FOR THE STOUT
WOMAN
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

"HE stout woman can be just
as attractively gowned as
Il. her slim sister, IL she
chooses her clothes with discre-
ton. Long lines, and dark but
becoming fabrics viii do much to
correctly dress a large woman
provided the foundation is cor
rect.
Black flat crepe makes smart
gown for afternoon and informal
occasions. The front of the
blouse should be open to show
a vest OF dark metallic fabric.
Long sleeves with bit of the
metal trimming at the cuffs
should be used, for the stout
woman should rarely attempt the
sleeveless models. The skirt might
be cut with a point on either
side of the hips.
Mauve, navy, tobacco brown, or
old wine shades are pleasing
variations from black, although
the latter is always good for
stout figures.
The three-piece suit is an ex-
cellent costume il one is too
d slump, but must be cut on long
graceful lines. A gown cut close
to the figure with skirt fairly
narrow, might have an upper
blouse Of crepe silk, attached a
little below the normal waistline.
Long sleeves, caught into tight
band at the cuffs makes smart
gown when the jacket is re-
moved. -
For the coat, one should choose
a model that comes almost to the
knees, and it might be banded
and collared in flattering fur. A
suit of black broadcloth or duvetyn
would be charming combined with
kolinsky or the less expensive
dyed squirrel.
For evening wear. the gown Of
black chiffon velvet is practical
and becoming. This, Of course.
must be sleeveless, and might be
drapped to the figure. A corsage
of silver flowers, Spanish comb
thrust into the high coiffure, and
black velvet footwear would
make an interesting costume.
