Sketch of a model in a knit jacket over pants and a criss-crossed top tied at the waist. Text of note: "Simple slip-on easy pants + a brief little criss-cross top of fine all wool jersey in a soft mauvey tone are creature comfort to me -- I like the contrast of a thick texturey mix of a knit over it all in subtle wisteria colors --At bottom: May 30, 1980 for Bernadine Morris NY Times"
