One after another, dresses kept coming down the runway. With soft ruffles at the neck or hem, lace trims, lacing up the back, pin-tucking and even bows, nothing was left unadorned. There was plenty of color - candy pink, green and purple - as well as small prints, gingham, polka dots and other dotty designs, and even a black and white dice print.

Not a designer that Girlawhirl would think of first for a little black dress, there were, in fact several black dresses that were just fantastic. One in particular was body conscious with a pretty open neck and flounce at the hem, and adorned with a single cream bow at the neck. It seemed to be a perfect mix of the demure and the dramatic. Another that followed, had, again, an open neckline but with a cream placket and black lace at the neck, and equally spectacular was one with a lace trimmed v-neck.

It all ended with balloons, a little bit of a dance with Patricia Field as Johnson's partner, and of course, the cartwheel that Betsey Johnson ends all of her shows with.
