Dresses Blue Bohemian

Where do I begin? It's my favorite summer dress now. Rayon makes it flow elegantly. The cut makes me look slim without looking tight. The understated gorgeous color is one that is never boring as it looks like the extension of your skin! Then the mesmerizing design is a cross between batik & the Luis Vuitton charms. Seams sewn nicely. I'm about 5'2"", and it looks good even when I'm only wearing flats. I can only imagine it would look so much better with taller gals. Thanks Hari! Make more!

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!

The detailing is meticulous, and the pattern lovely. Be aware that the colors are more muted and not as bright as they appear in the on-line photo, but this is a beautiful dress.
