LITTLE DRESSES WITH LONG LIVES
Certain dresses have qualities which ensure them long life. They develop into "the little dreas I've had for years"-the one which can be worn from morning to night, which somehow lasts longer than the more expensive, more elaborate ones.
First essential is quality of material. Shoddy fabrics, no mat- ter how pretty they look, are a bad purchase. Their life is short, they nullify good line, style and workmanship.
