…………………….One of the newest and most exciting new fabrics I will be introducing this season is the …….CREPE GAUZE……..It is a more refined and dressier fabric than the GAUZE FABRIC that I used in the new Zip Front Jacket, A276280, which also new this season. On my April show I will have two new pieces in the Crepe Gauze……..The TIERED TUNIC…..and the PANT, shown above…………………………………………………..
…………………………The TIERED SLEEVELESS TUNIC, A276293, has two layers. The top layer is made out of the Crepe Gauze….then there is an attached second tier in GEORGETTE that creates a bottom border. Both layers have side slits which gives the tunic a BREEZY quality……. For me it has a very 20’s look to it…..especially with the TANGERINE SEED BEAD NECKLACES, J329589. It will be avail from XXS to 3X…….The length of the tunic in the XXS size is approx. 27 1/2 inches………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
…………The pant has a very LANGUID, FLUID drape. It has a full elastic waist with a center top stitch….except for a front section that I have kept flat. There are trouser pleats that add to the drape. The trouser POCKETS give the pant just the right attutide. The pant will be avail in two colors….ALABASTER above, and BLACK. The Alabaster will be lined while the black will not…….The pant has a wide leg but because of the softness of the fabric and the drape it is not an over whelming silhouette…………..The pant will be available in TWO LENGTHS. The regular length, A276294, approx 32-to 32 1/2 inches, and the petite length, A276295, sorry don’t have a measurement……The pant will be numerically sized….Why it was decided to size it this way since it is a pull-on I can’t tell you….I’m sure there was a good reason……Even though I have shown the two items matching, they are both terrific separates. Wear the Alabaster top with a contrast bottom…..of course BLACK is the best……Pencil skirts or Capri pants will both look splendid, and of course the BLACK GAUZE PANT will look superb as an alternative to the matching Alabaster……..The look of the two pieces together is pure sophistication…..pure elegance…….These are clothes for grown up women who do not want……or rely on fads and trends to make their unique statement……………………enjoy…………………Much Love…………………….Louis
Wow! Love all these pieces, especially the flowy pants with a wider leg. Will be picking up the alabaster and black. I’m not usually a pink girl but love the way you styled the pink pieces. So pretty!!
Love this set, as well as the black. Louis, I’m thinking that the Lotus Print crepe de chine swing jacket from a few summers back might look quite beautiful thrown over the top of the alabaster set, especially with the jet beads for a summer wedding. Any thoughts?
Sounds beautiful to me…..and the colors should work well…that’s making something from the past new again!
So Downton Abbey! I love it!
Hi Louis, getting ready to do some birthday shopping….(thought it’s my husbands birthday this weekend) mine is two weeks away! What better way to start an early celebrating.
See you Monday, Elaine
Louis,
Do you think your new alabaster fluid pants will also look good with the alabaster short sleeve WK sweater as well as the alabaster quilted jacket, alabaster candy shirt and the new alabaster swing cardigan coming in August. Anything else coming in Alabaster?
Thanks Louis
Joanne they are a great match…I will be showing the alabaster with the sweatwer and jacket.
A dress in alabaster gauze crepe too
what is the length for the new dress? from the natural waist?
thanks!!
Dear Debra if you are referring to the sleeveless V-neck gauze dress that is coming. I can only give you the length from HPS. What size are you interested in?
The Petites are probably going to be at least 28″ if not 29″ if the Petite sizing holds true for that inseam (as it usually is for Petite inseams).
Oh My I’m in love with all of them.
May I be the first to comment? I’m not saying that I could carry off this incredibly chic look in its entirety, but I sincerely believe that this outfit could make an appearance at the most elegant resorts, world-wide, and register as one of the most beautiful and tasteful fashions there.
I am thrilled the pant comes in a petite length.
So funny. Every time I think I’m up to bat first, I end up not being. That is a good sign.
Goldie, I know…beyond elegant. Doesn’t get much better imo. I’ve been waiting for this outfit–top of my list 🙂
Louis, I’m almost 6′ tall and all legs. Does the pant have a hem I can let down & face?
6′???!!!!Yikes!!!! Yes, it does have an inch hem, but at 6’it’s still questionable. You also have a little lee way with where you place the waist band. It can be worn lower since it’s all elastic…..You were worried about the length of the Capri legging…don’t worry at 6″ they may be pedal pushers…LOL
Hah! Thanks for the reply & the laugh! I did order the capris & will get back to you about them! To
Louis,
Another Home Run! Love this particular grouping – reminds me a bit of Eileen Fisher! Will get both the Black and Alabaster. Hope Q posts early.
