Description
Excerpt from Home Millinery Course
Women have studied the dress because upon this depended the setting off of the graceful lines and curves of the figure, with a total disregard for making a suitable setting for the beau tiful lines of the face. The importance of making a study of this feature of a woman''s dress cannot be over - estimated, as nothing adds to or detracts from a woman''s charms as does the exercising of taste in this essential.
It. Is with much satisfaction, however, that we note a rapid advancement along these lines within the past few years, with the result that two-thirds of the women, who a short time ago depended entirely upon the advice of their milliner, are at the present time selecting and trimming their own hats.
This is not confined alone to any particular class of people but is being done by all with surprisingly satisfactory results. It should not be supposed, however, that this can be accomplished without first acquiring the necessary knowledge along the line of millinery, as without the fundamental principles, a woman is but limiting her possibilities and stunting her otherwise artistic nature.
