THE WELL-MANNERED dress
returns. It is a study in contrasts —
a button-through princess line
dress shows contrasting color in
French cuffs, belt and collar.

| Mannered|!
dresses
revisited

IT IS a season for dresses.

Mannered dresses that are suc-
cinct in their design statement and
defined in their cut, line and form
have again found their way on to
the fashion scene for fall.

Dresses now indicate a sense of
style revisited. After padded
shoulders, cinched waists and
ecrinolines, style is reassessed in
terms of refinement and = even
charm. Conveyed in princess seam-
ing, in shawl collaring and French
cuffs, these fashion features make
a shapelier style without the ag-
gressive instrusion of body con-
sciousness.

Emerging now is a gentler dress
sense that things understated can
signal the most modern of
messages. Those style details that
underscore the season are less
waisting, more bodice detail and
less dress of a purely confident
style.

Small but decisive touches that
serve to elevate a dress from an
easy wearable to a statement of
simplicity and elegance are what
fashion is all about this season.

For fall, many designers have
used pure wool flannel and gabar-
dine to create dresses of grace and
quictude. In a season where the
loudest note may well be the
quietest note, these are dresses
which, princess seamed and
shawl-collared, denote a very real
sense of presence,
