TT Is SURPRISING. the number Of
women with plenty of time, who
cannot do a bit of sewing for them
selves. 1t is equally surprising
how these women turn themselves
over blindly to dressmakers whose
ideas end with their paper patterns,
who have no real conception of the
varying needs of each client.
No woman can be beautiful I'M
less she knows how to bring out
her good points and how to conceal
her bad ones. Our stage women
are beautiful-they have mastered
the art Of dress. the art of hair
dressing. and learned how to hold
themselves. Our society women
are usually very gOod-loOking-
they also put themselves in the
hands Of artist-cOstumers, and are
dressed to make them appear
beautiful.
The average woman buys every
thing, from hats to shoes, because
it meets her price or takes her eye
regardless of whether it is the
sort of thing she should wear.
Pretty clothes cost little when you
make them-but you must know
how to do it well.
] advise you. if you have any
time for such work. to get a dress
form just your height and fixed to
your exact measurements, to buy
materials and cOlOrs that become
You, and study yourself to decide
whether you take the frivolous. the
severe. demure or sports style.
Suits and coats are hard to make
because of their intricate tailoring,
but dresses and negligeos and un-
dergarments are easy and de-
lightful
Be well dressed. and stylish. and
half your battle of beauty is won.
Choose cOlors to bring out your
hair and your complexion. styles
that will suit your type, pretty.
artistic things, and see how soon
everyone will notice a change.
