Description: Press release: From Donna Cannon 104 East 52 St. Pl 3-7072 / Though April showers may come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in May. And they bring you Bonnie Cashin's Barnstormers, the gayest, most flattering raincoats on the fashion horizon today. Gone are dreary days of rain when everyone wore their oldest clothes. For Bonnie Cashin puts fashion in to "rainy" clothes. For evening and dressy wear, she uses pure silk taffeta shangtung in gold and trims it with a chic velvet bow tie. Copied exactly from an artist's smock, it has a flaring back, full graduated front, and elasticized bellow pockets. Sleeves are elasticized above a wide cuff to push high if desired. The fabric, the taffeta lining and the velvet tie are all water repellent. Available at: Please credit: A Bonnie Cashin design from Main Street. #22 W/S $49.75 R/T Around $90.00
