Thank you Joannadyne! Oh yes! I know the lure so well with these kinds of colors on Sulfures. They make an intriguing moussie and are hard to tame. My pale Karnak was a little like that but now I couldn’t do without it. I love it with the green tee! That’s what is so odd with these kind is you think you have to go opposite and sometimes you actually need to go pale or neutral to make them ethereal. How is it with cream or pale pink or pale yellow? We can have a comparison shoot. I’ll pull out some Karnak pics. White actually ended up as it’s worst combination and I thought that was going to be good but no. Grey, black and skin tone and oatmeal neutrals are what it wants.
Lol- I have made myself make that stole work...but decided in the end I need a lot less effort than a stole requires of me so limiting the numbers seem best!
Ooh- that is also an ethereal challenge. That color (Tilleul was it ?? and I know the spelling is botched) is so glowy I like it with your hair! Try it bias folded and with the tails down the back. I think you might like that casual vibe. You may have to try a few different shirt colors til you find a comfort fit with it. Have you tried working with the golden caramel colors in it yet?
Last week I was in a very popular vacation spot and went to H to look at their 140 mousselines. Guess what: they don‘t carry them. At all! Very disappointing
Yes- they stopped producing the designed ones this past spring. Just the losenges and the BdG Quadri GM though that one is very pretty in its own way. People say airport H’s are a good place to try if you get a chance and online still has some.
I love you more for the Peter Murphy shirt.
My misspent youth! Huge Bauhaus fan.The burgundy is a surprise cool thing to pick up on! It really brings out the millefiori canes.
Like both you and @Joannadyne I am used to the more thin and slippery newer variety of chiffon more than the older crepe like ones and do tend to save those for cooler weather. Now that you’ve mentioned it, some of the “rehomes” have been mainly older ones since the crepe weight works better when it is cool for me but but they were “summer” patterns that I wouldn’t have worn for cool weather. (Also why most of them have to look good with black, grey or dark items since I do use them year round.)

and I LOVE JL!) , or color ends up not working on me after several tries or is too redundant.
) But I must remember every design merits its own review. One of the biggest problems for me is subject matter and colourways. No matter how much I love the colourway if I don’t like the subject matter I won’t wear it. An expensive mistake that I do not want to repeat again.
I've had it for a couple of decades....)
that you all wear the mousselines with such elan!
