Stripes of a hero.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I WENT WITH SOME FRIENDS TO CORNWALL TO PENZANCE, THE LAND OF THE PIRATE. THE CORNISH HAVE A LOVELY KNOWN ITEM CALLED THE CORNISH SMOCK THAT CAN RANGE FROM A FADED DELICATE PINK TO A BRIGHT YELLOW. SOME COME WITH COLLARS AND ARE SOFT, SOME ARE HARD AND UNIQUE FOR A HARD WARING LADY. CAN BE WORN OVER SHORTS, PANTS OR SKIRT OR AS A DRESS.

JAMAICAN STYLES, CORNISH SMOCK, £14.99.
