If you think FASHION PAGE has been taking your figure for granted

by JILL

BUTTERFIELD

HOW MANY times have you

sighed enviously as you gaze at the elegant girls who glide across Fashion Page?

How many

times have you thought: "It's all right for her she's got a model figure"?

How many times have, you dismissed a garment you saw out of hand because it was shown on someone who looked like a bean- pole beauty?

According to my postbag, times without

I find that certain firms (particularly Jaeger, Polly Peek, and Susan Small) cater for my size and i can step straight into ready-made clothes. So don't let a small girl tell you she can find nothing to fit her. It simply. means she has not spent the time, really trying

The plump

PROVING THE POINT that a plump girl can look very pretty is 22-year-old Jill Carter.

She told me:--

I haven't the kind of propor- Lions to be a top clothes horse, so on the whole I stick to com- mercial advertising photography. I have to be very careful indeed choosing the clothes I wear. For my bust is a good 86"-not a lot. for a normal job, but not good, for showing clothes.
