Dept. of New Tricks (Flannel Division).

"Plaid flannel." The words bring to mind mooseheads, canoes, well-lubricated card games.

This unexpected item draws strength from that preconception, then turns the tables on the whole plaid-flannel business.

It's clearly very feminine; the lace peeking out at the hem leaves no doubt. It's clearly more appropriate for eating cassoulet and seeing a Gurney play than roughing it in the North Woods.

Although I wouldn't be surprised to see your poker skills improve. Lacy Flannel Skirt (No. 2458).

Soft brushed cotton, ankle-length, constructed in pattern-matched panels for better drape and movement. Satin lining. Two inches of lace below hem. Ah, the great indoors.

Color: Navy Plaid, Black lining and lace.

Sizes: 2 through 18. Imported.
