• Dark Gray Tropical Melange Suiting - It's no longer just about the little black dress. Now, you can also have the perfect black jumpsuit (PBJ, if you will) This dark gray suiting is almost black, but with a subtle heather finish, almost like a wool suiting. The fabric is soft and supple, exactly what you want for this pattern. Your finished garment will be elegant and ready for whatever you throw at it - sandals and a bold necklace for a lazy weekend or heels and a blazer for that important meeting at work. This jumpsuit does it all, just like you!
• Mustard Viscose Linen Slub - There have been too many mustard jumpsuits floating around lately for me to ignore the trend. Bright colors are the name of the game, and I'm ready and willing to play. This rich mustard comes in the form of a linen viscose blend, meaning not only is the fabric bold, it is also soft and textural, everything you want in a fabric for this more architectural pattern. The saturated color will really show off the twist at the center and it will create a great palette against which you can play with jewelry and layers, scarves and footwear. So many options!
