So the fashion of the season appears to be ponchos ! I’m unsure why though ?
I think an enterprising manufacturer has turned a surplus of tablecloths into ponchos by punching holes in the middle. Either that, or somewhere there is a sweatshop full of old grannies doing crochet.
This became clear to me as I watched a girl trying to put something in the luggage rack on the train – her poncho/tablecloth was too tight and she couldn’t lift her arms above her head.
How can a poncho be too tight? It’s a square of fabric witha hole in the middle!
I didn’t understand it either – perhaps it was too heavy
?
Perhaps it was actually a straitjacket?
Ah – I think you may be right.
