these advantages are important, they are
not a necessity. The first prerequisite is
not social background but the background
of a fine bone structure.
' Most women, however, are not pure
elegance or sensuality incarnate. For ex
ample, the charm of Suzy Parker is that
she is part dramatic actress and part girl
of good background; part fully woman
and part immature. Her striking loveli
ness demonstrates that such a combination
is not a flaw; indeed, there are no abso
lutes in beauty.
Fads do not sway Suzy. She knows she
needs full tresses to emphasize her
blue eyes and to frame her small face.
And whether stylists decree that hair
shall be piled high or contorted beyond
credulity Suzy's remains the same.
Suzy has broad shoulders and full hips
but a small bust, and she makes the con
trast charming. By wearing skirts of no
particular silhouette, loose-fitting suits,
and shirts that are very much like a man's,
she achieves a carefully conceived look cf
elegant neglect.
Conversely, a girl with small hips and a
full bust just the opposite of Suzy
would do well to keep lines fluid at the
top and wear her skirts tight across her
hips, thus playing down (but not conceal
ing) her bust and emphasizing her small
hips, which modern fashion has made a
much-sought virtue.
Such emphasis on a woman's strong
points is elemental. Rita Hayworth has
good legs, a good bust, and a beautiful
face, but she is rather shortwaisted. To
emphasize her best features, I dressed her
in clothes of utter simplicity, which might
be called the envelope look.
But emphasis is one thing and distor
tion another. You cannot be any type you
wish; clothes are even less than skin deep.
A basically pleasant, simple woman does
not become sensually dramatic by dressing
like Mrs. Paley she becomes ridiculous.
Don't let sales persons, your women
friends, or even your husband bully you
into wearing something that isn't right
for you. A well-dressed woman dresses
neither for men nor for other women but
for herself and in doing so pleases the
discriminating among both sexes.
