It is a shame when the snow is around to betray squirrel's tracks, and these beautiful sweaters have to duck behind tan trench coats. But there are times when one stands in the lobby of Hill Audi- torium, and notices the Univer- sity's young women reemerging from within the tan trench coats, but they are all wearing real dresses that they picked out with the help of some special guy at one of Ann Arbor's famous stores and they all look nice. In this lies the essence of fash- ion at Michigan. 'x Ne w Ski rts Show Trend, I n Burlap New Styles Deemphasize Old Tradition. By GAIL EVANS and JUDITH BLEIER In keeping with the trend to- ward more casual campus styles, feminine fashions for spring pledge formals will de-emphasize the tra- ditional formal. Resplendent, floor length crea- tions may still be worn to a south- ern ball, but on the University scene this style has vanished. Ann Arbor shops are featuring the sophisticated cocktail dress- bouffant and straight in attract- ive pastels. Turquoise and maize along with the ever-popular white, pink, yellow, lime, and blue will attract co-eds this season. Although flowery prints seem to be in the spring fashion spotlight, formal wear will give a softened effect with organza overskirts. Of course, solid colors are again in style in silks, chifons and or- ganzas.. The lace bolero jacket will ac- centuate many new spring sheaths. Also dresses made from eyelet will give a feminine, lacy effect.. The trend toward the more prac- tical cocktail dress at both formal and semi-formal occasions is a di- rect result of the University social system, several Markley co-eds noted. "There just aren't enough ,occasions to get dressed up," one woman complained. J-Hop, which formerly allowed women the occasion to go all out for strict formality, is a thing of the past. The Markley Formal was, changed this year from a formal to a semi-formal affair. But the trend appears to signify more than just a change in local traditions. The predominant desire seems to be for practicality with- Drudgery in Sewing Replaced by Machines By SANDRA JOHNSON I, - . _ 1Ff lE J44 Long Leg L panty (S 5;/ a."o 'A s" 71 . .. shapes the smoothest of slender lines with an' ever-so-ligl] elastic fab. rc (two-ply in front and back)and a controlling hip strip.

By CAROLiN WINTER The female, always searching for new and different styles, has turned to the feedbag this year for inspiration. She is disguising herself in bur- 'lap of all sizes, shapes, and col- ors. Skirts and jumpers have not been left out of this new craze. -Burlap skirts and jumpers come in' all colors ranging from its nat- ural beige to new pinks and blues. Also popular is burlap with tapes- try designs. To add to the rustic effect, many skirts are adorned with fruits and flowers. MuuMuu's In vade'lU' By SUSAN SMITH, and SHARON MUSCOVITZ The Muu Muu's have invaded!, This is not a weird creature from outer space, but rather the newest thing in girl's lounge-wear. They are a cross between a dress and a robe. Muu Muu's come in a variety of prints -and colors from the most feminine pinks to the most shocking purples. They have a scooped neckline and short, puffed sleeves, which billow to the knees giving the body a draped shape. Besides being a great conversa- tion piece, the Muu Muu can be used forstudying, sleeping, loung- ing and Hawaiian or other types of costume parties. In Hawaii the Muu Muu is used for quite a dif- ferent purpose. There it is the ac; cepted dress and is commonly' used for street wear. Another feature of the Muu Muu and one loved by females, is the fact that it's so unrevealing. As soon as one is put on, off comes the girdle. And you know what comes out when the girdle comes off. No need to worry, Muu Muu's hide all. Not only the Democrats were delighted with the outcome of last year's presideritial election. Photograppers, fashion designers and magazines have been having a field day since Nov. 8 and the center of all the excitement is Jacqueline Beauvier Kennedy, who has probably been the first lady in history to be more photographed than her husband. Not only is Jackie an overwhelming success as a symbol of the highest standard of American-style inoffensive gracious living, but she has actually founded a cult. The "Jackie Look," the New York Times reported recently, is the hottest merchandizing gimmick since Shirley Temple dolls and every available medium is taking full advantage of it. The fad actually began during the campaign, when Jackie toured the country in a red plaid coat with big patch pockets which soon became the rage all across campus and the country. Coats quickly became Jackie's specialty in style-setting and the one one she wore to the Inauguration, a white wool with elbow length sleeves and a tiny fur collar has set the trend for dresses, coats and suits this spring. The elbow-length look combined with three big buttons auto- matically gives the "Jackie Look", to almost any article of women's apparal and makes it a best seller automatically. The other look Jackie has made famous is the casual boat neck- sleeveless look, not only in cottons but in wool dresses as well. De- signers are delighted with the savings in fabric, and any wool -dress sans sleeves-And jacket is another immistakeably "Jackie" creation. No doubt about it, Jackie has caught on like wildfire. She has had innumerable paperbacks and magazine features devoted to her. When she appears on a cover with her freckles unsubdued and her hair windblown, she combines the dignified beauty of a professional model with the unassuming charm of the all-American girl next door. This down to earth touch in an indisputably aristocratic young woman is undoubtedly one of the main sources of the Jackie appeal.

