Burnett 111 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel To know how to dress well this sea son, you will want to see a lot of old movies say those from the 19205, '3os and 'sos. Then imagine all this V-neck dresses, cropped pants and soft femi nine fabrics in Technicolor with vi brant hues of pink, blue, coral and yellow. "It's sort of vintage-inspired propor tions," said Stephanie Sherman, co owner along with Carrie Arrouet of Lela, in Milwaukee. " Three-quarter length sleeves. Cropped pants. Anything that looks like a Coco Chanel jacket but in sher bet colors," Sherman said. In New York, designers sent mod els strutting down the runway more girlish than model churlish. The dress is back in a big way. So is color. And flowers. And ruffles. And ribbons. And gauzy, soft, flowing fabric. Yes, you might want to buy a slip. In fact, Sherman highly recommends it because dresses hang so much bet ter with a slip underneath. They've updated the classic look with a short cropped jacket or a shrunken cardigan. If you're going to wear a blazer, skip the belt and tie a vintage scarf or one of the very hot satin cummerbunds around the middle instead.

The pharmacist refused, saying he would serve him only if it was an emergency. So the man pulled a gun and demanded the condoms. DOES THIS MEANS 'DESSERT' IS OFF? A chef who has a TV cooking show in England playfully prepared a roast at his home for his wife while in the nude. Unfortunately, he got too close to the oven and burned his privates. IT'S OK, WE LIKE THIS MUCH BETTER A Pennsylvania woman was jailed for putting on a strip show at her teenage son's birthday party after becoming intoxicated on pills and alcohol. The striptease was a last-minute thing, which came to pass when plans for a go-cart ride fell through.

Overall, there may be a classic feel to spring fashion, but it's up to the wearer to add a bit of edge. Sherman suggests pairing a flowy lightweight tunic over jeans and adding vintage jewelry such as rhinestones or pearls. Attach a brooch or ribbon to your purse or T-shirt to update last year's wardrobe. Oh, and about jeans. They may be the one fashion item that doesn't re flect old movies, according to Faye Wetzel, whose shops include Faye's 1, Faye's 2 Petites and Faye's @ Play in Mequon, Wis., and Faye's 1 and Faye's 2 in Brookfield, Wis. "It seems to be that it's getting safe to pull up your underwear once again because the rises are getting higher," Wetzel said. In addition to playing with waist, wash and color of jeans, designers are helping us look better by positioning pockets so that butts look slimmer and higher. The washes on the fabric are situated to make legs and thighs look slimmer as well.

Expect the popularity of the stretch jean to continue and look for the "career jean." Wetzel suggests that shopping for the right jean and jean fit can be "as frustrating and intense as buying a bra." She suggests asking for assis tance. Now, step away from the twin sets, Sherman warns, they're not in the five staples she sees for spring. At the top of the list is the Coco Chanel-inspired jacket. Then there's the full skirt an A-line or a circle skirt that's full and in a floral or vintage inspired fabric. Under that accessorize with nude fishnets or, if you dare, sheer floral hose.
