It Is said that these brocades have been

There Is one frock In red. green and
gold brocade that shines like some OF

5rocades In white that are embossed
with crystals and Jewels, and there are
midnight blue, dull silver and deep req

long to a fifteenth century canvas In

Probably they were made before the
war broke out and were then SUBJ
merged by the demand for simple ma

whence they came, but II was an In

1t Is not only worn by one who Is IN

the brocade is midnight blue. and the
design stamped on 1t in silver is a pea
