Notes

Description

Text of press release: "BONNIE CASHIN designs the smartest ensemble ever for the outdoor girl, or the girl who has to walk outdoors to get indoors. The idea for the sweater came from Scandinavia (and where else in the world would you find better ideas about keeping warm). This is a heavy, bulky, hand-knit cardigan that hooks all the way down with leather toggle closings to keep cold air out. Under it goes the slimmest hooded jersey blouse and on the very bottom, skinny, chevron-stitched, supple leather breeches. Entire ensemble in tones of Rice. Sweater in one bulky size. Style #605 about $55. 00 retail. Blouse in 8 to 16 sizes. Style #707 about $35. 00 retail. Pants, 8 to 16 sizes. Style #479 about $70. 00 retail.EDITOR THIS PHOTO IS EXCLUSWE TO YOU IN YOUR CITY."
