Some of the loveliest cloaks
were fashioned from cerise or
crimson, and that rich red we call
wine, and were heavily and
elaborately embroidered. The con.

the wraps of ermine was regal.
Metal fabrics have invaded the
outer garment world for even

that seem to grow best on French
soil, and was made Of folds OF
the most brilliantly lovely Per

WRAPPED about like the folds
Of a Hindu's turban, the
folds were caught at the left side

The long sleeves were gathered
