Waistlines this winter take precedence over hip- lines. The princess silhouette has emerged quite the most popular one, though some empire styles arc excellent for the unusual woman. Skirt fullness is better low than high. Sleeves and neck treat- ments have extreme originality, with a premium upon those that carry a romantic note in their makeup..
