There is not a. bit of embroidery or lace on it; it nearly covers the gown, and it can be worn with any kind of costume provided the colors do not clash. If one cannot get the silk in the colorings one wants it, then it would be advisable to copy this wrap in that hew reversible satin iftilch is exceedingly fashionable and can be got in any combination of colors one desires. < Among the lovely and ornate wraps Which have been brought out for evening wear are those in printed chiffon cloth in the Persian colors.
