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!
This robe is not only gorgeous, but comfortable and easy care. I have washed this robe many times and each time it comes soft and ready to wear. I prefer the belt tie to lay flat, so a quick pass with a medium iron and I am good to go. I am fairly tall (5'7") and the length is perfect for me. The fabric is soft and the color is bright and beautiful.
