"with" or "in" or "both"?
Is it correct to say "the woman WITH the white dress..." when we are trying to describe a person in a crowd or are we only allowed to say "the woman IN the white dress"?

But i cant provide you with the link here. The name of the book is "Among The living" and the examples are :
1.The woman with the white dress and yellow purse led Lucy to a bench across the grassy observation area.
2.the woman in the white dress had been alone walking down the street...
