“High fashion is for the woman with time aud money. Good fashion is for the woman with a budget and common sense,” says Oleg Gassini, the famed designer and fashion coordinator to Jackie Kennedy. What is good fashion? According to Mr. Cassini, “It is knowing yourself and dressing to suit your figure, personality and pocketbook. Good fashion is making your own style. Clothes today are short, but if you do not have good legs, have the good sense to wear . your clothes just a bit longer. If your figure is less than perfect, make use of “camouflage” fashions like overblouses or no-waist dresses. But diet, too — the slim line is on the way back. ‘Sloppy Joe’ is out!
“Good fashion is buying with an eye to the future. It is buying a few expensive dresses that will last, rather than current craze outfits that will soon be passe. Classic lines are as good today as they will be tomorrow. Any style that is exaggerated— a tremendous collar or sleeve — has a short appeal. These high styles are only for the wealthy. A girl can make a piggy-bank wardrobe look like a million by buying wisely. Separates stretch any wardrobe. They are fun. I don’t feel as' some do that certain colors are taboo for certain girls. In my new collection I have an orange chiffon dress that can be worn by redheads, brunettes or blondes.
“Don’t buy a dress only because it’s ‘on sale’ You get it home and it goes with nothing else. You can put it in the back of the closet and forget it — or buy something to go with the bargain. Either way, not planning is expensive.
“Today’s budget-minded girl can look elegant — moderatepriced copies see to that. But avoid badly made, poor copies. It is better to buy a good pattern and make your own dress. My advice is — when in doubt, buy a good pattern.”
Photoplay took Mr. Cassini at his word and selected a Simplicity Pattern we think is perfect. What makes it unique is that with this one pattern you can make six outfits. A true piggy-bank fashion that looks like a million dollars.
