ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This  Amendment  No.1 to Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock,  par
value  $.01 per share  (the  "Common  Stock") of Jenna  Lane,  Inc.,  a Delaware
corporation  (the "Issuer"),  whose principal  executive  offices are located at
1407 Broadway, Suite 2004, New York, New York 10018.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         (a)  Name:  Mitchell Dobies

         (b)  Residence or business address: 1407 Broadway, Suite 2004, New 
York, New York 10018.

         (c) Present principal  occupation or employment and the name, principal
business  and address or any  corporation  or other  organization  in which such
employment is  conducted:  Mr. Dobies is President and a director of the Issuer,
whose address is set forth in Item 2(b) above.

         (d) Involvement in Certain Legal  Proceedings.  In 1991, Mr. Dobies was
convicted by a state court in Essex  County,  New Jersey,  of theft in the third
degree of certain  materials from a contractor of CR & ME, Ltd. ("CR & ME"), his
former  employer.  Mr. Dobies agreed to a plea bargain,  after which he received
probation and community  service.  Mr. Dobies  maintains  that the only items he
removed from the  supplier's  location  were those owned by CR & ME, but did not
believe  it was in his or CR & ME's  best  interest  to  pursue  a trial  in the
matter.

         (e) Party to a Civil Proceeding.    Not applicable.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.  NOT APPLICABLE.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The purpose of the transaction was to comply with and satisfy the terms
of the  Employment  Agreement (as defined in Item 5 herein)  entered into by the
reporting person and the Issuer.  The reporting person is not interested in, and
has no plans  or  proposals  which  relate  to or would  result  in,  the  items
described in Item 4(a)-(j).

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         (a)  Reporting  person owns an  aggregate  of 741,715  shares of Common
Stock,  representing  16.66% of the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock.  These
share numbers reflect a 10% stock dividend paid in March 1998.

         (b) As to all shares indicated  above,  reporting person has sole power
to vote and to  dispose  or  direct  the  disposition  thereof,  except  for the
Issuer's repurchase obligations with

                                        3

respect to the remaining Performance Shares.

         (c) The Issuer on June 5, 1998  repurchased  from the reporting  person
122,571  Performance  Shares (as defined in the Employment  Agreement) of Common
Stock,  subject to the terms of the Amended and  Restated  Employment  Agreement
dated as of January 30, 1997 (the  "Employment  Agreement"),  by and between the
Issuer and the reporting person.  The Employment  Agreement provides that of the
Performance  Shares  issued  to  the  reporting  person  as of the  date  of the
Employment  Agreement,  one-half should be repurchased by the Issuer for the par
value  thereof in the event that the Issuer does not  achieve net income  before
taxes ("Net Income") of at least $2.0 million during the period of April 1, 1997
through March 31, 1998 ("1998  Fiscal  Year"),  subject to specific  limitations
described  therein.  As of the end of the Issuer's 1998 Fiscal Year,  the Issuer
did not achieve a Net Income of at least $2.0  million  and in addition  did not
achieve an amount over $1.5 million but under $2.0 million,  which would trigger
the specific limitations described within the Employment Agreement,  potentially
reducing the amount of shares to be repurchased.  Therefore,  the Issuer, having
achieved  under $1.5  million in Net Income,  repurchased  the shares  specified
above from the  reporting  person for an aggregate  of $1,225.71  subject to the
terms,  conditions and limitations provided in the Employment Agreement, in full
compliance and  satisfaction of the terms thereof in connection with the matters
contemplated  hereby.  Share  amounts include shares underlying 36,667 currently
exercisable stock options of the Issuer.

         (d) No other  person is known to have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends  from,  or the proceeds from the sale of, the
shares of Common Stock disclosed herein.

         (e) Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT 
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Reporting  person has agreed  not to sell or  otherwise  dispose of any
securities of the beneficially owned by him for a period of two years from March
20, 1997. This limitation did not apply to the repurchase of Performance  Shares
described herein.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.   NOT APPLICABLE.

Signature.

         After reasonable  inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information  set forth in this statement is true,  complete and
correct.

                                       Date:                 6/5/98
