WHICH COLOUR IS YOURS!
White makes a woman look innocent, winsome, and classic. Clear-white for the blonde, creamwhite for the brunette.
“Black suits the fair,” a poet tells us. It is the thinnest colour a stout woman can wear ; indeed, the woman who wears black to the best advantage is she who is stout and has black eyes and black hair.
A subdued shade of blue, heliotrope. and olive-green, with black, cf course, are the colours under which flesh seems seemsless ostentatious, while Wedgwood-blue, pale grey, and almost every shade of red are to be avoided.
Mauve and the higher shades of green, are the two colours that in decoration about the throat and shoulders are especially helpful in diminishing the effect of flesh.
