The RAYON/SPAN TOP, A253378, and the CHIFFON BORDERED SKIRT, A253407, will be on my April 3rd show in this saturated……..LAPIS BLUE………….The more styles I do in this fabulous quality of RAYON/SPAN, the more popular it is becoming. The weight of this particular quality of rayon/span is unique to Linea. It is a heavier weight and a more substantial fabric then most. Its’ hand has a certain richness, which has been appreciated by the women who have purchased it. The cowl tunic, the faux wrap dance skirt, the body suit and the dance tunic with the chiffon bottom overlay were all made in this quality of rayon/span. If you haven’t tried it, I’m sure you too will love it……….Let’s talk SHEER………………Sheer is one, if not the biggest, trend to come from the runways in years. Every designer had sheer in one way or another…….from the ridiculous to the sublime! I could not do a Spring 2014 collection without doing my version of sheer for my Linea Ladies……….These pieces are perfect for all lifestyles…..play, work or an evening out…….these are pieces you will enjoy showing off…………..
The TOP has a V-neck line with a separate set in V banding…..a wonderful finish and a beautiful added detail. The top is approx. 24 inches long for the xs. What really makes this top SPECIAL are the SHEER SLEEVES, which are made out of a fine mesh stretch fabric. At the bottom of the sleeve there is a 2 1/2 inch rayon/span band cuff to finish it off……..It’s the perfect piece to mix and match with all the new pieces coming for April….like the linen blend jacket and pant…white jeans or…….the denim vest etc etc……..It can be very casual or party ready………………..For me this top has a COUTURE ATHLETIC LOOK…..very RUNWAY…..very EDITORIAL…………………
The RAYON/SPAN SKIRT is PULL-ON. The entire back and three quarters of the front has elastic. There are flat pleats in the front to give ease and to provide the sweep at the hem……they also provide camouflage.. Even with the sweep….the skirt hangs very straight as you can see from the pictures above. There are POCKETS in this skirt hidden in the seam which is placed a little more forward than a normal side seam would be…..This is to give easy access and they are more comfortable in this position………….Again, what makes this skirt of the moment, and gives it the edge you look for in today’s clothing……………is the SHEER CHIFFON BORDER………The border is approx. 5 inches on a skirt that is approx. 28 inches long…..including the border. Casual with flip flops and a white “T”………. or with clear jeweled sandals and the matching top you can not go wrong. Day or night, for fun or the office, this is a skirt that will work for you and certainly will be FUN to wear………………………scroll down…………..much Love………………………………………………Louis
Louis, these pieces are lovely. How does the weight of the fabric used in these pieces compare to the rayon/spandex blend used for the abstract print V-neck long sleeve shirt and pleat-front skirt from last winter? Is it heavier, or the same weight?
Thanks much.
Forgot to say how much I love the jacket and so happy to see the lapis color in other designs.
Love the see thru in lapis and the cuffs will allow you to push up the sleeves.
Hoping and praying for the white denim vest and pants…they make the jacket.
So glad the sleeves are full length, they look vry elegant. So, this is the only difference between the two jackets. The ponte knit has 3/4 doesn’t it. So glad to get the black ponte knit jacket…
…for so many things this summer.
Hi Louis,
Love love love the sneak peaks! I have a question. Will the lapis blue chiffon bordered skirt work with the Prima B top in blue?
Thanks for the lovely pieces!
Ellie
No…it’s too much skirt for that top.
