Arlene Richman has been a scarf designer for many years. About four years ago, she decided to create a bathing suit cover-up that really did cover-up. She brought her first poncho to an arts and crafts show, and the first customer was a mother-of-the-bride who bought a poncho to enhance her dress in the wedding procession. From that day on, Arlene expanded her horizons and found the most elegant and fun fabrics that would take the wearer anywhere from formal night on a cruise, to a wedding, to the theatre, and yes, to the beach. Arlene has concentrated on fabrics that will travel great, meaning wrinkle-free and washable. She also has made sure that "one size fits all", truly does. See how many styles you can come up with by turning, draping and tying the poncho numerous ways. You can use Arlene’s suggestions as a starting point and individualize your own look from there.
