Boleros to Remain in Style

YOU agree with M a rk Twain
that “ A woman is always better
dressed In fashion than out of It,”
then you’ll gradually be remodeling
your last season’s clothes to this
season's modes.
Fashion experts claim that it will
take at least two years for the aver
age woman to replace her present
wardrobe with new clothes and the
“ new look.” This means that re
making, remodeling and refurbish
ing will be the order of the day for
some time to come.
T rot out the wardrobe problems In
your closet to see how they can be
handled. Imagination plus Ingenu
ity with needles and thread will do
wonders.
F or instance, take the short-skirt
ed, short-waisted problem.
What
better way to solve It than to cut the
dress apart at the waist, insert a
wide strip of another nicely match
ing or contrasting m aterial and add
a matching band at the hem? The
wide m id riff inset w ill delineate the
tiny waist while the bottom band
adds a graceful flare.
