NEW YORK—With her Spring 2013 collection, Jill Stuart stuck with what she does best—feminine, lady-like frocks that do everything to enhance the female form.

The color palette resonated with monochromatic looks of nudes, champagnes, blushes, and of course, black.

She briefly departed from those colors with a sea-foam Grecian goddess creation and a silver sequined evening gown.

The collection was black tie and evening ready, featuring dresses of appliqued lace, layered sheers, and silk jacquard.

A daytime item that made my favorites list included a knee-length trench coat, that if cropped to hip length would look like a safari jacket. It is a brilliant mix of the timeless trench coat with a lovely twist.
