Dramatic or pretty, bare or covered-up, after-dark fashions for fall give women a chance to put their best looks forward. New trends and new versions of holdover themes are being previewed in New York on July 8, 1964, where more than 200 fashion writers are seeing fall fashions in the New York Couture Group’s semi-annual Press Week showings. Among the ideas which pop up insistently are the one-shoulder dress, the deep plunge or wide bare décolletage, pants for at-home wear or, in some collections, to going out, and everywhere, the discotheque dress, usually black but sometimes bright. A huge black satin bow accents the one-shoulder theme in a black wool evening dress by Donald Brooks in his fall collection for Townley.
