My 1st reaction...meh.

 

My 1st thought about the new 'scuba' fabric...

a rubbery texture?  dahblink.gif

 

An easy pass.

 

For those purchasing, enjoy!

I have multiple Gravel tops and I wear them often, my favorite designer but I'm not a fan of stripes so  this one is a easy pass for me. For those who love it, enjoy your purchase.

I think this fabric would make me hot, and I would need more room at the hips, and stripes are a no. I also don't like the cuffs or the front zipper placket. The only thing I like are the colors, especially the pink. They should have made this under $50, but maybe are trying to pay for the free shipping. Why is it that 95 poly/5 spandex feels great to me, but half and half cotton/poly or modal/poly feels hot?

Black, Lily Pad Green and Cream are not stripes. These are solid colors.

I'm skeptical about the Scuba Luxe. I've never had anything with this fabric, so I will pay attention to Kim's description.

 

 

 

 I love anything nautical, and I have a lot. So I don't really need this. Right now I'm probably leaning to passing, but we'll see!  Smiley Wink

 

 

 

ETA: I got the black petite and matching pants! Trying "scuba" for the first time. I plan to wear this Christmas Day, when we don't go anywhere! But we still take family pictures.  Smiley Happy

I won't br ordering but if I did I would get the petite then size up one size to XS because of how long it is

I'm not a fan of this look .  It's another tunic, the colors are not very exciting and I don't care for the gold tone zipper on each one. 

 

However, I'm glad to see that Kim is finally offering a petite sized top!  Hopefully going forward her line will add more petite tops.
