From sketch: “Surprise- I wear cashmere for summer/ in our cities the air conditioning is so agressive[sic.] I freeze – this is simply my long slip-on elasticized skirt pulled up to there, I throw a cardigan on a big silk shawl & face the evening with creative comfort- I also have stock of skinny cashmere dresses with halter or tank top- they are my best friends on the wing” .Sleeveless summer dress with shoe string belt and a jacket over her shoulder

Handwritten on drawing: Design project – use all the existing Sari patterns in new shapes and sizes ----- a long narrow sash / a skirt length – just long enuf to wrap around and tie / a square of silk for a 3 cornered shawl / also why not do a shorter sari for foreign export --- maybe a 4 yd. length? / B.C.
