Great to wear under any over-top. No added bulk over the lower torso or heat around the waist.
2. Classic Trouser (5632)
The trouser has returned and don’t we love it. All those lovely, slimming vertical design lines – central leg creases, tucks, fly front, diagonal side pockets and soft, wide legs. Cropped it’s even cooler this summer.
3. Shirt (M5433)
A good classic white shirt will live forever.  4. Skirt (M5631)
Perfect for lunch with the girls or a trip to town. Dressing up is easy.
5. Loose-fit Casual Dress (M5621 or M5636)
Perfect for those 40° summer scorchers. The lightest of fabrics in a simple style that just floats past the body.
6. Caftan (M5628)
A cool, body skimming fashion friend. Make it as simple or as elaborate as you like. It is a great canvas for your other creative expressions.
7. Knit Tops (M5586 : Red view A)
You can’t have too many simple little knits. Easy wear, easy wash, no iron favourites. When you find a pattern that you love, make it again and again to add a quick splash of colour.
8. Casual Unlined Jacket (M5637)
Cool linens need little formal structure as the fabric speaks for itself. Every wardrobe needs a simple, unstructured jacket to throw on for any occasion or change in temperature.
