Stout Sizes
BY HEDDA HOYT
United Press Fashion Editor


The few stout women left in this
dieting world find it difficult to buy
smart clothes in large sizes. True,
some houses specialize on stout"
dresses, but even there are smarter
garments in medium sizes.
There's one thing which the stout
woman should remember when buy
ing a gown-surplus flesh demands
surplice bodice lines! When the large
woman fails to cut down on her
weight she must rely upon the cut
of the gown for "slenderizing." Sur
plice front effects in bodices do
much towards making one apear
less rotund. The surplice is not
necessarily a matronly style. For
instance, the dress made with a sur
plice front which ties at one side
without necessitating the wearing Of
a vestee is most youthful. AS a rule
the bodice joins a pleated front
tunic. More matronly, are SUPPLIES
with reserves and vestees which
form a v shape as they join the
tunic. The dress that isn't made on
surplice lines may use a long strand
of beads to aid in apparently divid-
ing the breadth of the figure.
One-sided and V-shaped neck
lines are preferred to other types by
