Fancy-Back
Sports Coats
Due to Return
Men's wear authorities predict
that the fancy-back sport coat
will be revived. The present
trend to narrow, sleek trousers
focuses attention on the coat, and
they believe more style interest
Is needed in the coat back. Some
designers favor expansion pleats
back of the shoulders with full
er "skirts" and a center vent
opening to the waist. J
.New Foundation Garments Favor Eased
Waist and Flat Hip for That 'Gentle Look'
The alliance of foundation gar
ments with ready-to-wear has
never been so apparent as in the
lines for spring. s
There are brassieres and gir
dles to shape the "gentle look"
with its high, round bust, eased
waist and flat hip. There are
pther foundations to pull in the
waist, giving, the bosom accent
nd letting th'e hips curve. The
foundation now conforms precise
ly to the preferred silhouette.
Since necklines are wide and
shallow, rather than deep this
season, many brassieres have off-the-shoulder
or wide-set straps.
Brassieres with straps often have
wiring under the cups or crossed
bands to raise and round the
bosom.
The strapless bra, too, is im
portant Some styles offer cups
pre-shaped by foam rubber lining
or non-woven interfacing for firm
uplift.
The strapless vogue extends in
to garments with longer control

Vibrant Colors
Textured beads of glass and
tile are spring headliners, re
ports the Jewelry Industry Coun
cil. Necklaces feature large blue
beads robin's egg size
speckled with white. Others use
tiny purple and pink glass beads,
flecked with silver or gold.
Beads are puckered, popcorn
like, hollow, lacy or cylindrical.
They are mock seetf pearls, very
delicate, and pale glazed beads,
irregularly sized. Naturally, with
so much bead news, there is a
new necklace design for spring:
the 30-inch "lei" or opera length
necklace may be worn as a single
strand or looped double as a
choker.
The "lei" is" usually thicker
than a beaded strand and is
fashioned with clusters of beads
or tiny flowers. Most are match
ed with earrings and bracelets.
Wide, flexible beaded cuff
bracelets and slender drop or
mobile cluster earrings promise
to be spring favorites.
line and the corselet, which ex
tends to the thighs. Both types
feature rounded cups, some lifting
the bust up to two inches with
wiring or princesses-styling.
Even though the waist is eased
in new fashions, it must still be
defined. The bra-lette, the corse
let and the high-top girdle achieve
proper waist control. The one
piece foundation, allowing no
break in the figure, emphasizes
the long-torso look of the sheath
or the overblouse.
New girdles straighten the hip
line with all-elastic construction
or by calculated combinations of
elastic and sheer rigid fabrics.

Changes Cited
In Styling of
Spring Suits
Longer jackets' and practically
weightless fabrics bring fashion
focus to the suit world this season
Big changes in shape and material
plus important small changes in
detail eive serine's suit storv a
long-needed revision.
Jacket news . is probably most
significant, since this is the main
attraftinn ft tKk ciiit cilhmipttp
The 25-inch length is wearable and
with gentle shaping acknowledges,
without emphasizing, the female
fieure " Jacket usuallv buttons all
the way down and sometimes takes
a belt. The long torso look is gen
erally established.
Pleated Skirts Back '-
Skirts share the spotlight, with
pleated varieties slim and easy
going. Smin2 suits show skirts that
are all-around knife pleated, inter
estingly box pleated, cluster-pleated
or panel pleated. Inverted pleats
aid the slim jook and many sneatn
skirts break into pleats just, above
the knee.
There is no shortage of straight
skirts, however; they contribute
to the long, lean look and are most
rffective in crisD. tissue-light wool
ens. Some are trumpeted above the
knee for a high fashion effect;
others are gracefully pleated clos
to the hem for walking ease. Gored
skirts offer easy slenderness and
are seen in casual or spectator
suit styles. ,
Further changes that typify the
spring suit include the narrow
sleeve, now set in high under the
arms and often tapered to the
wrist Sport suits often feature a
shirtwaist sleeve, slightly balloon
ed and French cuffed. Smart cuff
links sometimes become part of the
package and ere usually the only
ornament on the suit.
Buttons have exchanged their
former glitter for a new crafted
look. Leather, wood and self-or
contrast-fabric, buttons show up
on all categories of spring suits.
Jewel trims have largely given
way to such subtle detailing as
braid, selt-scrolling, over-collars
and cut-out designs.
Pretty Changes Shown
Collars and necklines show pretty
spring changes, too. In the tailored
suit,, long narrow re vers plus low
placed pockets add to the lean
silhouette. In the sports suit, de
signers haveused the turn-down
collar, the loose tab collar and the
cardigan neckline in casual varia
tions. Many designers have made
novel collar treatments their sign
ature for the season: one uses a
pedal effect, another a "clergy"
collar. Generally, open necklines
and flat, generous collars are
shown some with pretty touches
of lace, linen or organdy.
It's definitely a tweed spring
for suits light, breezy, beauti
ful tweeds are often wool-silk or
wool-linen blends. But there is am
ple choice of others.
Waistline girdles are more pre
valent, to be worn with short or
long line brassiere, depending on
the need for diaphragm control.
Firm control is achieved with
light-weight fabrics, new methods
of banding and seam construction.
Girdles are losing their bulky
look.
This season's foundations ap
pear in such dainty fabrics as
marquisette, power net and em
broidered - cotton. Embossment
and embroidery in a second eolor
adds prettiness. White is the fav
ored color, but there are many
girdles, brassieres and corselets
in black and some in soft pastels.
