blue rings

I mistakenly reviewed the duster as the dress, but both are wonderful. Easy and comfortable to wear. I've gotten many compliments on it from complete strangers. As I said in my other review, my friend saw me in the dress and wanted one for herself; she bought one the same day that she saw it.

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 styling, especially the neckline with its sparkly, silvery small squares, is simply fabulous. The fabric and the print ... also fabulous and well-chosen for this dress. Silver-studded neckline, glimmering gold threads in the dress make this dress pair well with both gold and silver accessories. I instantly felt transformed into a fashionista when I wore this dress to a family dinner. And at age 77, looking and feeling like a movie star isn't so easy to do. Thank you, Anchal, for making me look and feel simply beautiful.
