Beautiful craftmanship
This sweater is truly beautiful. It was a birthday present for my husband, and he loves the color and the drapiness of the knit. It is also flawlessly made. I wasn't sure whether to order the Medium or the Large. My husband is a standard "Large" in U.S. sizes, so that's what I ordered. The Large size is loose enough on him that he can easily wear it over a collar shirt, with a little extra room to spare. The Medium would have been too small, he says.

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!
