Fall Coats Adapt
New Silhouettes
In Latest Styles
Coats, for Fall, are designed to
flatter every figure and every
way of living.
Silhouettes are newly subdued
with extra fashion excitement
centered at the sleeves and neck
lines. And textured fabrics have
been softened and refined to cre
ate a truly lady-like air.
Most newsworthy, perhaps, of
the coats created for the new
season, is the tulip silhouette.
This features fullness, achieved
by pleats or gores, which starts
below the hipline. It is particu
larly effective, when its easy fit
ting lines are topped by a circlet
of fur at the neckline.
The barrel, or convex silhou
ette, is another coat, type fea
tured for Fall wear. Narrow at
the shoulders, this coat gradually
flares out and then tapers to a
close hugging line by the time f
reaches the hemline.
Fltied Styles
Also expected to be among the
top coat favorites for Fall are fit
ted styles that may either take
shape as snug, slim wraps or
effect great femininity with a
nipped-in waist and wide, flaring
skirt.
The wandering waistline so
popular in the Fall '52 fashion
picture is represented in coats in
a variety of flattering ways.
Foremost of these is the Martin
gale belt which, when placed
below the waistline of a coat
back, achieves a middy outlook,
and when placed high above the
waistline of the coat back, takes
its cue from Paris designs.
Shoulders, in many instances,
are wider than those offered in
past years. They may drop into
a full-blown sleeve tapered and
simple at the wrist. Other sleeves
bell out from the elbow. Some
offer a flared cape effect, either
at the wrist or just above. And
others nip in, then flare out with
a brief cuff treatment.
Collars are completely nonex
istent or dramatically large in
size. Typical of the collarless
neckline is the high-buttoned
cardigan effect, 'while popular
for over-size collars are wide.
shoulder-to-shoulder mantle col
lars, which in many instances
provide major style appeal for
the entire coat.
Fall Elegance
Details on the simple, yet ele
gant styles presented for Fall,
add to the femininity of the
coats. Fringes, in self colors, are
used to outline collars, cuffs and
closings.
Fur trims, often removable,
are used generously, sometimes
as huge cuffs which are the out
standing eye-compelling feature
of the coat. Both long and short
hair fur trims may also be seen
as little girl collars, long, slim
shawl collars or short shawl co-
ars and as neckine circlets.
Exciting coat fabrics, predict
ed to be popular for Fall, are
gentled, brushed poodle cloths,
fabrics softened with fur hairs,
color mixture tweeds, alpaca
piles that give fur-like effects,
and cashmeres, camels hair and
precious vicuna.
Coat colors are expected to in
clude the entire family of green,
ranging from bright Kelly
shades to olive shades and deep
bronzines; reds will cover the
shade gamut from red-red to
heady wine tones; browns will
include the palest of beiges to
the rich earthy tones; and black,
used either as an all-over motif,
or in combination with other
colors, as is the case for many
of the new tweeds.

Undercover Story
For New Middy Look
With the middy silhouette so
important in the Fall '52 fash
ion picture, fashion authorities
stress the necessity of corres
ponding figure control.
The high top girdle which Is
built up high in front two to
four inches above the waistline
is the best type of foundation
for the middy line.
Full - length corsets with
strong control over the hips and
sturdy but flexible control over
the waistline are also advised.
Most middy styles require
foundations with rigid paneling
over the hips as this slim hip
line is part of the "middy look."
Fashion experts stress, above
all, the smooth, elongated torso
as the effect most desired with
this Fall's middy fashions.
MORE PONCHOSl
For combination with middy
hipline skirts are cotton poncho
overblouses. Shirred from a
round or slit neckline, elastic
ized waistbands or self - belts
