Don’t get me wrong. I love flowers. Big ones! But what I cringe to think of are those big Hawaiian Mumus like the ones they sell at Hilo Hattie’s, the “warehouse” hawaiian shirt store in all of the tourist towns in Hawaii!
So, how does this beautiful coat get it right? First of all the print is exquisite. It reminds me of Pucci. The other thing that sets this coat apart is the tailoring. It is made with the reality of body structure in mind. The darts around the neckline neatly frame the face. The shoulder pads are there for support but are not over the top in a linebacker way and the sleeve and hem length draw the eye down to just the right spot. The finish details are extraordinary: Bracelet length ruched sleeves, corded detail and a covered snap closure at the neck, slanted welt pockets at the front, and a stitched down pleat detail at back neckline.
