…………………………I have had many requests over the years, but one that keeps coming up frequently is a COTTON SLEEVELESS SHIRT!…………..I have presented one almost every season to the buyers, and have explained that this IS a strong customer request. This season they finally said YES……………..A287743, is the style number of my new SLEEVELESS “WING” COLLAR SHIRT, and I think it’s PERFECT!…………First, it is made in my SIGNATURE FINE TWILL STRETCH COTTON. It has PRINCESS SEAMS for a body skimming fit. It also has a curved bottom which I believe gives a slimming effect…..The armhole is bra friendly, and it’s neither too high nor to low……….What I love most about the shirt is the WING COLLAR. This is a collar that works with everything. It works perfectly with cardigans, all sorts of jackets, V-neck sweaters and dresses, vests….etc. etc. etc……It also is a collar that works with many style necklaces…..from the LONG GOLD STATION CROSSES above, J270119, [now only avail in the goldtone as shown], to all kinds of TORSADES like the MARDI GRAS necklace that has already sold out……….Really, how useful is a sleeveless shirt?……….IMHO…..very……It goes without saying that there is nothing cooler in the heat and humidity of the summer than a cotton sleeveless shirt! However, for all of the other seasons it is the PERFECT LAYERING PIECE…………If you always feel uncomfortable wearing TWO sets of sleeves, and you feel like a stuffed sausage because the jacket or cardigan sleeve doesn’t accommodate the shirt sleeve….then this is you answer. If you are wearing a short or 3/4 sleeve jacket or cardigan, and you don’t like the look of a long sleeved shirt hanging out….then this is your answer!……There are endless ways to wear this sleeveless shirt. The WING COLLAR just makes the “look” sharper, cleaner, and brings all the attention to the face. It’s the perfect FACE FRAMER…………………..How many do you want in……..WHITE??????!!!!!. I think at the very least TWO, and you know it will be the first color to sell out. I know you will probably want one of each of the other colors too……..The WHITE shirt worn with the new LONG BLACK WK ENR CARDIGAN, A287608, and a pair of white jeans or dress pants can become your Spring/Summer uniform, not to mention being the chicest woman in the room………Want to keep cool? Pair it with you boho skirts…..solid or print….anyone will do. Of course the WHITE shirt with the BLACK Boho can vie for the chicest woman in the room too! Wear it with a fabulous wedge like the Marc Fisher banded black suede espadrille, A274290….some glamour black sunglasses….a large black or straw tote and off you go…..looking hot, but staying cool!……..Ladies you wanted the shirt and now you have it!…………..IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!!!!! I will be showing this shirt for the very first time next Saturday……MARCH 11th, on AM STYLE. It will probably be posted on the night of the 10th so be on the look out………………………..enjoy………………….much Love…………………..Louis
A few of these are going in my shopping cart as soon as they are posted. How fab they will look under any sweater. I hope the buyers at the Q will give Louis some credit for knowing what his client base wants. I only wish the travel-fabric maxi dresses would have been ordered. The one’s in my closet are the cat’s meeeeeeeow!
Are these blouses done in numerical sizing or S, M, L etc. Thanks.
The shirts are numerically sized….4,6,8 etc
Louis?
What is the length of the sleeveless shirts? I am 5’6″ and long waisted. Unfortunately I find many of your pieces are cut too short for me.
Dear Janner….it is approx 26 inches to the center front for the xs
Finally!!! Now I can stop cutting the sleeves out of my wing collar shirts!! I will be hoping for more colors in the future.
Really. Who does not need this shirt in white? I love the look of a white collared shirt for layering, but it never works with sleeves for me. Too much bulk. I never show my arms in sleeveless anything. Long overdue for layering in my Linea wardrobe.
Yeah!!! Can’t wait for these-will start stalking this week, just in case they post early. I was worried the QVC ptb would wait until summer to being these in not realizing that we need these now to wear under sweaters and jackets. White and pink for me for sure and that aqua may have me under its spell as well. Thanks much, Louis for your persistence!
Hi Louis & Jac,”Behind the scenes Linea lady here” …Holy Columbo…It’s about time! I’ve been waiting for a sleeveless winged collar shirt for ages. I live in the desert southwest and yes it gets HOT here. I’ve always liked the look of a collar shirt, but don’t like the bulk on the arms when wearing a sweater or jacket over it. This will be a staple in my wardrobe.
I know baby steps when it comes to the QVC buyers, but I would love to see this in a true red and black.
Thank You Louis, for continuing to “push” this blouse for us. Jac, thank you for your facebook updates and all your input.
Oh Louis, I am “over the moon” happy with these shirts!! Your previous sleeveless button front shirts are in my closet in all of the colors, but they need some company. I’ve waited for another cool, sleeveless shirt, and here it is. Plus these are all colors I can wear. I expect to practically live in these this summer – with boho skirts and with pants. Gotta have two of each color! I was having a difficult day, and you just turned my mood around. I hope that these do so well you are able to bring them back in more colors next year. Can’t wait to order!
Dear Yvette …..I so pleased you are happy with the shirt and the colors. I think you may like these even more with the wing collar. Remember they will be on next Sat. On AM Style
Thanks Louis. I prefer sleeveless shirts. I like less bulk. Next Saturday is March 11, are you on AM Style?
Yes Joanne…..with the sleeveless shirt!
Hi Louis
I am looking forward to the sleeveless shirt next Saturday. I absolutely love your (A285546) Linea WK Long Sleeve Sweater. Your new sleeveless shirt will be perfect to create yet another outfit with those spectacular sweater. I have purchased multiples in that sweater, because you indicated it was not a success. Hard to believe! I accessorize that sweater with scarves, jewelry, belts, sleeveless turtlenecks and now your sleeveless shirt.
