Description
Text of press release: "The Oriental mystique has always held a fascination for Bonnie Cashin. The grace of Persian robes inspired this wrap-around tunic which she created for Philip Sills Company, with its dramatic swing of trailing sleeves, which are also worn tied up at the shoulders to form an interesting double sleeve effect.Of British woolen in a ropey plaid of bronze and cyclamen tones, its soft wrap-into folds are held by a wide suede cumberbund [cummerbund] type of sash. Narrow Persian pants and a skinny hooded jersey shirt complete the look. (The hood forms a cowl worn down). bonnie intends this look for winter evenings, perhaps at the theatre or a mixed-beat party. A completely new way to dress up.No. 3721 - $240.00.EXCLUSIVE TO YOU IN YOUR CITYAVAILABLE IN YOUR CITY"
