CARLISLE - Winter 2023 - Catalog- 6

Contemporary architecture is the source for this brilliant sheath dress in fluid Japanese crêpe. Distinctive notches create standout elegance at the boat neck. Pleats at the bodice afford an attractive, comfortable fit. The upward-oriented pointed waist seam in front contrasts with the downward-oriented curved waist seam in back. There are also back curved princess seams for extra shaping.

Modern tailoring distinguishes this suit in a bright new navy blue called nouvean. The jacket with a hammered, shiny nickel button foregoes collar and lapels for sleek notches. Its front shaping panels become pocket flaps. The pleated, wide-leg trousers have an asymmetrical front yoke. Both pieces coordinate with the same blue found in the oversized peony print blouse. Its unique asymmetrical pleating wraps around the placket.
