in Orchard Mall, Julie Feldman
points to deep-slit knee-length skirts
as the number one trend for spring -
perfect for a graduation party, but
probably a little too sophisticated for
the young teenager. Sheer fabrics and
lace are hot for bat mitzvah parties,
and long is definitely "in," says Julie.
She suggests a long, sheer skirt and
see-through top with a "second skin"
worn under-
neath — the rage
from designer
Betsey Johnson.
Or black lace
over a pastel lin-
ing.
"Look for a
lingerie influ-
ence, pastels and
beading."
For services.
Julie recom-
mends a skirt
paired with a
twin set (a
sleeveless sweater
topped by a
matching cardi-
gan).

Party panache:
Michelle Binno
wears Garfield &-
Marks separates
and Danielle Gill
models a tiered
skirt and softly
draping blouse.

Fit For A Brit

-

74

Though you may not feel so glamorous
on the day of your baby's
brit, you can look smashing (just ignore
the dark circles from lack of sleep).
Nancy Karbal of Hannah Rose
suggests any of the pieces from the
Garfield and Marks suiting collec-
tion. The jackets are smartly tailored
and roomy, skirts are not micro-
minis and the fabrics are soft and
lightweight. Choose classic black or
navy, or a vibrant periwinkle blue.
Another practical, yet stylish
option for the brit is a long, tiered
elastic-waist skirt in a pretty floral
print and a button-front tunic top
that drapes, rather than hangs, but
camouflages the barely-a-week-after-
birth tummy.
