Quote of the day: “Dream Dress to dance into 1948—Young sorceress of the wand-waist, bouffant skirt school, whirls through the holidays in the luminous splendor of rayon taffeta, roman-striped from deep purple to pale gold. And for a fillip of jeune fille elegance, mantilla with a pleated edge, in plain contrasting color!”
