Importance of Sleeves
Dressing the arm is vastly I'M

narrow or just large enough so that
the arm continues the line. as i'll

An unbroken line from under
arms to hips she considers very
good, with the front of the gown
loose or softly draped with no at
tempt to accentuate the waistline.
If a girdle is used it should be
loose enough to preserve the I'M
broken line, as in the same frock.
The skirt should be invariably
hoisted n trihe in the back, so that
it '"drags in" at the hem.
The diagonal effect of the eve

good and may be introduced in

A long necklace adds a great deal
to a large woman's appearance,
but a short necklace and especially
beads are to be avoided.
