peer agreement (net): +1gypsy neckline Explanation: I could not find 'singoallaringning' in any dictionary. On the other hand, Signoalla was a gypsy in a 1949 film of the same title. So, my guess is that 'Singoallaringning' means gypsy neckline. see, for instance, http://www.shopwiki.com/gypsy-blouse |
