In some cases prices are even slightly less. ' The costume stands out as tile No. 1 favorite for fall. This mav be a full-length coat and a match ing or coordinated dress, a dress- and-jacket combination or an en semble consisting, of short toppes, matching skirt and blouse. Costumes are highlights of practically every collection, shown in handsome woolens of ten combined with satin. New looking and highly wearable is the straight, full-length ooat with matching skirt and coordinated blouse, being shown in all iab rics, from casual tweed to sleek broadcloth. Dior, who usually saves his fireworks for his Pans opening, has done an American collection that continues his "A-line" of spring, but calls it "Alpha" in stead. This is the narrow-shouldered, low-belted or jacketed out fit with skirt flaring toward the hemline, either pleated or with bell-shaped fullness. Suit jackets can be any length for fall. Adele Simpson shows five different suit silhouettes: The "little overcoat" suit, with three-quarter length boxy jacket and matching skirt or dress; the tunic suit; the 26-inch fitted jacket; the 26-inch loose jacket which hugs the hips, and the costume with brief curving bolero over a matching dress. While the slim silhouette domi nates the daytime picture, there are notable exceptions, such as Dior's, "alpha line and Claire McCardell's full-skirted casual dresses. For after-5 wear, many full- skirted styles are shown, but there are more long evening dresses than formerly, these about evenly divided between slim satin sheaths and the pic ture" type of elaborate, bail gowns with full skirts and even, in some instances, trains. The tawny tones of blonde satin appear again and again in cocktail and dinner fashions, and the same fabric often accents wool daytime outfits. Many slim, dark, wool dresses achieve a sort of schoolgirl look by the addition of white satin collars and bow tics a style that will appeal to the tailored career girl type. Skirt lensths are slightly short er, if anything but only slight ly. And the threat ot a iiai- chestcd feminine citizenry seems to be past Busts are not accented as much as formerly, but in practically all collections even Dior's the bust definitely is there, slightly raised and rounded, but present and accounted for.
