Dennis,
I love everything I have purchased from you. I am an anti-fur individual, but I love your faux furs. I am plus size and I bought a navy reversible jacket at least 25 years ago, but it still looks new! When we go to Greenbrier, WV in December, and I am wearing Dennis Basso from head to toe including outerwear I feel fabulous. This is to a fellow Pieces lover…take care and thanks for providing fashion for plus-size women.
Denis, you truly are a master of design and fashion!! I love you on QVC and watch whenever you are on. God bless you and your husband. Please stay well and safe!!!
