Special Mode

For The Outsize Woman

ONE of the most important

fashion shows of the senson took place in London recently, It is a mannequin parade of outsize models, and it is im- portant because the outalzo woman so seldom gets the at- tention she needs.

The London Press was given 11 pre-view of the dresses and sults-utility and general-that have been specially designed and cut to suit the needs and the pockets of the outsize women.

The wholesale manufacturer who is giving the, parade estimates that there are 3,000,000 OS women in Britain, 90 per cent, of whom can be ted with properly designed ready- made garments,

He ins made a scientific study of the outsize woman and her clothes, und has found that there are three main OS types; the short-stout (un- ter 5ft. 4.): the tall-stout (over SI, Sin.); the average stout (5ft. Jln.),

"DANGER POINTS" in the out- size figure, are the back, usually weeply curved; the upper arm; the bust line and the hips.
