ring set

Gosh, how I love these sweaters! When the cherry one arrives any day now, I will own 3. This beige and turquoise one is gorgeous. The colors are subdued, but somehow the whole sweater manages to look sexy, to hide any bodily "flaws," and to look slimming. The patterns line up perfectly, the size is perfect, and the sweater looks great open or buttoned. I highly recommend this sweater and the artist, Ana Fernandez.

I love this dress! Comfy. Flattering. Can wear anytime and anywhere! The colors are fabulous and it launders well.

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!
