Linea embroidery

Purseone — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 19:28:33 GMT

Louis embroidery is just fabulous. He mentioned this morning there are 10 colors in his floral embroidered new shirt of pebble Crepe.These are fantastic for the price. If you look at of Sundance catalog, you’ll see that anything embroidered is at least three times as much as this price. I ordered two of these new tops. And they will go well into the fall. He showed them with boots and a beret and they were just darling.

I only ordered one but am seriously considering a second one as they are not only stunningly beautiful, but look comfortable and easy, and I already love the gauze crepe. The models looked super, and the first thing I thought when seeing the complete outfit on Ellen was "Cossack"! And then Louis explained his inspiration and yes, totally Russian.....I'll probably get the skirt too and I already have the boots and beret!

Louis does embroidery like none other, rich with depth and subtleties in color. Wonderful.

I'm not an embroidery person but I remember my roommate in college loved doing it and she couldn't help but convince me to let her do a small area on a pair of my jeans and I really liked it a lot.

When I saw this on his blog I wasn't too impressed I think because the embroidery really has it's own presence and I personally wouldn't wear any necklace with it but when I saw this morning I thought it look beautiful and comfortable.

@authorwhich color did you order?

I caved and got black! I had planned on Merlot, but black just works better for my wardrobe and looks good on me too. Loved the colors in the embroidery on all three colors.

I love black but colors grab me more I love the teal or melot can't decide which.

I bought the Merlot. This is such a distinctively different sort of top for me as I am typically not an "embroidery person." However, I wasn't a "lace person" either until I tried Louis's creations.

I love tonal embroidery - this is a pass for me.

It is not often that we have teal in the Linea line so I ordered teal.

I ordered the black tunic with the matching pants. I will probably belt the tunic.

Bright colored embroidery seems to "pop" more on black than any other color.

I ordered the teal. Really like the merlot as well, but I'm thinking that this is so distinctive that it might be overkill to have it in two colors. Still thinking about it......

I ordered the merlot so it could be worn with the matching crops or the dark sand gauze crepe pants.

I purchased the merlot crops so it could be worn with the asymmetrical desert sand tank in the gauze crepe material.

IMO, the embroidery is the jewelry.

Watched Louis and Kristen this afternoon . . . huge difference from the early morning show with another host. The host was unprofessional, kept hugging, talking about her family, red lipstick on a model, and had very limited vocabulary (extremely annoying). About half way through Jennifer Reed seemed to realize they hadn't walked over to the models. She tried to focus the show on the Linea clothing and her crop pants, but the host was unprepared (didn't know colors, again) and seemed to be "winging it". Viewers didn't have a clue about the embroidery, the fabric, how/why Louis designed the top for today! Thus, I didn't order anything.

Day brightener! Kristen was professional and asked great questions. Louis, of course, responded with answers to provide viewers with an interesting and educational show. Love to hear Louis' ideas for his designs and his methods! His talents are unique and it shows in the clothing he offers. Kristen gave LDO and his gorgeous embroidered top the respect he deserves. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I've ordered it in teal. Thanks for a great presentation, Kristen and Louis! Makes all the difference if I order or not.

@BirkiLady I think the show that had Jennifer on was more like 2 girlfriends getting together to discuss fashion & have a good time. A different vibe from when Louis was on with Kerstin.

Re: Linea embroidery

BirkiLady — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 23:01:23 GMT

Exactly. Think Jennifer was blindsided, yet tried to be kind. Bet it doesn't happen again. I could have continued to sleep! Who needs that nonsense?

Is there a remote possibility that any one of you who ordered this top has received it yet? I'm curious as to the sizing and fit and would like to avoid a return/exchange. TIA.

@rochelleS

Not yet, but I just checked and it arrived at my PO at 11:21 this morning. So maybe it will be out for delivery tomorrow. If I get it, I'll let you know. (Knowing the US Postal Service, I might have to wait till Monday!)

@rochelleS

Mine arrived at local PO today so I am hoping for delivery Saturday! Will post here about sizing.

Re: Linea embroidery

queendiva — Sat, 21 Jul 2018 00:35:30 GMT

Mine is also at my P.O. today so I should have it before noon tomorrow.

Thank you @shoesnbags. I hope you do receive your top tomorrow. Sometimes when the shipping stars are aligned I've had next day or two day deliveries. Only via straight UPS though and expedited when my local hub chooses to bypass the post office when trucks are in the neighborhood. This saves many extra days too.

I have the teal on check and ordered two sizes in the moss crepe asymmetrical neckline. A couple years ago I received a dark teal sunburst skirt from the bay. Obviously a sample color that looks sooo close, I'm now hoping to find match or at least coordinate. Yes, I do wear a light colored solid top with the skirt but am looking for more oomph in this gorgeous shade. I believe the next Big Deal may be a floral print top/blouse of some kind so there's potentially more options coming up. I've got the crepe gauze pant on hold too 'cause I'm loving the look in case matching my skirt doesn't work out.

Thank you kindly for responding. ♡♡♡
