With winter drawing to its inevitable close, we prepare to say goodbye to snow shovels and heavy jackets and hello to breezy dresses, sexy shorts and stylish sandals. The seasons are once again in flux, meaning it’s the perfect time to amend your wardrobe for warmer weather. On this page and the ones that follow, we unveil women’s spring fashions from some of the Philadelphia area’s top boutiques and fashion hot spots. Three members of the Sixers Dream Team modeled the fashions on a grand stage: the historic Franklin Residences on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia.
