Show FASHIONS 84 Xidawright On a recent jaunt to a well known resort, I was actually shocked by the sights there were to be seen in the realm of ladies and their fashions. This is truly an age of display we live in display of flesh. L am as tolerant as most people, I am sure but I cannot approve of some fashions that some women insist upon wearing. Some women will wear anything without regard of -he matching to their figures jf the fashion worn I saw elderly women in shorts! - and I don't mean the long type, but the abbreviated short variety. Large hipped women, they were, f.-ith. the ungainiiness af their large legs and the flabbiness of older flesh fully displayed. How can they be so oblivious to the amused stares and undertone comments of onlookers I Ladies, if you are older, don't try to wear the styles of youth. On the dance floor cf a nite-club, nite-club, a 200 pound woman appeared appear-ed in a strapless formal. A strapless model must be worn on the snug side to hold up. You can guess how this defined her proportions. A roll of flesh bulged over the entire top of weight. In fashion design, a well founded rule for large heavy women is never tight fitting clothes. Many other women with unattractive un-attractive round shoulders were to be seen in strapless gowns, and this fashion is intended only for younger well-proportioned and gracefully postured figures. The rule in the fashion world in Hollywood, which has un-defiable un-defiable set a fashion lead for the world, is always, if any part of the figure is unattractive, cover it up'. A well known star, with an angular body, always appears smartly dressed in loosely draped fashions to conceal her too slender figure. Also, cleverly designed higher necklines are a must for her. She is never seen in low-neck gowns. Another top star with deep neck wrinkles is always seen in high necklines, or neck-scarves or heavy chokers. Every woman should study herself her-self carefully. Learn to know her type of figure, it's proportions, propor-tions, limitations and assets, and then dress accordingly. Don't be fooled into, wearing fashions not intended for your figure type. Also, consider the time of day and occasion for which you dress. True charm can only be achieved by careful study and its application. |
