SLIMMING TRICK
If you want to make your body to look longer try gently squared-off shoulders on a long-line jacket or sweater, says Norman Hartnell. This makes a broad hip-line or bust-line diminish visually. Similarly, a skirt that Is slightly flared makes a big hip-line look narrower, but not if the hem is too abbreviated.
Plump hips cause more rideup” on skirts, and do not help the slimming cause one whit Any home decorator will tell you that dark colours re-
cede (or slim) and light ones advance (or broaden).
The rule is an essential one for dressing oneself, too. Choose suits and dresses in ,a dark shade, therefore, and have a fling on accessories. Wear jewel-coloured scan ves, gloves, shoes and jewellery. This draws attention to your neck, face, hair or ankles and fades unwanted inches into the background. And wear long ropes of beads, not choker necklaces. Long earrings are better for “fatties,” too.
