This is the season for formal
dances and many girls are con
fronted with the same problem:
"What type of formal evening
dress is best suited to me?"
Formal wear can be beautiful
whether the dress is full length or
ankle length, but the wise girl will
always choose that length, color,
and style which is best for her
own individual type.
Full-length formals add height
and are slenderizing to the figure.
The fuller the skirt (at the hips),
the smaller the waist will appear.
Tall girls have an advantage here,
as a long, fluffy skirt and nipped
in waist compliments her tall,
slender lines.
Shorter formals cut one's height.
Many short dresses look better
when worn with a number of heavy
crinolines than with a hoop. Long
formals, however, need hoops for
a better effect.
Crinolines can be starched in
sugar-water and remain stiff for
a longer period of time than when
regular starch is used. Sugar is
more costly than starch, to be sure,
but the effect is better and the
crinoline will retain its stiffness
much longer.
A "bombast" creates a beautiful
illusion when used over heavy
crinolines. Bombasts are very short
(about 10 inches long) crinolines
which fit around the waist and add
fullness to the hips.
Christmas time brings to mind
thoughts of fluffy white formals
tinged with silver, reds, greens,
and other festive colors. Satin,
lace, and velveteen are very popu
