White was, is and will always be for the woman who gives off the impression of treating expensive clothes as disposable. When a white coat gets a little smudge on it - as they all do - you don't even notice because you're going to send it to the cleaners and toss it in the back of the closet anyway. If the smudge doesn't come out at the cleaners? Give it to the maid. Throw it out. If there were a woman like Babe Paley giving out Norell dresses and Bill Blass coats to their maids with minor imperfections, you can bet we'd be waiting at the front door with a toilet brush. Naturally, we're all sort of intimidated by the impracticality of pale colors which is why they remain so special when you wear them. Over a pale blue Courreges dress that hits right at the ankle, we love a pale pale French vanilla coat by Bill Blass for Bond Street. Embossed to look like reptile skin in a light, crisp cotton sateen, ths sleeves are tricked out with inverted pleats. Matching sash belt and wide collar, it is lined in white crepe. Bust measures 36", shoulder to shoulder 16", outer sleeve 23" and length 56". Excellent condition. $305.00 |
