" When it comes to fancy party dresses, most of us fall into two camps: We either stick to short and sassy numbers or always rely on something easy, long and elegant. (In fact, I have a friend who only wears floor-grazing dresses to weddings, cocktails, and more so she can wear the same pair of tan sandals over and over again and no one will be the wiser!) So which party dress personality will have more options to choose from next season?It&amp;amp;#8217;s a 50-50 split according to the first round of spring runway shows. Yesterday at the Mischen presentation, I saw both cropped cocktail frocks and long gowns, and the same was true at the BCBG, Jenni Kayne, and Rachel Roy shows. So if the hemline theory is true&amp;amp;#8212;that thigh-high cuts indicate a flourishing financial market while longer hemlines forecast the opposite&amp;amp;#8212;from the looks of things so far, hang on tight: We&amp;amp;#8217;re in for a bumpy&amp;amp;#8212;but oh so fashionable&amp;amp;#8212;ride. What&amp;amp;#8217;s your party dress personality? Do you like long dresses or are you always wearing something short and sweet? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
