I wanted a feminine, delicate-looking (yet sturdy) parasol to wear with Regency period costume. This fit the bill perfectly, and also looks smashing with modern-day clothes. And, of course, it keeps my fair skin cool and shaded from the summer sun.
I have consistently chosen this robe, especially in this color, as a gift to daughter, sister and friends. The color is so saturated and rich, looks stunning on. Comfortable fabric that feels luxurious.
