I have a newfound appreciation for the Ivana/Karin/Petra group after trying to make a silk night shirt with pleats last week. What a pain pleats are! Particularly when you’re working with delicate fibers like cotton crepe and silk charmeuse. I have the utmost respect for Araks and the quality of construction on all her garments, and I know I’m not alone in my enthusiasm. You’ll be pleased to note that we’ve received the Graphite, Prussian and Black sets, pictured above, as well as the Petra cami in Graphite. If you haven’t tried this group yet, now is the perfect time!
