Examples include Luzifer's Seamed Silk Tank Top ($155), a figure-flattering and perfect for the warm weather sleeveless top shaped with a fitted scoop-neck bodice and slanted spiral seaming at the waist and hem for a playful look.

The hemp and silk blend goes perfectly with Luzifer's Gipsy Silk Blend Skirt ($235) a hemp and silk blend circular knee-length skirt with a low-rise hip panel and spiral seaming.

Luzifer's Pleated Linen Skirt ($395) is a slim, sleek pencil skirt with horizontal pleating to create a "shutter" effect and add haute appeal.
