Comma and conjunction OK in premodifying adjectives?
Hi. Please help. Do you think we can set off the part in a pre-noun position connected with the conjunction "yet" is correct?
to the attractive, yet very dignified, young man
Could this be correct? Just removed the adjective "young."
to the attractive, yet very dignified, man
Could we punctuate like this (with just one comma)?
to the attractive, yet very dignified young man
Or,
to the attractive, yet very dignified man
to the attractive, yet very dignified, young man
Could this be correct? Just removed the adjective "young."
to the attractive, yet very dignified, man
Could we punctuate like this (with just one comma)?
to the attractive, yet very dignified young man
Or,
to the attractive, yet very dignified man

The first 2 seem OK as they stand; the 2nd 2 do not. However, you have not given us even complete sentences.
