Particularly notable will be the emphasis on the graceful Directoire waistline. This is achieved through a higher placement of buttons with gores and pleats emanating from above the normal waist.
The trend to the past will bring with it, fine detail and subtle trim in the form of faille collars, cuffs, lace-edged collars, hints of velvet gleaming buttons dyed to match, and passementerie fashioned into buttons and frogs. Typical of this trend is a Navy coat by Bambury, snugly-fitted with a choir boy capelet of white pique under its self-collar of Navy.
Jon McCauley had young tastes in mind when he designed this classically lined print dress with a butcher linen jacket. The jacket adds a costume look to this spectator sports outfit.
