Large, loose-fitting dolmans are
the prevailing fashion for mid
winter coats made of heavy cloth
and fur. They have become so
popular because they are warm
and comfortable, and are easy to
slip on and to take off. They are
made with loose backs, large
rolling collars and roomy, long
sleeves. They are trimmed with
cloth-covered buttons, though
buttons made of fancy braid are
certainly a great deal newer. i.
