Thank You Seema Shah
I wanted a dress made of subtly-patterned rayon, with long sleeves, midi length. None of my usual sources had anything even close. Same with trying to find a pattern and fabric to sew it myself. Along came a Novica catalog with this Celestial Day dress by Seema Shah. It looked perfect! I was amazed how quickly it arrived from India. The dress is as pictured. The rayon fabric has a lovely drape plus an interesting dobby texture. I love the side pockets. The lining is a nice touch. The background color is great and the print is subtle and pretty. There is embroidery on the front yoke which coordinates nicely with the fabric. I am 72 and it looks and feels great on me. I would have loved it at age 22!

Beautiful craftsmanship and design
This poncho is lovely, the photos do not do justice to the beautiful craftsmanship and design. It is lightweight yet very warm, feels like a warm hug to wear. The rosewood color is a muted and flattering color for my olive-toned skin and will complement many items in my wardrobe. The beautiful packaging is an extra delight that makes this feel like a special gift. I was worried it would be too overwhelming for me at 5'3" but the length and fit are just right. I look forward to wearing this beautiful work of art for many years to come.
