The gay fabrics shimmer and glitter to make the Party costumes colourful and picturesque

PARTY clothes for holiday teas, receptions and balls -

are as sparkling as the tinsel on the Christmas tree-intriguing as the "Don't open until December 25th" sign on the biggest box you've received. Their fabrics glitter and shimmer. The detalls on them are fascinating.

For the most formal dance of all, there are gorgeous gowns of the new degrade satin. One particularly handsome model of this material is deep wine at the hemline and palo pink at the decolletage. As you suspect, the wine gradually shades to pink. Another la rich purple at the bottom and shades to pale blue at the neckline.

Lame in all colours le perfect for wraps, as well as dresses. Lace, including the metallic varieties, velvet-plain and criniied-and smooth, heavy cropoй are widely used. The two. silhouettes. that were im- portant earlier in the season still are prevalent. You go to a dance la a pencil-alim, smooth-fitting gown

that moulds your figure, or in a bouffant creation with Blonder bodice and full, billowing skirt. In addition, there is the inverted wine gisas silhouette that is tight from neckline to knees and wide and flaring from knees to the floor.

For teas and bridge parties, tunic dresses are ideal. Get one with street length velvet or crops skirt, in `a dark colour, top it with a slender tune of some luxurious fabric and add rather formal-accessories, Incidentally, this type of costume is appropriate for informal dining.

Regular dinner dresses have long sleeves and daring necklines. There are many dinner suits, of course, but for gala parties, dresses are considered a little better. If you have a dinner suit, get a tunic blouse

of satin or lame or a formal shirtwaist to wear with- the skirt. That way, you have two outfits at little extra expense.

Remember that carefully selected accessories add. variety to a holiday wardrobe. A white evening. "gown is the perfect nucleus around which to build a number of idens. For instance, you might have red shoes, bag and Jewellery to wear with it on some occasions. And blue, green or black ones to go with it, too.

**: Be careful not to overde an accessory colour scheme,- While red shoes, bag and jewellery would be just right, adding red Velvet gloves would apoll the effect.

PERFECT for hol sday parties is this for mol afternoon costume, which consists of black velvet skirt, and u filled tunic of silver lame. The smart little hat matches the sit
