…………….A NEW DENIM DRESS…..A304747………in a NEW INDIGO DENIM FABRIC. The fiber content is 69% cotton, 29% polyester and 2% spandex…..it has good stretch! The hand of the fabric is very soft, not stiff at all, and very silky. The weight is perfect for year round wearing. It has a classic shirt collar with a full stand, and it has a very long, narrow placket down the front, so you could actually step into it. The buttons are DTM [dyed to match]. It has band pockets and the “pocket bag” is sewn through and through, so there isn’t any loose bag inside to flop around. The dress is approx 38 inches long for the XXS. The sizing will be XXS through 3X. This has an EASY SHAPE without a defined waist…..”chemise like”, let me repeat NO DEFINED WAIST….I will bet money on someone leaving a review that the dress fits like a bag!!! LOL….Be careful of the garment measurements. If you buy it too big it will look like a BAG…..If you want more of a shape you could always wear an interesting belt like a western belt or an Indian conch belt. The hem has a small curved shirt tail bottom, as you can see in the photo to the bottom left………..Now for the 3/4 length sleeve……I think we can all agree that this IS THE SEASON OF THE SLEEVE! Most of the sleeve interest has been about ruffles and tulip shapes, but that isn’t the only way to make a sleeve interesting. Please blow up, by clicking on the picture twice, the photo at the extreme upper left. You will notice that there is a wide cuff, and an approx. four inch slit on the sleeve which is faced. There are metal grommets on the cuff and along the slit. There is a self denim cord that is laced through the grommets to keep the sleeve closed. Since this is a 3/4 sleeve there shouldn’t be any problems even for my petite Ladies. The sleeve length from the SHOULDER SEAM to the BOTTOM OF THE CUFF is approx. 18 inches. Come fall, the dress will easily transition with a jewel neck or turtle neck sweater, tights or leggings, and the foot wear of your choice. I have simply accessorized the dress with one of my Fish pendants, but almost anything goes. A wonderful scarf would look great. What I think you are going to appreciate most about this somewhat classic dress is the way the fabric feels. It almost has a slightly brushed surface which gives it the smooth silky hand……….It will be very comfortable to wear…….and so simple……easy dressing…………………………………………………..enjoy………………………..much Love…………………………….Louis

…………………….When I was deciding on the second color this dress should come in I had many ideas and choices…..should it be a color color like bright pink or turquoise, maybe yellow, should it be white or black??? So why did I decide on CAMO GREEN…….First, because it’s a very utilitarian color. It always brings to mind Safari and or Military which are both very strong inspirations for me. It is also a great neutral to ADD COLOR TO…..so, for all of you who will immediately say this will wash me out, I would have to say  you have to think of all the colors you love that you could accent the Camo with. A colorful scarf, or wonderful jewelry could do the trick…….Just something to think about before you make a final decision. I have accessorized the dress with my NEW INCA JEWELRY. The PENDANT, J354070 will come with an earring, but not the one in the picture. It will be a simple single DROP PADDLE as the ones hanging from the pendant. This set is due in JUNE…. The TRIANGLE INCA EARRING, in the photo is a SEPARATE purchase. It is due this month. So many times really interesting earrings are dropped because the cost of the earring combined with the cost of the necklace is too much for QVC.  So, I asked the buyers if they would purchase this fabulous INCA EARRING, J354044 separately and they agreed. It is important enough and makes a strong enough statement to be worn on its’ own. Instead of wearing it with the matching necklace all the time switch the necklace  with a fabulous color gauze scarf.. What I want you to notice when it arrives is that there is NO FRONT OR BACK. Both sides are designed and finished the same. Now this may not seem like a big deal to you, but in the production and casting process it’s a big deal to the one who is making it. Normally the back side would be plain with some sort of simple surface. That is a much less expensive way to make a piece. Not so with these pieces. If the pendant should flip it will be the same on both sides. If someone should see the back of your earring it will be the same as the front….That’s just the way I like things done…..no corners cut…..Yes, it does make the pieces a little more expensive, but for me, to make these things the RIGHT way it very important…..Wearing a dress is so easy! You just put on your necklace, earrings and bracelets, scarves etc, then slip on some espadrilles, wedges, slides, sandals or mules. That should take all of 3 minutes. Thrown on your shoulder or cross body bag, some sun glasses, and off you go ready to enjoy the day and get ready to receive compliments……………………..enjoy……………………much Love……………………….Louis

………………….THE CAMO WING COLLAR SHIRT  with EMBROIDERY, A304745, is new for April…….This shouts SPRING/SUMMER. This is your classic WING COLLAR with a twist. First, it’s in a new stripe which is 100% COTTON. If that weren’t enough newness, I’ve added this beautiful EMBROIDERY. Wear it on it’s own with what ever bottom you choose. It happens to work perfectly with the new KHAKI BOHO, and the new DUSK CROP PANT. As a shirt jacket it looks great tied over the new Camo sleeveless dress….Three easy outfits ready to go. Add the faceted bead glass bead necklace, which matches the emb. perfectly and you are complete…..What ever size you bought in the solid Wing Collar shirt you would buy in this. I love the CAMO…..I think it’s super special!………………………………………..enjoy…………………….much Love……………………………………..Louis

……………………. The CARNATION PINK WING COLLAR SHIRT is a true classic…..add the embroidery, and you have something really special!. I have it above tied at the waist worn with my new Indigo light weight DENIM CAPRI PANT, A305606…I’ve accessorized this outfit with my CONFETTI necklace.How easy and pretty is that? Picnic anyone???…………………………………………………….

……………………The TURQUOISE in this cotton stripe is a beautiful true color. I have it shown above with two more new items due in MAY………..The TURQUOISE V-NECK TANK in WK with the ribbed bottom, A307363, and the “TRIPLE TIERED” BOHO TIE DYED SKIRT in AQUA, A306906. {It’s going to be the BIG DEAL!….I love mixing the patterns….It truly works seamlessly. The happy colors of the embroidery just add the CHERRY to the top of the cake! Of course the CARNIVAL necklace in AQUA is too perfect! It really doesn’t take anything away from the emb. shirt, but adds another layer of interest. Admirers won’t know where to look first!………………………..enjoy………………….much Love……………………Louis
