comfortable pants

This lovely jacket is lightweight enough to wear in warm weather when I want to add polish to my casual attire. Many times the XL sizes are still to small with other designers in Novica, but this article was carefully crafted to provide the right balance of loose and comfortable with nice tailoring. I love the color combinations and patterns that provide just the right amount of interest without going overboard. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

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!

I purchased the pants along with the matching blouse. The colors don’t quite match but you have to look real close to tell. When you’re buying handmade I don’t mind a little mismatch. The material is great for the summer and very comfortable. Would like to see another color soon.
