March “SNEAK PEAK #8”
“Sneak Peek” #8, is A222542. It is a CRINKLE GEORGETTE PEASANT TOP. The entire blouse is double self fabric…meaning the body and sleeve are lined in the crinkle georgette. The details on this blouse are very delicate and feminine. I had satin strips made and had three of them sewn down the front, [front only]…. from the neckline to the hem. The neckline is piped in the same satin and the elastic hem of the sleeve is also covered with satin [blue photo]. There is also a self tie belt [to be used or not], pink photo, that also is piped on one edge with satin. Sizing…..if you lay this blouse on top of the A221795, the paisley peasant blouse, they are approx. the same size. The difference is the fabric. The crinkle georgette stretches a lot more than the flat georgette of the paisley due to the crinkle……which acts like an accordion. Therefore, on the body, this may feel bigger, but the flat measurement are about the same. If the paisley felt tight in the size you received, this will not feel the same way. If the size you purchased in the paisley was big than you should go down one size in this. Peasant blouses with “elastic” necklines that allow you to wear them off the shoulder [last years paisley in olive and black], will always be and feel bigger than peasant blouses with fixed [no stretch] necklines. The colors are CHAMBRAY BLUE [they may have called it just blue, but it matches the chambray blue Boho perfectly], PERFECTLY PINK, and BLACK. In the photos you can see each color with it’s matching Boho skirt and then broken up with white bottoms just to show the blouse as a separate. Of course there are many other things you can wear with these tops…..such as the blue/ navy or gray/black mosaic skirts, navy pants, jeans etc. etc. I know many of you are always looking for pieces to mix with your Boho skirts and I thought this would be a good addition……I hope you think so too. This will be my last sneak peek before my trip to London, tomorrow, with one sneak peek remaining for the month of March…………time is flying!!!!!!! ……………..Love, Louis
