Prom i hips to the knee he binds the figJ and all movement comes from the knl Tall and slim, the mannequins moJ with remarkable grace, not sways from the - hip, w'ith their heads “1: bell-flowers buoyant,” and their sho dc-rs slightly stooping.. Patou is cla curing for the feminine, type of worn to come into fashion again; clearly will haveMier frail and slender.
