BY LAUEENA PRINGLE Free Fashion Writer LOS ANGELES In spite of vehement protest from the couture group, every California sportswear designer has made concessions to the relaxed look of the chemise. Couturier Irene of movie fame says it is "a nice dress for Paris," but Esther Zolot tags it "exciting" and claims that she introduced it five years ago. with a stimulating use of color. One new fabric, a blend of pure flax and dacron, met with instantaneous success. This gives a linen look with magic wrinkle proofing as well as washability.

ZOLOT ALSO introduces a fine Italian silk yarn usually found in delicate lace but given a textured peasant look. In the counter camp on the chemise, Tabak of California insists firmly on a definition of the waistline and a nice balance between the skirt and the upper part of a costume. DILL AND SUE Only now, she continues, is it receiving its deserved recognition. ZOLOT HAS some graphic evidence to support her claim, in an unbelted knit dress that was a part of her 1952 collection and which she had modeled again for the fashion writers attending the California showings this week. It was definitely the chemise look and gome writers were even more willing to accept the 1952 model than its '57 variation.

Other than that, Zolot resort lines are following closely their reserved tradition, but Ac i 1 (Je look, mummy I never MtNtp-we'u-l THERE'S a braveTI I oiiy I ve JZZ IM LEAKING" SOOH MAKE IT WOUNDEP? 'The Sight of Mood. and Mrs. Victor H. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs.

Her husband weeds out American terms and slang changing garbage can to dust bin, money to lolly and movie to flick. Her fans write to inform her when her characters are not dressed to cope with the perfidious British antral heating. She gets more laughs than criticism. Nobody anywhere, even in Parliament, laughs at her $350 a month salary.

It's more than they make in You find the easy, bloused look when the skirt is slim and, conversely, an ease in the skirt when the top follows a straight lady-like quality typical of Tabak. In her creation of the '57 line, Mary Blair reaffirms the Tabak meaning for sportswear which is generally accepted as "the California look." There are vibrant colors that reflect the sand and sun and sea of the golden state. A new cotton crepe chiffon that is more opaque than usual makes a bow in the whole range of Tabak's pastels and jewel tones and, of course, in black and white.
