Francesca a Bella Ragazza, Beautiful italian Girl Throw Blanket
The rhythmic clatter of sewing machines filled the bustling costume workshop of the Ziegfeld Follies. Among the flurry of dancers and assistants, Francesca, a newcomer with a captivating aura, stood out. An old Italian tailor, his weathered face creased in a warm smile, approached her. "Allora, bella ragazza," he chuckled, his voice thick with a Tuscan accent, "tonight's the big night, eh?" (Translation: "Well, beautiful girl, tonight's the big night, isn't it?") --- Francesca, her heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and nerves, could only manage a shy smile. Her fiery red-blonde hair, styled in a chic wave, framed a face that could launch a thousand ships. Her features were flawless - a perfect oval framed by high cheekbones, a playful button nose, and lips that promised a captivating smile. Her eyes, the color of the Mediterranean under a summer sky, sparkled with intelligence and a hint of mischief. --- He adjusted the straps of her gown, a masterpiece of sheer, shimmering fabric. The dress clung to her curves like a second skin, revealing just enough to set imaginations ablaze. It flowed down her long legs, which were casually crossed at the ankle, the perfect picture of elegance and confidence. Her arms, slender and graceful, rested lightly beneath the gauzy material. --- "You know," the tailor continued, his voice low and conspiratorial, "Florenz Ziegfeld himself has a keen eye for bella ragazze like you. Tonight, own the stage, mia cara. Show them the magic an Italian beauty can bring." (Translation: "My dear") --- Francesca straightened her shoulders, a fire igniting in her eyes. She was a vision of Italian elegance, a living embodiment of the era's spirit - independent, glamorous, and utterly captivating. Tonight, she would prove the old tailor right. Tonight, the Ziegfeld Follies would witness the birth of a new star, a radiant "bella ragazza" ready to take the spotlight. --- Photo taken by Arnold Genthe 1869-1942.

A beautiful small blanket that is perfect for covering your legs while curled up in front of the fire, or for a decorative touch on the sofa. We also think it looks brilliant as a Christmas table centerpiece. We are delighted with it. The colors are absolutely perfect. Vibrant yet traditional. The pattern retains its lovely details despite the texture of the fabric. Very classy product that will not disappoint as a gift.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received the cotton throw blanket. It was made with such high quality. I am just about to order another throw. The colors are so vibrate and the weaving is so neat. Affordable as well. I really love my throw.

A quality printed throw has its advantages. This is a much finer weave throw than its loopier cousins, and though lighter, it is worth the investment for custom room accessorizing. The back is much prettier than the typical brown, and the fringe on the long sides very vivid, the selvage nicely done. Before photographing, I washed the throw in cold water, delicate, with a thicker woven throw the same size. On tumble dry low, this throw was dry in half the time as the other. This is a very practical quality if you use throws for furniture covers or to wrap up in frequently. The sleekness of the fabric makes it a great layer for accenting or protecting without the feeling of sitting on too much stuff. Perfect for napping or when you feel a light chill coming on. The color printing is beautiful and on this fabric, matched the design and color of my Photoshop image. This is an advantage for blending room fabrics and colors. The fringe on the short sides prints the colors from the design image and therefore varies from the side fringe. I streaked a white fractal line through the plaid pattern to give the illusion of weaving. This printed as crisp as an illusory thread, and put some white in the short side fringe, showing another advantage of print vs loomed- for artistic purposes, line lines, detail, and color integrity can be planned and preserved. My loomed throws have color limitations and more of a needlepoint texture. Print throws reproduce an exact image. The throw felt a little stiff straight out of the package, but this went away in the first delicate wash. Of course I searched the wash water for ink or bleeding and there was none.
