HER FIRST PROM

Mothers seem to want their
daughters to have their IA
vorite dress. Possibly because
it is partly their dream, too.
This year. most young
ladies are choosing floor
length dresses with billowing
skirts and the sophisticated"
strapleSs bodice.
Fumbling feet will never
be noticed beneath the yards
Of tiers, rufiles and lace as
new high heels take their
first spin around the floor.
The formal appearance is
most popular because an IL
lusion of a height and grace
evolves from it.
Hoops seem to be a must.
Blue is the most popular col
or. as usual, with white run
ming a close second. But
there's a vast selection to
choose from.

are also available for less
formal occasions or more
