Thin-Looking Fat Women
is good news for fat women. If they want to look thin they must not wear belts, dresses too tight for thorn, or short sleeves. They must just streamline themselves. The authority for this advice is Mr Henry S. Churchill, a famous architect of skyscrapers, who, addressing the Council of Fashion Research at Newark, U.S.A., in October, advised stout women to use the principles of architecture in dressing themselves. “Fold's of materials, colors and textures will, if improperly used, make a diabetic matron look like the Woolworth Building, ’’ he said. ‘‘ We advise not too much color and very little in the , form of ‘ flipsy-flopsy ’ trimmings. Shiliy surfaces and puffed sleeves should be taboo. “The stout woman persit.s in buying'exactly the wrong thing. She should wear dresses that lit her without being too tight, sober in color and as simple as possible. She should have the look of a well-designed skyscraper.
