Lace, accordion pleats, brocade finishes, and silver sequins — it was all about ultragirlie dress details at Jill Stuart. With only a few silky trousers, pantsuits, and belted trench coats peppered throughout, her undeniably dress-focused approach to Spring 2013 indicated a strong affinity to the feminine silhouette above all else. Cut close to the body, and in a range that ran the gamut from pencil-shaped sheaths to slim-cut blazers, there wasn't a single look that didn't enhance the female form — in a good way, we might add. But, with such an overarching lean toward a ladylike styling sensibility, we found Jill's bolder take on the ankle-wrap ballerina-inspired platforms to be a much-needed accent to the softer shapes on top.
