The secret of success in dressing the athletic woman is to always remember her large and abrupt movements. This at once denies her the dainty dress and the ornate gown, and limits her to the flashing and to the 'efficient' one.
Abrupt movements do explain why I could never wear a long necklace--so popular in the 1920s--without it smacking into me. This is from Marie Cary, Style and the Woman, 1924 and published by the Dry Goods Economist which means it was meant to be read by the clerks who sold clothing. So what does the athletic woman wear in the evening? See next week.
