Dear Ladies:
Today let us discuss the fit of a garment.
A garment, a gown, for example, should fit properly. It should cover you, drape in a flattering manner, and help to augment your bodily features.
It should not outline each and every one of your flaws in egregious fashion (which is not fashion). One should not be able to, say, ascertain precisely how many hooks are buttoning your chemise through the fabric of the gown. Or gauge that one has a mole on one’s elbow.
If there is any question as to the fit of your garment, remind yourself: just because you can get it on doesn’t mean it fits.
Leave some room to the imagination. Not to mention leaving some room for your body.
