Thank You Seema Shah
I wanted a dress made of subtly-patterned rayon, with long sleeves, midi length. None of my usual sources had anything even close. Same with trying to find a pattern and fabric to sew it myself. Along came a Novica catalog with this Celestial Day dress by Seema Shah. It looked perfect! I was amazed how quickly it arrived from India. The dress is as pictured. The rayon fabric has a lovely drape plus an interesting dobby texture. I love the side pockets. The lining is a nice touch. The background color is great and the print is subtle and pretty. There is embroidery on the front yoke which coordinates nicely with the fabric. I am 72 and it looks and feels great on me. I would have loved it at age 22!

Gorgeous!
"The pictures don't do it justice" is a tired cliche, but in this case, it's completely true! The bracelet is a work of art, and the quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. I could tell, immediately upon taking it out of the pretty little gift bag in which it was enclosed, that is was made by an artist who took pride in his work. This is NOT some cheap, mass-produced item from a factory in the land of novel viruses; rather, it is jewelry that I'd call heirloom quality. It truly is beautiful, it's nicely sized but not so huge that it'll be uncomfortable or awkward to wear, it arrived a little ahead of the shipping estimate, and she loves it. I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase!

Beautiful robe
This robe is not only gorgeous, but comfortable and easy care. I have washed this robe many times and each time it comes soft and ready to wear. I prefer the belt tie to lay flat, so a quick pass with a medium iron and I am good to go. I am fairly tall (5'7") and the length is perfect for me. The fabric is soft and the color is bright and beautiful.
