French term or phrase: a croisé une marinière C’est une petite robe noire qui a croisé une marinière, alors elle est toute en rayures, mais pas n’importe lesquelles. Elle alterne le voile, la maille et le lurex, cela lui donne un petit air de fête plutôt chic. C’est bien connu, on est toujours très élégant dans la marine.	pooja_chic KudoZ activity Questions: 918 (5 open) (2 without valid answers) (240 closed without grading) Answers: 990
