"Beautiful and fun wide-leg pants"
The batik is lovely and the pants fun to wear. They generate compliments whenever I have worn them. I love the side pockets.

"Lovely pattern"
I love the pattern on this top. It is both bold and soft. I wish that the fabric was just a little heavier so that it would hang better.

Mom took a picture of herself in the dress and sent it to me so thats how I know she really likes it! She looked adorable in the dress as she added some red assessors to create an outfit that popped.

"Fabric beautiful -- front v-neck with thin shoelace-like cords disappointing and impractical"
This was so disappointing. The fabric is beautiful and high quality. Unfortunately, though, the front has a very deep v-neck that is strung with a long round shoelace-like cord and it does not make for an attractive neckline, in my opinion. The cords in the the front needlessly complicate the dress and detract from the design of the fabric, not adds to it. If I could, I would alter the design by reversing the dress, making the back v neck the front, and cut off all the cord loops on the front and sew the existing front v together so it could be used for a simple V for the back, but thats too much trouble. I urge the designer to offer an option of a design with that uses a v neck like the the back V as BOTH the front and back. Id be first in line to buy it! But now, if one uses the front V-neck with the shoelace-like cord, any bra would be visible. The front V is simply not a design choice Im happy with and, in my opinion, its not worthy of this stunning fabric .

"Gorgeous Caftan"
This is a beautiful and original loose-fitting garment that wows whoever sees it. I wear it over jeans or leggings and the effect is stunning. I very much enjoy the compliments I am receiving, so would like to pass them on to the designer: thank you for creating such a comfortable and head-turning caftan! I am a fan!
