Dior's "A" line for evening -- written with a beautiful flourish: a dress of white lace that streams from a slender bodice to a wide sweep of skirt. To cross the "A," a white ribbon Empire belt. To coat it, tiers of white organ die on the bias, with (not shown in this sketch) a carelessly tied brown suède belt. Dior crescent cap, also brown suède.
