Waktlne. That u the desired effect.
Then, continuing down to the hips
and thighs, that line should be par
ticularly we'll nodded, and not too
rounded-the hatter the better. Boning
is used sparinely in all garments and
for the heavier figure that requires it,
there is often an outer panel of plain
fabric to hide any unsightly vertical
tines.
WE WOULD like to emphasize the
fact that an expensive eirdle or
foundation Is not an extravagance. 1t
will make even your most inexpensive
dress look smarter, and when properly
fitted to you, IS all such garments
should be, 1t will be 4 perfect Joy In
the comfort that 1t affords.
To get down to something specific,
let us talk about foundations and gir-
dies that may be found in local shops.
They are really lovely, too including
. good supply OF those new smart
ideas in black satin and lace to wear
with black evening clothes.
LAstex We usually think Of in con-
nection with garments for juniors,
and those with small, slender figures,
but so many larger women have been
asking for them that they are now
obtainable in sizes 38 to AZ bust in an
excellent foundation garment that is
scrupulously tailored, guaranteed to
fit, and has plenty Of eye appeal.
This garment of thin, powerful net,
with lace top, has a narrow front and
back panel OF one-way stretch silk
lastex
A new girdle Of double-faced satin,
with high waistline and perfectly fiat
back, gets its stretch through four
very narrow vertical strips OF firm
lastex net. This new design for firm
control has very light boning, front
| and back. A new perforated reducing
girdle comes in 4 brocaded rubber,
with satin panel front plus two bones
instead OF the usual rubber, 10 that
1t is possible to have smoother, fiat
| ter front. This will obviate that
| roundness that so soon appeared after
wearing the older type for short time.
There is a matching bra that may
prove very helpful.
IN ONE shop they have been chart
ing figures this week They call it
figure -ology" and take all your
measurements to test your propor-
tions. Then they can suggest gar
ment that exactly suits your indl-
vidual requirements. For the tall, full
figure they suggest a garment Of
striped cotton pique with side panels
of lastic and concealed bones back
and front. There is side upper
fastening for the lower portion and
the lace bra fastens in back
The same shop is most enthusiastic
about foundation that has a special
criss-cross fastening in the back OF
the bra top to insure \ very nat line
across the diaphragm.
The most glamorous foundation
that We found in another shop Is an
all-satin garment, lovely for dancing,
with narrow elastic panels at the sides
to give just enough stretch, and 4 bra
top that is of fitted satin with tiny
lace edge, except at center front, where
fine net Is used. The back is cut low
and there is a side hook fastening
The absence of boning makes this an
essentially youthful garment. "Bolero'
is its name!
This shop is very proud of gar
ment for the medium figure up to
size 40 in wonderfully strong, hand
loomed elastic with new princess lines
small waist that is very, very flattering
Garments Of this kind have hereto
fore been made only in the most ex-
pensive types, starting at $25. However
they have let down the bars somewhat
and are now making this new number
at 4 much more reasonable price, ts
the delight OF all concerned.
