THE DRESS WITH a little jacket is essential for daytime wear this spring. As done by de-
signer Paul Parnes (left), it's an alliance of wool and print. Short purple wool bolero tops a
pure silk purple-and-white afternoon dress, is lined in the print of the dress. Stitched pleats
of the skirt flare from the hips. From Eisenberg (right) comes a gray pure silk print teamed
with jacket of gray flannel. Square neckline of the dress is edged in flannel and there's a
gray flannel belt Skirt is completely pleated, worn over a taffeta and horsehair petticoat

NEW YORK. (NEA)— The frost-
ing on the print silk dress for this
Spring is a little jacket. And this
little jacket, sometimes bust-length,
may be a Spencer, a bolero or
a capelet.
Spreading from the small top
is a full skirt, pleated, or with
unpressed pleats, or simply with
a soft fullness. The print of these
new dresses is fine and subtle, of-
fering pretty contrast to a mono-
tone jacket. Usually, the print of
the dress makes the jacket lining
and the jacket fabric reappears as
trim on the dress, either in the
belt or neckline
The princess silhouette, impor-
tant in full-length coats for Spring
is essential to dresses, too. Add
to this silhouette two others that
register: the Empire look and the
molded torso.
A fourth strong silhouette is the
