The name Delilah conjures up feelings of allure and treachery, of deceit and beauty - an interesting connection of emotions; two looks, one garment.

Delilah - worn two ways; as a coat (one size fits all - size 12-20)* flowing softly over your shoulders and down your back. Fasten with a shawl-pin of your choice, or as a floating waterfall cardigan wrap. Pull-up over your head for cold breezy walks, or wear loose with a very special ‘black frock’.
