DRESS SMARTLY

by Mildred Graves Ryan ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 11, 1956

The right and wrong of costume assembling amplifies much that is in her earlier Sew Smartly (p. 67) in its discussion of the ways and means to achieve an attractive appearance. Here again you take a candid camera to your assets and liabilities; you are instructed about line, shape and space, color, texture and how to combine these to fit your requirements of build, personality traits, preferences and coloring. Dressing for the city, suburbs and country, for vacation, travel and at home, types of clothing for the school and career girl -- all these are guideposted for all shapes and sizes. There are charts and illustrations to emphasize the points- and everything points to suitability and simplicity, good taste and good grooming. A good basic course in styling (which is not fashion) for the dedicated student.
