NONE in stock!! I just bought them!!! We shall see if they are really in stock and get shipped to me! Again thanks so much for the heads up. I owe you one!! ha

        1. Sherry

          So pleased you were able to order them…a couple of suggestions for the future….
          1. If you received a defective item that is fixable, wait till you have the NEW item in your hot little hands before sending the defective on back.
          2. When the Q backorders something, or even if it is a NEW waitlist item…stalk, stalk, stalk…I get quite a few items that way…such as your pants.
          These suggestions may help in getting what you want in the future.

          1. Jan Taylor

            Problem was that they said there was no wait list and they could not help me at all!! The Supervisor just said “Sorry, I have no way to help you get these pants”. What made me upset was that when I first got the defective pants and called QVC to make sure I could get another pair, I was told they had them in stock and they would send another pair right out as soon as I sent the defective pair back! This CSR may have not even check to see if there was any in stock. I would have never sent the pants back if I had been told they were no longer in stock, since I had to wait for them in the first place! I am just not sure if I will get the pants I just purchased. We shall see… Thanks for your advise. I was just so upset with the attitude the Supervisor gave to me. Just sorry I did not get her name. I got the first CSR’s name I spoke to but when I asked for a supervisor I was not able to get her name. Again thanks for your help!

            1. Sherry

              The pants may have been in stock when the CSR spoke to you and someone else was purchasing the same pant at that very same moment and their order was processed first, leaving you holding an empty bag…(something their IT person needs to work on so that they don’t oversell an item)…AND when you spoke to the CSR after you received your email, the pants were most likely not in stock at that moment. Inventory comes in and out so quickly…that’s why if you want something you have to stalk…check as often as you can looking for the size and color you want. Not to defend the CSR actions, but, they have no way to pinpoint where your return pants are and retrieve them…can you imagine how many returns they get in a single day…WOW…and the CSR can not order a single item from the manufacturer. The Q does not hold extra stock in case something goes wrong with an order…it’s all up to the computer and their ordering system…hope this is helpful information to better understand the world we know as QVC.

    3. Writer with Flair (Patti)

      Dear Jan,
      I suggest that you keep checking back several times a day at the QVC website. (A QVC representative suggested this to me.) Sometimes checks don’t go through, people return things, etc. It definitely is worth a shot. I have had some luck finding items after they had been sold out. Most recently, I was able to get a brand new (not opened, still in original packaging) navy boyfriend sweater that sold out quite a while ago. Suddenly, it came back into stock. Persistence can sometimes pay off. I hope you get what you are looking for.
      Been there,
      Patti

  56. Pamela

    Hope you will include your embroidered Linea Logo on all future knit designs! Have many, many leggings & always fold my Linea with logo out to make it easier to grab my favorite pair!

  57. Toni Fisher

    Hello Louis: Have you heard when the Fish will be in – I am on waitlist and nervous they will forget me. thanks Louis

      1. Shari

        I recieved a letter from QVC stating that the waitlists are being honored
        and the fish neclace would be in later May.

        1. Toni Fisher

          Thanks Louis and Shari – I didn’t get a letter, but I will call them. Oh woe is me.

  58. Dariann

    Dear Louis,

    Your masterpieces arrived today and I couldn’t be more pleased! I am referring to your palm frond jewelry and will treasure and wear them for years to come.

    Thank you for your creativity and for such quality,
    Dariann

  59. TexasBarb

    The T shirt dress looks line another winner. Can you tell us when it will be available? Will it be OLO?

    Also still wondering what we can look forward to next in the way of your beautiful jewelry. Maybe you don’t want to say yet and I understand that.

    Thanks always for your great designs

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      If all goes as expected it will be on my May 16th show. I have not received my samples of the next pieces of jewelry so I would rather not comment until I see them

      1. TexasBarb

        Thanks for responding. I totallly understand. I will be patient. Your jewelry and clothing are worth the wait.

  60. Barbara C

    Dear Louis,
    Just received a253411, the black whisper knit straight skirt and it is a little long for me. Do you have suggestions for shortening this skirt? Thank you.
    Barbara

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I know many have hemmed the pant and skirts. I think they just do a normal hem, but you should post your question on the Linea QVC Blog and you will answers to your question from those who have done it already..

  61. debby

    Just bought four of your skirts and two tops – great! Where can i buy those wonderful solid chunky black cuffs that your models wear to complete the look?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Some are from my collection that I have gotten over the years. I do have the J270118, black cuff which is much nicer than the QVC photo and the J278134, which isn’t black but looks great with black…..and it is chunky. I show both of them all the time.

      1. debby

        Thank you! Will order, but which of the j278134 do you suggest?

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Dear debby….to go with black….All would work but the “beige ” is your best bet.

          1. debby

            Thanks! Your the best!!!

  62. DeLois

    I sent pictures to you on Facebook and they said they would go to your Other Folder, whatever that means…. Hope you get them as I am not familiar with a lot of things on Facebook.

    1. Karen in WA

      I am not good @ facebook ether. I think you have to friend him first. I went there so that I could see your picture as I’d like to do the same. So I clicked friend request. We shall see. Louis, you are creating a monster here.D

      1. DeLois

        Hi Karen….. I just posted pictures on my Facebook page…… My name is not that popular so perhaps you could find it.

  63. Jane

    Good morning Louis, I recently purchased on Ebay a “sample” of a Whisper Knit sweater. It had your Linea tag, but no A# or size. It is a jewel neck, long sleeves (no ribbing on the sleeves), and the length was just at the hip (not a tunic)and,again, no ribbing at the bottom. It is a lovely pale silver grey. I am wondering if this is a new style/color that will be coming with the new WKs this fall. I wore it on Easter Sunday with the Pewter suit and some labradorite necklaces and it looked beautiful.

    Also, all my Palm Frond jewelry arrived yesterday. I bought all the pieces in both colors — I loved them that much! And, I definitely agree with you that for the workmanship and finishes on these pieces the price is actually quite reasonable. The earrings are a little long for me (I have a short neck) but I may add the fronds to my short necklaces (to make them the “original” seven fronds) or as another Linea lady has suggested, make them pendants. These are truly collectible pieces and I thank you for bringing them to us.

  64. Susan (aka CarlyTwila)

    Hi Louis!
    My palm jewelry arrived yesterday and I am astounded at their beauty. Thank you so much for getting these pushed through to production!!!! I have combed the blog this morning looking for outfits. It appears to me that you tend to pair this jewelry with the very basic black or deep navy solids, using either a high neck or a low neck. I have the black hi/low dress and also the navy tank/maxi skirt ready and waiting for this lovely jewelry. Did you have anything else in mind?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Susan I am so pleased you love your Palm Frond pieces. I realize they are on the pricey side, but in order to do this kind of workmanship and detail….it cost a lot more. I love these pieces on ANY SOLID color. They look great on all the fiesta colors and all of the new colors like coffee bean and chili pepper. I can’t think of a color they wouldn’t look good on. Wearing hem with a print is possible too…it just has to be the right print……Really…..wear them with anything!

  65. Pamela

    Dear Louis:

    Any update on possibility of a reorder on the WAVE necklace & earrings in both metal tones?

    TIA

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I do believe the necklace is being reordered, but I’m not sure of the details……I’ll ask.
