Where to find gauzy clothes
 
Looking for some gauzy lightweight tops and pants (not cropped ones, preferably drawstring) for travel this summer; any suggestions?

I have some gauze 3/4 sleeve tops through www.blair.com a couple years ago. Their look is a little on the mature side though. I'm trying to say that diplomatically (I'm over 50). :-)

have you tried ablambdin.com ? Most pants in stores are cropped. Another suggestion is Fresh Produce.

California Drawstrings is what I always order, they have many colors and fit well, though they do run when washed.....I turn mine inside out to help keep the color and don't wash with other things for the first few washings.

Blair is good for us older ladies (40 and over - me included) but you can also shop at J Jill or something cheaper like Newport News. I would think maybe a store like TJ Maxx and Marshalls would have gauzy clothing too.

On line sales from JJill, SoftSurroundings, Garnet Hill and TravelSmith catalogues all have some gauzy tops and lightweight pants.

J Crew has a lot of washed linen and gauzy-type beachy clothes this summer.

I second JCrew. They have a ton, I got the beach pants and LOVE them.

There are gauzy shirts, pants dresses and skirts are in lots of stores these days, especially department stores. I see them in J Jill and Chicos as well.

Chico's or Coldwater Creek.

I did a web search for gauzy clothes last winter. I still have the names of a few sites that I found:
Oh My Gauze

Gauze R Us

Deva's

I can't remember details, but if you do a google search, you should be able to find them.

JC Penney web catalog just came out with some

LLindaC May 15th, 2006 06:53 PM

just saw some great ones in my new travelsmith catalog.

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions -- I wanted to pass along that I found some terrific silk drawstring pants from softsurroundings (got the url for that here, thanks!) -- their gauzy ones didn't work out for me as well, fit-wise, but the black silk were *perfect* for the summer travel/evenings out.

I'm going to try again for the beige/tan ones -- I have a travelsmith pair that are just a bit off, but I may try there & Jjill again. Thanks again for the tips.

J Jill and Soft Surroundings do have some nice things - and are hardly for teenagers. Have you seen the woman on the latest JJill catalog - long gray hair and at least 60?

Neither one has things that are super trendy - and my mon (84) has some things from Soft Surroundings (there's no rule you have to turn dowdy at 40 - and it is possible to be fashionable when mature without imitating Ivana Trump).

Ivana Trump..scary. Ivanka, however, very cute.
