Italian for Dinner

Aperitivo: Say “Cin Cin,” and give each other a wink.You’re off to a perfect start in Vannina Vesperini’s Alhambra Gold Bralette Set with its shimmering embroidery on sheer champagne tulle.  

Antipasto: Create a brilliant composition of little tastes and colors. Dress yourself accordingly in your next layer, Vannina’s Vegetal Camisole. Its jacquard floral body is suspended all around from a racerback yoke of transparent unlined botanical lace.

Primo Piatto (first plate): Sustain yourselves with spaghetti. Just add a sprinkle of parmegiano and the elegant palazzo pants from Grazia’Iliani’s Chartreuse Floral Pajama Set. 

Secondo Piatto (second plate): Something from the grill. Make a fine presentation in Dana Pisarra’s Romantic Amande Cardigan with its semi-transparent mohair knit and lace-trimmed shoulders.

Contorni (side dishes): Little plates to round things out. Artichoke? Greens? A swath of silk chiffon? The Cloud Rainforest Giant Square Scarf from Klements! 

Dolce (something sweet): Maybe save this for later. When the time comes, start fresh with just Gilda & Pearl’s Gilded Macaron Slip constructed entirely of pale pink floral Leavers lace. Buonanotte!

Loving attention to detail is the Italian way. Practice it for an intimate dinner and, always, with your interchangeable wardrobe from Jane’s Vanity.
