Patra dark pink vest, Post 433

Angela Lansbury wearing a dark pink Patra vest.  Photo taken and edited by Angela Lansbury. I bought the vest with lade neck and cuffs from ebay. It is bamboo and cotton. In the early days of the company I bought silk items in this style. I like long sleeves, or at least three quarter length, below the elbow. Now the vests are made of bamboo which is surprisngly soft. And environmentally friendly. Bamboo grows very fast. I have the orange rose from a front garden in London in December as a contrast to the pink. The picture is edited with the lassoo function on a Samsung mobile phone. I eliminated sitracting background, more focus on the foreground flower and vest.
