Description
Four clippings. There are a variety of small clippings with newspaper names on this clipping. Thus it is unclear where the first clipping is from or the date. This clipping has a drawing of a woman in a dotted knit two-piece brown waffle knit dress. The dress has a fancy cowl neck collar. It costs $29.75. The second clipping is from the Detroit, Michigan News, December 22, 1958. This clipping has a article discussing Cashin's jersey and knit designs. There is a photograph of a woman in a sculpted knit ensemble by Cashin with a square-necked dress topped by a boxy jacket. The jacket is shot with metallic threads. The dress is spanned with a gold cord belt. It comes in beige or black and the outfit is $79.95. The third clipping is (possibly?) from the Hartford, Connecticut Courant, November 26, 1992. The clipping discusses couture knit dresses and their versatility. There is a photograph of a woman in a slender sheath wth a deep slash neckline that fastens with a gold stick pin and a 3-yard sash to wrap the midriff. A band of ribbed knitting runs from neckline to the edge of a capped sleeve. The dress comes in beige, blue and pink. The fourth clipping is (possibly?) from the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Globe-Times, January 29, 1958. This article discusses the new kind of sweater girl coming into fashion. Cashin's knit designs are discussed.
