of the shawls have fringe.
Other scarfs may be worn at
the throat, over the shoulder
or attached to the belt.
Combination of stripes
may be uaed on some dresses
with the stripes running a
round the skirt and bodice
while the midriff has them
running up snd down.
A riot of Color and fabrics

mer in flsherwives skirts.
Most of them ate voluminous
garments, long and bouffant
