“THE FUCHSIA TUNIC”

split tunic1

***********This new WK TUNIC SWEATER, A262032……looks deceiving simple, but has a lot of  subtle details! It has a very flattering open neckline. Narrower than a Ballet, but more open than a Jewel. The CENTER FRONT has two TUBULAR STRIPS going down the front……from neckline to hem….creating a very clean and finished slit at the bottom. The sleeves are long and so is the sweater….approx. 29 inches long for the xxs, which is what the sample is on my form. The silhouette follows the lines of the body. Since the sweater is in the…….ENR CONSTRUCTION……it does not CLING and lays very smoothly over the body. For those of you who own W Knits in this fabric you know what I’m saying. For those of you who are new to Linea the EVERY NEEDLE RIB CONSTRUCTION [ENR] is a special setting on the knitting machines that uses ALL of the needles and produces a fabric that uses double the amount of yarn than a basic jersey, such as the V-neck or Turtle neck sweaters…This is all very technical, but what it means is QUALITY……….NO ONE at QVC uses this construction, not that they can’t, but is a slower production, and between the time and the additional amount of yarn needed, is a more costly one. I used to make many of my Anne Klein sweater with this ENR construction, and I’m so happy I am able to bring it to you. Another advantage of the ENR construction is….the sweater comes off the machine with a finished bottom, so there is no need to add any additional tubular  trims or ribs to finish it, as you would on a jersey sweater. This keeps it light and eliminates any bulk……….We are calling the color above….FUCHSIA…..but as in nature,,,,there are many kinds and shades of Fuchsia……This is a CLEARER, BRIGHTER Fuchsia that can be worn all year. That is the reason I have decided to show it to you two ways….. BLACK for WINTER….and IVORY for SPRING……With the spring version I have it with an ivory Linea ponte skirt and the new CLUSTER NECKLACE. J317112, in the CLEAR…. along with the CLEAR FACETED BEAD GLASS DROP EARRING, J291538. There is also a beautiful Clear Glass faceted bead stretch bracelet, J291536, that looks marvelous with these pieces. I really think this bracelet has been overlooked and definitely fills a void in your jewelry wardrobe……………For WINTER I chose a black WK pencil skirt, A253411 or A237412 [two different lengths], and the same three jewelry pieces in BLACK JET…Add a fabulous patterned LINEA BODY TIGHT to add that something special!….Actually, both looks work for Winter and Spring!……………………………….. ……………………………………………………………………..enjoy………………. much Love…………………………..Louis

    What fun combinations. So, the length is about the same as the SWING TUNIC?

      It’s a little longer.

    Well……now we’re talking! These sweaters are right up my alley. I love the neckline, hemline, length, and colors. The slits at the hem almost guarantee there is no tight look around the hip area. Casual but classy. Wear for business meetings and going out for dinner or movie. And, except for July and August I will wear these all year. The pink and green will be in my shopping cart. I have plenty if Isaac scarves and Linea jewelry to change the look. thanks Louis. Good job!

    Wow! Love this sweater and all the happy colors and ENR to boot!

    Beautiful sweater, WOW! 29″ is a great length, if only that would be the length for all sizes. By the time it goes up to my much larger 1X, it will be 32″ and much too long for me.

    Why can’t the length be consistent for all sizes?

    Are we going to see a lot more of this green or fuchsia from you this spring? I’m trying to decide which color and I want to choose the one that has more coordinating pieces going forward. Love the design. Scrumptious!
