The New Coronation Robe Coronation Fashions The new Coronation Robe trimmed with Nylon Furleen. This is the first Coronation Robe to be trimmed with Nylon Furleen, fabulous British man-made simulation of Royal crime. The robe, with Kirtle, designed for a Countess has been made in chiffon velvet by the Court robe makers, Messrs Edo and Ravenscroft in association with ***** limited, concessionaire for Nylon furleen. The advantages of nylon simulation fur for robes such as this lie not only in the superb luxury of its appearance and texture, obtained at very much less cost than would be possible with natural pelts, but also in the weather, wear and mothproof qualities of this most famous of all simulations.
