Emphasises Line

Soft woollens in dark, high, defined bust lines help mellow colours, made with the fashionable effect.
One smart now example is cut from striped frog-green- and-holly-red wool, the colours being mixed in a broken stripe design.

the warm and cosy suggestion of your winter coat.
If you are thinking of making one
