Which may or may not be true, But what my companion overlooked was the fact that it's much more diff- to dress cult for a plump woman smartly than for a thin one. And whatever other theories men may have about women they certainly like to see them looking snart.

So to-day

I've pick- ed out a pat- tern that is specially de- signed to give good lines to

And it's easy to make, as you can see tam the diagram at the right of the drawing.

The pattern can be made with the two different styles of bodice shown in the main figures of Angrave's 12 choice of four drawing. There's

different types of sleeves-long and niting; long, but alting only to the elbow with pleated fulness above; three-quarter length with pleated fulness above the elbow; or above- Iength.

THE first style shown has cross-over bodice line -but a cross-over effect that in different from the usual one pre- scribed for full figures.

The left side of the bodice is cun- ningly cut with a scarf-end that is und drawn together in soft folds

This style would look well made up la a dull-surfaced crepe, marocain, velvet a fine woollen or some novelty material. If you used a reversible material you might use the shiny side to face the fabot section 50 that a touch of contrast is introduced. But don't use the shiny side for the whole dress as it will emphasize your inches.

The amount of 30in. fabric needed would be; sizes 34, 30 and 38, 34 yards; size 40, 4 yards; size 42, 4% yards; size 44, 45% yards; size 45, 42 yards; size 48, 4 yards; size 50 and 52, 5 yards.

In this style the bodice is plain, cut fairly high to the throat, bul the severity is relieved by a collar and jabot of contrasting material. The collar is cut with rather deep rather points, to emphasise length than width slimming point that seems small but means quite a lot in the flaul effect.

Here again choose n soft material. But you like the style and want to make it up, in wool it would look very smart as long as you use the long, tight-01- ting sleeves and not the pleated full ones.

The style as shows with

three-quarter sleeves would take the following lengths af 39inch material; size 34 and 36, 3yds.; size 30, 40, 42, 34vdst:.size 44, 40, 48, 37%yds; size 50, 4%yds; size 62, 4 yds.
