13. Embracing the ARM – the DRAMA is all in it! In Marie-Antoinette style with its thousands ways: in shoulders and on sleeves. From extra long and oversized to extreme puffy and ruffles volume-exaggerated. Sub-trend: 1940’s triangle-sharp shoulders.

And – a little girl – as that is what this trend is all about – doesn’t need to cover the face. But really romantic goes ruffles and girlies style, announced in the shows, didn’t work in reality this season.
