Romany Fashions....they
are a unique concept to
fashion, original and offer
value for the dollar.

A ‘couple .of charming
talented ladies, Rose Marie
“and Viki Block’ of West
Vancouver for months now
have been busy creating and
designing original clothes for.

. all ages at a price we all can
o— -afford. —

Romany, ' a British word for
gipsy, represents more of an .
elegant ethnic - look .. for
daytime casual to evening
wear! The > Blocks | have
travelled to Morocco,

Madeira, Portugal and Spain .

to gather interesting designs
“and ideas for the ‘beautiful _
collection. .

They have just returned
_ from *Mexico where they ©
purchased genuine tortoise’
shells, hats:and accessories —
to. ‘compliment their clothes.::
When I saw the line I. was.:.
amazed atthe. _ glamorous
satins, and the colours of the
range are unbelievable.

There is not one item I did
‘not like. ‘‘Romany’”’ offers an.
original design, all garments
dre hand made, the work-
manship is superb, and the.
size range caters to all sizes.
not to. mention the designing
is‘as such so that all ladies
; can be accommodated. : For ,

the lady who takes, for

instance, a size 10 blouse and.

14 skirt, this is the answer
because one can purchase
different sizes.

The look is mainly soft
flowing feminine satins and
if there is something special
someone wants made up
especially for them, it will be«
done.
