PLUMP FOR PLUMPNESS
Curves in Beauty Chart LONDON, March 26. “Women can throw away the Dietrich arts. Fuller figures will be the vogue in 1935.” That is the comment of the “Daily Mail” in pointing out that London beauty experts agree with their American colleagues that “Miss 1935” will be taller, with more pronounced hip and bust lines, and about 121 b. heavier than the recent average favourite weight. A West End expert declares that the •'shadow silhouette,” due to starvation diets, is dead. Women in a few months will be aiming at reviving almost all the plumpness of the “Gibson Girl.” Nevertheless, massage and exercise will be necessary to prevent disproportionate curves spoiling the fashionable figure. The waist still must be small and slim.
Another expert says “slimming” has been waning for months. Recent films, featuring high-chested, plumpshouldcred heroines in costume pictures have paved the way to the return of the Venus shape.
