The evening news

Local career women don New Year’s Eve apparel

Dust off your diamonds,
slither into your sexiest gown
— ‘tis the season to be jolie.

That final evening of the year is
approaching when you get the urge
to metamorphose froin cocooning
career woman to social butterfly.

To take you inta 1904 in style,
we suggest no-froth, no-frills
evening wear in rich p.m. fabrics
that focus on your shape and your
features, This clothing is without
big skirts and puffy sleeves, without
bows, rosettes, ruffles and shirring.
In short, dressing up is pared down.

The best entrances are made by
outfits that let you be the star, not
by those numbers that steal the
spotlight away from you.

Proving our point. we asked
three fashionable career women liv-
ing on the North Shore to reveal
what they will don this New Year's
Eve and why.

Rena McCready, marketing
director, Park Royal shopping
centre:

“For the first time, this year we
have decided to get all dressed up
and not go anywhere,” says Rena
McCready.
