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."
