Chapters cover selection of fabrics, colors, and trimmings, plus accessories, shoes, stockings, and cosmetics that influence perceived proportions. Detailed advice on remodeling a wardrobe, tailoring techniques, and age-appropriate styles offers adaptable rules for different body types and occasions.
