geometric patterns

I was so happy when I opened this package and saw the quality of the work and the quality of the fabric. I feel it is wearable art! I absolutely love it I am 5'7" now ;I have shrunk at 80 and I weigh 161. I have the typical after menopause body; more weight below bust to hips. Not curvy anymore . I usually wear a size 12 or 14 and I bought the large. It is very roomy, but not baggy. it still would have fit if I bought the M , But I like this a bit oversized. I am pretty cute in this for an old lady!

This is a wonderful dress. Cotton, comfy, lovely colors. The material is nice and heavy so no worries about see-through. It's generously sized- I had to return my original purchase for a smaller size. I don't normally like buying clothes without seeing them so I dithered for a while about buying this but I am very happy with 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!
