Best fabric is wool Dear Readers: Today will be the sec, grid of my fashion columns for fall '79. Zibet's discuss the fabrics and colors for 'this new, exciting season. For suits, you'll want a wool or wool blend, considering the lower temperatures we'll be living with. Wool is the most beautiful and versatile of all the natural fibers and can be worn in all areas of the country. It is warm without bulk, and can be light as a feather.

Suits For suits, tweeds, donegals and herringbones in soft, muted colors are so beautiful. The beautiful depth of these fabrics is due to the yarn-dyed fibers that blend muted colors in the same fabric. A piece-dyed fabric is dyed after the fabric is woven and has a "one color look." Flannels and gabardines are usually piece-dyed and are a little dressier and tailor beautifully. The unexpected fashion look is combining velvets with tweeds and flannels. For the sportswear look, combine with wools.

The corduroys 'are so lovely and soft, some resemble velvet because the wale is not visible. "The more sportive garments are made of the wider waled corduroy, often cut on the bias for a shaded effect. Dresses Dresses are soft and perfect in wool jerseys, wool crepes and wool gauze. The wool challis is available in prints as well as solid colors. Wool is an investment you will never be sorry about.

It has a natural resistance to soil; it doesn't wrinkle; it cleans beautifully. Because it is a living fiber, it doesn't soil or need cleaning as often as synthetics. Blouses Blouses are featured in satiny polyesters, failles, challis, cottons, crepe de chines, both polyester and silks, and the new appearance of lovely rayons. Ultrasuede Ultrasuede is as popular as ever and has become a way of life because of its easy care and versatility. The colors are luscious; it wears like iron, and you can make your Ultrasuede for a fraction of the ready-made cost despite the cost of $50 per yard.

Plaids and tartans are making a big come back and add a great dimenson when used for skirts as well as jackets and when combined with other fabrics. This fall, fabrics are easier to work with because of more body to retain their shape. The color story is equally exciting.

The ease and softness of the patterns, plus the dropped sleeves or raglan shoulders, make it virtually impossible to keep the blouse correctly on the shoulders. It wants to slip back, even though it fits perfectly. What can I do to prevent this? Marge M. Dear Marge: Thanks to a very experienced seamstress, I can pass her hint on to you. When she has these raglan- type bodices with the necessary, soft fullness, she attaches lingerie straps to the bodice at the shoulder.

This is a short piece of seam tape fastened permanently on one end to the shoulder seam about two inches from the neckline. On the other hand, attach a snap, add the other half of the snap to the shoulder seam an inch from your seam tape. After you slip the garment on, slip the lingerie strap under your bra or slip straps and snap to the dress. It works beautifully and will keep the shoulder line in perfect position. Isn't that an easy solution? This week's winner of the blazer but- tons is Bess Milberger, 5114 E.

Burns, Tucson, Ariz. 85711. Her tip: "When gaucho pants were in fashion, I made several pairs, changing the basic pattern. The fabrics were very good and I didn't discard them. Instead, I ripped the inseams, cut off the excess material needed for the curve of the pants, and restiched straight seams.

I now have some beautiful new skirts for fall!" (You, too, could win the blazer buttons. Send your sewing tips to Eunice Farmer, (address below).
