By ELIZABETH TOOMEY NEW YORK, Mar. 19— Mrs, Estes Kefauver was named the best dressed

woman in public life by the Fashion Academy today, but the Senator's wife frankly admitted that her wardrobe had a long way to go before it could be suitable for the First Lady's role. “Oh, my goodness,” redhaired, Scottish-born Nancy Kefauver exclaimed when she heard that she had displaced Mrs. Anna Rosenberg, Assistant Secretary of Defense, on the Academy’s 23d annual selection of America’s best dressed women in various fields. “I make some of my own clothes and make over others,” she explained. “I haven't even bought a new spring suit so far. What would I buy if my husband was elected President? Well, I'd certainly have to add a lot of things, and I don’t have much time to sew any more.” When Mrs. Kefauver

goes campaigning this spring with her husband she said she will take along a five-year-old tweed suit she bought in Scotland and an olive green taffeta formal she made two years ago. “I Keep my clothes quite a while usually,” the pretty mother of four said. “I don’t know how much I spend on clothes a year, but I've never had anything like a cus-tom-degsigned dress or a mink coat. I like tailored clothes during the day, something like a gray flannel suit and feminine clothes for evening.” » EJ ” THE SENATOR'S WIFE, who arrived here last night for a few days during which she hopes to shop for one new ‘campaigning suit,” worked briefly as a dress designer in ILondon- before her. marriage. She also studied painting in Paris. “T used to make some of the children’s clothes, but there just isn't time now,” she said. “The last dress I managed to make
