TRY A DRESS AGAIN


"When was the last time you wore a dress?  Not a long party one, but a real, honest-to-goodness daytime dress?  Chances are it's been awhile.  Too long, we say.  It's time to remember your girl-type shape, to bring back legs, waists and soft, pretty looks.  Nothing does that quite like a dress."



Seventeen - February 1973

PARTING


Seventeen - December 1972



"The party's over; you've said your good-byes.  But the memory of the good time lingers on.  What did you wear?  Something soft and fragile-colored, something you sewed up yourself. "

DRESSING IN PIECES

"...the way everyone want to dress today.  Five pages of basics to collect now - the clothes you wear with the clothes you own...move around...keep for a long, long time...and never put away."


Vogue US - January 1974



"The new way to think about fashion is to think of collecting the best pieces of fashion: the best shirts, skirts, pants.  The best coat to put over everything else.  Even a dress today comes in pieces - a shirt or sweater with a skirt to match....These aren't your old-fashioned separates-y separates - not the little extras you throw into a wardrobe.  These clothes are the main event: basic, practical, modern fashion that never stops working for you - they pay their way."
