Early 1850 bodices had a Basque opening over a che- misette, the bodice continued to be very close fitting, the waist sharp and the shoulder less slanted, during the 1850s to 1866. During the 1850s the dresses were cut without a waist seam and during the 1860s the round waist was raised to some extent. The decade of the 1870s is one of the most intricate era of women’s fashion. The style of the early 1870s relied on the renewal of the polonaise, strained on the back, gath- ered and puffed up into an detailed arrangement at the rear, above a sustaining bustle, to somewhat broaden at the wrist.

Young NEW YORK — A strong holiday season would only add to expectations of a stronger economy in 2004, but economists and analysts worry that any rebound will be short-lived without a better job outlook. Despite Saturday’s snowstorm — which ultimately should not have a major impact on sales — economists expect a solid holiday. That, coupled with election-year politics, is likely to give the economy a strong start in 2004, but consumers won’t allow it to carry into 2005, experts say, unless there’s real See Long, Page13 PHOTO BY JOHN AQUINO; MODEL: MARIYA SHVETSOVA/SUPREME; HAIR AND MAKEUP BY MATEO FOR WARREN TRICOMI; STYLED BY KIM FRIDAY TRICOMI; STYLED BY FOR WARREN MATEO HAIR AND MAKEUP BY SHVETSOVA/SUPREME; JOHN AQUINO; MODEL: MARIYA PHOTO BY 2 WWD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2003 WWDMONDAY Tourists Help Salvage Snowy Sales Accessories/Innerwear/Legwear Saturday and we’re extremely FASHION By Ross Tucker A look at what’s going on in the world of young talent, through the eyes of and Katherine Bowers busy now,” said the store manag- er, who identified herself as 6 Charlotte Martin, Zac Posen and Paul Berman of 30 Vandam.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard It Was Fascination If one happened to miss the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, he or she can still view the third and final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, on June 11, 2011. For the Anglophile, however, there’s always the Ascot Racecourse (located in the small town of Ascot, Berkshire). This course is approximately six miles from Windsor Castle, and owned by the Crown Estate. Royal Ascot, one of Europe's most famous race meetings (founded by Queen Anne in 1711), will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2011, to Saturday, June 18, the highlight being the Ascot Gold Cup. Every year Royal Ascot is attended by Her Majesty, Elizabeth II, and various members of the British Royal Family, arriving at the start of each race day in a horse-drawn carriage with a Royal procession. It is a major event in the British social calendar, and press coverage of what the attendees are wearing often eclipses coverage of the actual horse racing. If one is special, he or she may be invited to the Royal Enclosure. But there are rules that must be obeyed. The official “Royal Ascot” website spells out the dress code: “Off the shoulder, halter neck, spaghetti straps and dresses with a strap of less than one inch and miniskirts are considered unsuitable. Midriffs must be covered and trouser suits must be full length and of matching material and colour.” “Gentlemen are required to wear either black or grey morning dress, including a waistcoat, with a top hat.
