Frances Eby Jakoubek notes New York spring collections emphasize simple sophisticated lines with rear view features. Sleeves necklines and peplums give balance, while wrap skirts create fullness. The piece also lists community events from Red Cross fundraisers to PTA meetings across several towns.
The article highlights wrap around silhouettes with figured waists and draped backs, shirred panels, and decorative buttons. It notes military inspired crepe with pearl trimming, large bows, and sashes in taffeta and faille, plus scalloped hems and saw tooth details shaping the spring wardrobe.
Bright spring sports dresses and gay afternoon and cocktail attire appear with a slim new silhouette. The styles differ from last year's and offer variety that can refresh wardrobes and lift morale for the coming season.
