pattern rings

The care and quality of this shirt is stunning. The detail on the front and back are truly lovely. I can't wait to buy more items.

Absolutely lovely skirt. It is lined, with elastic in the back. The weight of it is substantial. The stitching is of great quality and the embroidery as beautiful as the picture. I predict this garment will last me many years for it's quality. Definitely worth the price. I have never been disappointed with the quality of Novica's products but I admit it took me two years to purchase. Luckily for me the skirt kept coming back in the fall catalog and I only regret not making the purchase sooner. I plan to wear over the holidays. I hope more similar skirts will become available in the future.

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!
