A PAGE FOR WOMEN
The Short, Heavy Figure
THE short woman
who has al-
lowed herself to grow over- weight must keep her figure in- conspicuous (until she slims through diet and exercise) by dressing with care and knowing which lines, 'as. well as fabrics, tend to normalise her proportions.
For instance, the short stocky woman should never select any striking design in material, buiky weaves, satiny surfaces, or long- haired fabrics. For her (if she desires to look chic and slinumer) are the sheer woolens, the firmly woven crepes, swede-like heavier materials for coats and suits, and plain velvets with a light-absorb- ing pile. Silk prints should be of indistinct design and only semi- sheer, All jersey is problematical for jersey clings.
Simplicity of design is the next precaution she must learn. To quote a fashion authority on this: The short, heavy woman should be careful to avoid adding bulk at the sides of her figure. Wide sleeves, large bows placed on shoulders or hips, heavy drapes and bulk fabrics
make her figure seem shorter and heavier. A few simple lines.extending the length of the figure are better.
"This figure type should never permit colour contrasts or other breaks to form horizontal lines. Coats should always be worn full *length. Hat and shoes should continue rather than contrast the colour of dress or coat."
Gain Height This Way
the
Interest centred high on figure adds to apparent height. The short-stocky woman should * choose a neck - treatment and a ~-- hat that draw the eyes of others upward. V-necklines create the illusion of length so they should be emphasised by a contrasting colour of elaborate detail such as embroidery or striking necklaces. Her neck should never be covered for that makes her look heavy.
In fact the V-line is an excellent one to concentrate
upon, as V
scaming tends to elongate the fig- ure and an inverted V in a hat shape can add several inches to onc's appearance.
Detail Suggestions
Here are a few guiding principles for selecting attractive "costumes which the short, stocky woman or gir! should follow:
Avoid yokes in dresses. The un- broken line is better.
Wear belts the same colour as dresses or coats.
Avoid all horizontal lines in ma- terlal design and dress styling..
