As spring arrives and Easter approaches the big news shaping up in fashion circles is the renew ed emphasis on "fit". New silhouettes are very body conscious, focusing exciting detail toward the body from the waist up. ' Suits and new . dresses are en hanced with more bosom detail in fresh, new molded shapings.

Set-in sleeves and thin lapels add to the columnar look. - The cardigan and officer's coat are other versions of the straight cut coat.. - Suits Take Stellar Role For the woman who loves suits (and what woman doesn't), this is an important suit season. Denim-fit suits with a new high bosom look and free-swinging skirt and higher jacket are smart and very , new . looking. ' Jackets that barely touch the waist are often mated with gored or paneled . skirts to ensemble as the bolero suit. These brief of .bits of jackets often dip slightly below the waist at the back. Particularly noteworthy are a group of cutaway and squared off type jackets. Softer and more de fined than the familiar old boxy jacket, they are not buttoned and often combine with their own over blouses and handsomely detailed skirts.
