I got a bone to pick

I've got two concerns for the Rawlings-Edwards wedding (p. A 257).
1. The text says the bridesmaids' dresses has "cashmere-colored bodices." What color, exactly is cashmere?
2. The wedding took place on January 17, 2009 in Oxford. The bride planned ahead and wore a fur coat, as seen in both pictures. But apparently, she hates her bridesmaids, because she only let them wear strapless dresses (with cashmere-colored bodices). I just looked it up, and that day, the high was 44 degrees, low was 23. Mean, mean bride.
