Actually, I quite like the stole format. Easy to tie, and less material around the neck which is nice during our warm weather in California.
It must be less popular as there always seem more choices with the GM format. I do think you may get more silk per dollar in the GM format.
Here is a pic from last Friday- in honolulu
Rose compas stole from last year.
You wear Mousselines so well, the blue Rose de Compassis amazing , so vibrant and glorious on you .
I also love Paradis de Soie the swirls of colour on white are delicious. I hope you do get this , it's really special.
I had a Mousseline stole which didn't work colour wise, and agree it's a great format .
I'm finding the 140cm too voluminous , I can't seem to make it work. Yet on others the size looks fantastic.
