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!

My new favorite sweater
I love this sweater, the beautiful blue tones really pop against the cream background. The detail work is of very high quality. The only other thing is that it is a little thinner than other alpaca sweaters Iāve bought from Novica, but itās still worth every penny. Muchas gracias Violeta, es una verdadera artesana!
