Stole (shawl) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (110 words)
A stole is a lady's shawl, especially a formal shawl of expensive fabric used over a party dress or ballgown.
A stole is typically narrower than a shawl, and of simpler construction than a cape; being a length of a quality material, wrapped and carried about the shoulders or arms.
Lighter materials such as silk and chiffon are simply finished, that is, cut, hemmed and bound; heavier materials such as fur and brocade are often lined as well.
