By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPll-One trend- setting dress manufacturer says that "the long dinner dress will be worn this fall where a wo man would have worin a s h o r I one last fall." One trade SMI n II hi Inulinn predicted the fnll flnrl wln- would be "the biggest long dress season since World War II." The manufacturer, Larry Alclrich, president of the New York Couture Group of fash ion firms, and the publication, Women's Wear Daily, sum med up the major trend In evening fashions - the one to ward the slim dress falling floor length. The Couture Group spon sors showings of the winter collections each season at "National Press Week" for visiting reporters. The show ings censed last week end and this week another series shown hy the American De signers Group is being held. In evening clothes, (here were a few dresses shaped closely to the figure wilh the empire or raised waislline. But most depended on fab ric draping, bias cut and seaming to aniline the figure skimming lightly over the body, never pasted against it. Wool proved a favorite I fabric for evening - designers used it In sheer weights, in both black, while and pastel variations. The firm of Sam uel Wlnslon boasted of wool so light that a complete en semble of long dress and coal weighed less than five pounds. By contrast, almost every collection produced a group ot formal gowns In lush, cosi ly brocades, mctalllcs, velvets, salins and Jeweled silks. Win ston announced that the gold embroidered fabric used for sleeves of a simple black eve ning dress cost him $100 a yard. To go with the long eve- ing dress is the floor length evening coat. These coats were cut either slim, straight and tailored as a man's ches terfield, or with fullness at the back to give a grand sweep as the wearer walked. So far In the collections, there is more cover-up than bareness in evening clothes. Sleeves, for instance, on short and long formal dress ran all the way to the wrist, usually covered with beading. But Oleg Cassini, whose wholesale collection goes to retail stores across the coun try even as he designs espe cially for Mrs. John F. Ken nedy, bucked the tide and showed during necklines for evening. A group of black erepe dresses came wilh Ihe back exposed all the way to the waist, the front sinking daringly low. The Herbert Sondheim col lection produced variety in color and sllliquetle - pink for winter evenings, wrap- Family Attends .
