There la only more elaboration of detail« which we huve already teen. T ill» w ill come as a welcome sur- prl»e to tho«o of you who want to get along on a lim ited clothe« budg et. Since skirt lengths are about the same u i last year, that means you don’t have to run out and buy all new dresses and coots. Furthermore, those of you who were able to buy only a basic ward robe, can now add some of the trim m ings which give you the well groomed look. You might like to add a new hand bag, new shoe« and perhaps a scattering of pins to your costume. The stiff looking artificia l shoul ders which we sturted seeing some time ago have gradually disap peared, and fortunately, tool They have no place In a fashion world which highlights beauty and feml nlty. In the reully high priced dresses, no shoulder pads are used If you do have them, make certain they are small and cleverly concealed. In other words, use padlng to give a nice round line, but have It done so carefully that no one realizes you're wearing pads. Coats Use Plenty Of M a te ria ls Most of the coats seen currently are long and full, whether they’re of the belted variety or princess style or fitted. If they’re full length, that is, coming to the dress hem line, they're bound to use a lot of material. Because of the lovely rich fab rics used on coats, you’ll be amazed at some of the lovely details in tailoring. These features have often been used in the past, but it takes a good material to show them up to full advantage K m art F a b ric a , E xq u is ite H an d w o rk a re F eatu re d You w ill be Impressed by the sheer beauty of fabrics this sea son like never before.

Really sleek and silky gabardines that cun show tailoring to perfec tion are as handsome as it ’s possi ble to be. Exquisite handwork is featured on much of the clothing. You'll be seeing a lot of it on the new blouses in the form of magnificicntly em broidered collate, cuffs and blouse front. On dresses it shows off best on the new portrait neckline as well as the bodice and sometimes on the cuffs. There is something so rich an utterly feminine about handwork in N ecklin e Interest Shown C u rre n tly Probably the most outstanding feature of the newest clothes is the importance attached to the neck line. Bared necklines, even in the most strictly casual wear, are fea tured. Necklines can take the form of gently rounded curve or they may be deep and plunging such as are featured on m a n y of the new blouses. On others, neckline inter est may be displayed with what is known as the portrait type, which means the neckline Is outlined with highly decorative flounce. On the beach dresses which you'll be buying now or later, you’ re most apt to run into the strapless variety. These dresses, however, often come with a bolero or stole with which you can cover up.
