Advice For The Slim Woman

It is always difficult to convince the slim woman that she needs figure control just as much as her plumper sisters.

Yet there are points about the slim woman’s figure which becomes infinitely attractive for just that little smoothing and rounding that the foundation gives. Her hip bones, for instance, invariably stick out, and these bony promontories are not attractive. Invariably, too, her bosum needs playing up—for nothing looks more dispirited than a flat, half-formed chest! There are little brassieres that coax it out very cleverly. And, of course, for the truly hopeless, there is always the trick of sewing little pads into the bras. No need to be backward about it—modern clothes demand a bosom! It is the failing of the slim that they think any little wisp of control will do. How wrong they are! It is nice to be slim, and it is still nicer to be wellshaped, And, yes, you can be both. But one can also be slim but very unshapely. And the wrong kind of foundation can cause some very unsightly figure faults.
