Fall Fashion 2009

WHY WE LOVE IT
As romantic as the day dress is simple, these Edwardian flourishes will make you leave your Oxford cloth button-downs sulking in the closet. If you hadn't noticed, it's all about the collar.

HOW TO WEAR IT
Most are in comfortable cotton, so they're not as constricting as they appear. Don't hide their striking details with a jacket or make them compete with a busy bottom. And all that white means the opportunity is ripe for dramatic makeup.
