Fashion Forecast:
No Radical Changes
Styles Viii Suit
You In '53
By KAY VAUGHN

NEW YORK II AS the SO fash
ion picture unfolds, the first
thing we can report is = No Ra-
dical Changes This Year. Next
we find so much variety - so
many styles to pick from - that
you are going to have a field day
choosing what is most becoming
to you.
Slim dresses are still with US
and suits are still simmer. But
on the other hand, so are full
skirts plentifuf and you can still
swirl to your hearts delight
whether it be in taffeta or cotton
skirts.
What's new this year is the
centering of emphasis on the
hips. A dangerous place for spot
light but nonetheless fashionable
this year. You're going to see a
lot of giant pockets placed low
on coats. In many cases, there's
a band or blet right on the hip
line to give that extra emphasis.
The new shape in coats and
suits also extends to the shoul-
ders in sleeves. No padding in the
shoulders, yet. Shoulders go right
into the sleeves and collars stand
away from the throat.
Fabrics are important in this
ne w'53 picture. Poodle cloths, so
smart and bulky last winter, are
giving way to the soft-as-butter
woods. And no wthey drape and
hang on you, whether in suits or
coats!
In the dress fabrics, there's
much stress in crease resistance
this year. Old favorites have
been worked over for more
wearability and for easier care.
But fabric is so an important part
of thi SO picture that you're
going to see some very new com
binations in clothes. For IN
stance. there is a dress Of sheer
wool combined with coat of
the same color and material only
a bit heavier. Again, dress or
suit will be of the tiniest checks.
But the top coat is OF. slightly
larger check. And how smart
these combinations are!
A distinctive print is going to
be in every fashionable woman's
wardrobe. Especially the combin
alton prints, where the dress is OF
the same print as the lining OF
a sweater or wool jacket. This IS
tres chic and only for the woman
who can afford many costumes.

AS for quietude for thinking and

the Corbins have no children,
they assumed the responsibility
