Show USE NEW ANGLES TO HIDE EXCESS BULK Architecturally constructed clothes have given the feminine figure a new silhouette. Full of angles and those modern blocked effects though it is, it is by no means deprived of the better curves. , Stairstep blocking to produce a towering effect, is worked out in trimming trim-ming and in stitching when the figure is too generously built to permit the bulky effect of material. If the hips are large but the shoulders shoul-ders inclined to be narrow, the block ing begins at the shoulders and tapers off at the hips. Wherever the most conspicuous part of the body, place there the least amount of emphasis. Color is another thing to remember to avoid for nature's overgrown parts. Large people, as a rule, do better in somber colors and very fine stripes, which tend to slenderize the figure. |
