| The Key Piece
Made from vintage silk fabrics, the Kariza Vintage "100 ways to wear" garment is so versatile that it comes with a DVD that demonstrates the many options and techniques for achieving all those looks. Wear it as a dress, a skirt, a halter-top, a wrap — the list goes on. It's available in three lengths, and the fabric choices are vast — $39.95 at California Drawstrings. |