THE NEW LOOK-Jacqueline Kennedy's mode of dressing has aroused such an interest in the American people that her style has become the avant garde in the fashion world. This new look. is evident in her perceptive eyes, her personal warmth, and as a consequence, in her dress style. SETS TRENDS: Mrs. Kennedy Loads Worldof Fashitons In the beginning, sewing was woman's work. But it's no longer so. Women have been supercieded by ma- chines-machines that cut, ma- chines that stitch, machines that gather and machines that hem. Relatively few professional tai- lors and seamstresses remain to wark at sewing. In this respect,, women's work is done. Nevertheless the art of sewing; is not lost. Women themselves have redeemed, cultivated and developed it now--as a pasttime, a hobby. Modifies Styles Let the modern woman, who knows how to sew, thumb through a fashion magazine, and she is lost in a world of .imagination. She sees herself beautifully arrayed in a soft pink gown just like the one the model is wearing on page 83 except that she, of course, has made her neckline a little rounder, her sleeves a little longer, and her skirt a little fuller. And once one' understands that the modern hobbyist-seamstress always changes her patterh, -h matter howr good the pattern, may- be progress has been made to- ward understanding how and why she sews. Pride in Creation. She, takes pride in the fact that not only has she selected the style and material of her dress, but that she has also, in some small way, designed and created the dressy herself. It is truly an expression of her individuality.' Skirts, blouses, bermudas, slacks, suits, jackets and coats-all these and many other garments are sewn by the do-it-yourself crowd. Despite this variety, it is safe to say that the women who most en- Joy sewing, most frequently make dresses. Here their full creativity comes to flower. There is such a multitude and variety of possibilities-suit-dress- es, casual dresses, cocktail dresses, formal gowns, and now, with sum- mer fast approaching, sundresses. While all these may be found in the latest pattern books, one also finds some styles so striking and so distinct that they seem to belong in categories all their own. Graduates? A store manager recently com- mented on the habitual pattern of student purchasing in Ann Ar- bor. "As freshmen," 'he said, ,"they usually arrive haying bought all of. their clothes in their home town. "Some of these students will come with 'clothes that are very different from the 'usual quasi-ivy leaguish regalia. This fact both- ers some people very much, others not so much. "Then in their second year they come- with about two-thirds of their clothing quota set and buy the rest in Ann Arbor. "The third year they'll prob- ably buy about three-fourths of their basic clothing needs here. Their senior year they come with only their underwear."

Spring Displaces Bubble Hairstyles By RISA AXELROD One of the decisio'ns that co- eds will be making this spring is whether or not to burst the "bub- ble" of winter hairdos. "The bubble is definitely out," said one beautician, but its airy bouffant seems almost too popu- lar and proud to give way to a de- flated counterpart. Hairdressers and stylists are emphasizing the new flatter and short hairdos. These creations have casual bangs, Italian tops and pert spit curls at each side. Popularity From Versatility Their - 'popularity will spring from the versatility they possess- the style can be modified to fit any face shapes and hair textures. A second advantage is that they require less setting. A nightly brushing and a few clips sufficing between washings. Also, the short styles will not be adversely affected by wind. A modified version of the bub- ble, also known as a modified "Jackie Kennedy" style; is the shorter, smoother bouffant. This hairdo, although casualin ap- pearance, still requires as much care as its predecessor - some- times more, if "teasing" is neces- sary. 7 1 II I r I '. .. bright print 'I Oka " El3 '4' ', 344yr. d II t + f , f- ,:., - . , "... , ,., ,_ ':r .
