They have a website. I love the fabric for summer, it's dressy but not too formal.<BR/><BR/>Issey Miyake Pleats Please is also good for storage and travel but tend to look a bit more formal - I have loads of that too.<BR/><BR/>Infact my life would not be the same without practical pleats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-11440590877385513412008-06-26T12:32:00.000-04:002008-06-26T12:32:00.000-04:00I bought a black silk one two years ago and I have...I bought a black silk one two years ago and I have to declare it timeless (even if Vogue isn't jotting down my words). Mine has a blissfully light two layers, and I wore it with a long loose top for comfortable and casual days in Portugal's heat earlier this month (we've had no heat here on the West Coast at all!). Long (maxi) floral sundresses were in all the shop windows in Paris, so they've come 'round again. Maybe the broomstick (or at least long, flowy) skirt's coming 'round again as well. And anyway, aren't we leading, rather than following, the crowd? I agree with Pseu -- we'll just make it our own!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-71626662374706745602008-06-26T11:21:00.000-04:002008-06-26T11:21:00.000-04:00Move to rural Wisconsin.
