It is one of those dresses that are literally sartorial life-savers. Having once seen it, one wonders how one has ever got along without something of the sort.

She did not show it with nor regular collection, but some of her friends saw her wear it and persuaded her to make it for them, too, so it will probably finish its career in the public eye.

The materials for the canned soups are selected and cleaned with as much caress we would use for our table. Many of the vegetables are grown and cultivated by the csnners themselves.
