Easter Parade

Back in the days of my youth, Easter Sunday meant a new dress with lace and frills and tiers and getting my hair done the night before. White patent leather shoes with buckles and ankle socks and perhaps even a tiny matching pocketbook to fit your Bonne Belle. Today's Easter seem a bit more casual, what happened to the hats and gloves? This year I propose stepping it up a notch, why not dress for dinner? Smocked and pleated in cotton voile, this scoopneck Nina Ricci tank dress has a delicate ribbon tie at the back, just like the one I had when I was a girl. ($1,790)
