are tricks to choosing just the
right kind.
For exar1ple-why choose as
a bridge dress one whose inter
est is centered in the skirt
when the skirt is hidden under
the table most of the time?
Interesting Sleeves and Bodice
No-the ideal bridge dress is
one that has an interesting
looking bodice and interesting
looking sleeves. Because those
are the parts of the dress that
are seen, aren't they?
And of course both those
ideas are two of fashions ideas
this spring. Good-looking sleeves.
Good-looking bodiceS. Even if
a dress isn't a bridge dress it's
apt to have both those things.
Cowl necklines, contrasting
color yokes. soft lingerie collars,
vestees, surplice closing lines,
scarfs-they're all fashionable
details that make the top of a
dress interesting.
When you come to sleeves
you find wide gauntlet cuffs,
puffS; wide bell-Shaped, lingerie
cuffs; deep straight cuffs and
puffs above; elbow sleeves
with a decorative edge or cuff.
