Exit the perfect 36!
Enter the perfect 34.
Dame Fashion is responsible.
Dressmakers have filled the New York papers’ want ad columns with calls
for services of the 34 mannequins.
And still further they specify that she must be within the precincts of
the misses’ “16.”
This is because grandmothers want to wear granddaughters’ clothes.
Specifications for the mannequins call for:
Symmetry.
Slenderness.
Small hips.
Slender biceps.
Trim ankles.
“Woman herself is responsible for the change,” says Miss Marion
Rothschild, associate editor of “Women’s Wear.”
“For nearly three years the feminine population has been struggling to
get into smaller and smaller clothing.
“Naturally they get what pleases them.”
