A Basic Wardrobe

#3

"I believe," Claudette contin- ued, "that the basic wardrobe of any girl to-day should include one well-fitted suit with a blouse, sweater and the right bag. gloves, shoes and hat to go with a tailor- ed costume. The suit doesn't have to be custom made. You can buy excellent suits in department or specialty shops and have them al- tered to your figure measure- ments. But one important thing to remember is that high-heeled shoes are definitely not smart with a suit. A suit requires a medium or lower heel.

"The next costume in this three-piece smart wardrobe is a good, black crepe dress. It should not be flossy, or in any way styled to a current fad. It should do all that it possibly can for your par- ticular figure which, nine times out of ten, means it should be severely simple with a flattering neckline, long or bracelet-length sleeves and probably a bias or cir- cular skirt, or a nicely gored skirt.
