  • in Junichiro Tanizaki's Naomi, the heroine wraps her husband's cravenette around her waist, but only her belly was successfully covered. Even tho she's been cheating on him, this sight"of her white arms and legs protruding from the red gown, like stems in a pot of boiled cabbage, clawed seductively at his heart." A cravenette, serge treated to be waterproof, would be used to keep off rain.
