Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or dress:

“The formal Washington dinner party has all the spontaneity of a Japanese imperial funeral.”

“I feel no more like a man now than I did in long skirts, unless it be that enjoying more freedom and cutting off the fetters is to be like a man. I suppose in that respect we are more mannish, for we know that in dress, as in all things else, we have been and are slaves, while man in dress and all things else is free.”
