This blouse looks just like the photo and the colors make me happy. The fabric is very lightweight so it can be worn over a T-shirt in an air conditioned space or on its own outside on hotter days.
Absolutely lovely skirt. It is lined, with elastic in the back. The weight of it is substantial. The stitching is of great quality and the embroidery as beautiful as the picture. I predict this garment will last me many years for it's quality. Definitely worth the price. I have never been disappointed with the quality of Novica's products but I admit it took me two years to purchase. Luckily for me the skirt kept coming back in the fall catalog and I only regret not making the purchase sooner. I plan to wear over the holidays. I hope more similar skirts will become available in the future.
