Marc Jacobs, always the rule breaker-and inevitable rule maker - made his Marc by Marc line almost all about dresses -but a rather newish, or at least, oldish but revived look: short, tight in the bodice, belted and waisted, and then poufy and a-line but still quite short. It's sort of a bubble dress -but the hem doesn't curve in as much. It's a sweet look worn over black tights and boots - and he did them in pink and black and orange and black giant houndstooth. But if you're over 30, you might want to think twice.

Doo Ri, a rising star in the N.Y. firmament, showed sheaths in black or white in all manner of lengths - but the one that looked best was the slightly over the knee look - even when it had batwing eighties kimono sleeves. The short short dresses, particularly when they're tight -look a little yesterday. Some people in NY this week have been talking about a comeback of "the Robert Palmer video girls": tough overly made up girls with ballerina buns in skin tight short dresses. Doo Ri nearly got there - but it looks a little camp for the normal working woman.
