"Maisie Pope" says:
"Bones are my trouble, and I took. like a hop pole.”
She could wear high squared little Susan rang me up last week. She's my friend who says just what she huts with this and perfectly plain "I'm just about tired of court shoes with medium heels. trying to buy clothes to sult me, And her top coat should be sleek and you're doing nothing to help rather than swagger. One of those me. I want to hear less about per-straight, collarless coats would be fection, and a lot more about how her best buy for the spring. you'd deal with my six feet of bad- ly arranged flesh and bones. It's a safe bet my problem, bothers hun- dreds of women. and they are all feeling just as cross ás I um.'
Then she rang off. "Stella Barton" is short and stumpy. Her favourite classic suits make her look like a walking pillow. Of course they do, and they should never get into her wardrobe at all.
"
If she MUST wear suits they should be soft and rather, casual. Neat little cardigan jackets with curved fronts. Skirts gored to the waitline and not too narrow at the * hemline.
She would look much nicer in tailored frocks with seams piped from the shoulders to make a panel back and front. Strictly tailored lingerie and the best foundation garment she can afford are "musts." Because she is "rather square," ordinary small women's sizes are no good to her, so she makes her own."
We would like to see her in the frock Silvaine has sketched below. Soft but not full drapery on the bodice, waistline suggested but not marked, very narrow sash tying at the back. It's the kind of frock French women so often short and square have made famous for chic.
She sent us a snapshot to show she was no exaggerating. Sho looks grand in suits because of her razor-slim hips, but a girl can't wear sulting all day long.
She yearns for frocks, but they always look as though she had bor- rowed them from a much shorter- armed sister.
And she only wears. mannish Homburgs, because the girl in the shop never believes she could pos- sibly want anything else.
We want her to try a smock frock. They are the rage in New
York.
They start with a flat yoke and all the rest of the dress is gathered into it. Before you do things with belts and girdles, the smock frock hangs straight and full. The sleeves are pure bishop, gathered into:wide wrist bands. A smock frock makes a thin figure look im- be portant, and the fullness can arranged in several ways. Good in dark rich colours, but best of alf in black. With a 6in. laced-up
