The natural female silhouette cannot be improved upon. In all history of feminine fashion, none is more beautiful than those that feature a normal bustline, natural waistline and easy midcalf skirt length. To distort the female figure into a flat chested thick-waisted, shortened torso on long- 'stems is positively ridiculous, and yet women accept it and preen themselves accordingly. It is true, if these modified repetitions of the 'twenties fashions take hold again, there is no woman who will be seen in anything else. We will, as sheep, follow the leaders shorten our skirts and completely com-pletely change our wardrobes. I implore you again however, to use common sense and discretion dis-cretion with your skirt lengths. iiiilil If the dictated length is sixteen six-teen inches, remember every woman varies in height, size and weight. One must consider proportions, and different leg lengths. There is for every woman, wo-man, a flattering length for skirts, and this can only be determined by herself and not by a fashion designer 6000 miles away. No woman, even the most beautiful, does not look lovely with a skirt length that shows the back of her knees. In the woman's fashion world there is indeed a lot stirring that is 'new ... the changing silhouette, the 'sack, the chemis, the predicted new short skirt length. It is causing much comment com-ment worry and consternation. To the young generation, the new styles are appealing and welcomed, but to those of us who wore these same fashions during the twenties, they are not new and not anticipated. Every day women ask for my opinion of the new look. Frankly, Frank-ly, I think it is a pity that w must follow tjhe whims and dictates of someone whose motive mo-tive for creating the change is to stimulate and increase their business.
