………………………March 10 continued with a very chic “SCHOOL BOY” or “ETON” jacket. This one was a woven stripe made in a Cotton./Poly/Span blend. The entire three button jacket was banded in White cotton twill…..The collar and lapel, the front, the hems of the bottom and sleeves, and the four pocket bands were in contrast white. There was even a white stripe of cotton that started at the neckline across the shoulder seam and down the center of the arm.. It came in Navy and White and Raspberry with White. I actually didn’t want the Raspberry. I originally had the navy with white and BURGUNDY with white which I think looked much more authentic…but “they” felt it was too dark. With all the white it was no darker than the navy and IMHO much more sophisticated……but they wrote the orders so I had to relinquish. As it turns out the navy sold very well with the raspberry a dismal second. I don’t know if the Burgundy would have done better, but I like to think it would have….The scoop neck vest in the stripe with the contrast bands coordinated with the jacket. It was great on its’ own, and looked wonderful under white jackets too…….A white and navy cotton twill pant was also part of the assortment…..The “REGATTA” stripe cardigan in the the cotton/acrylic blend was part of the “school boy” look…It came in Navy/White, Yellow/Aqua and Raspberry Pink/Lavender………The jacket to the left was the same as the FALL BOUCLE only in COTTON. It came in Navy and Ivory with classic four hole rimmed gold buttons………The shirt at the extreme left was in a Rayon/Span….It had a zip front. It had shirring on either side of the front placket and from the princess seams. It also had shirring on the sleeves. It came in Black and Turquoise. I really wasn’t sure if this was a style for plus sizes, because it had to be very fitted for the style to look right…….right??? However, it was the plus sizes that sold out first….so what do I know!
