a WORD TO THE STOUT WOMAN.
1t is a mistake for stout woman
not to have some fullness at back OF
her skirt says a writer in Harper S
/ Bazaar. A small hustle in the back
will make her look smaller than If
the skirt is allowed to hang in below
the waist. A small pad in half moon
lii At
each end. just at the middle of the
| back, makes a surprising difference in
the hang of the skirt. and oddly
enough, seems to take away from the
width of the hips and the size of the
/ stomach Vertical lines are in every
| instance the Wisest choice for women
who are at all inclined to stoutness.
Especially in striped fabrics this ques-
ton should be carefully considered.
and the material made up according
to some pattern which brings the
| lines mostly vertical. Should the skirt
| be so cut as to make the stripes run
up to point in the back, this will not
interfere with the becoming effect. but
! they should never run horizontally on
Il stout woman. Note: This is 20
year ago fashion ruling. but might be
judiciously applied now. Think it
over.
