"The right foundations for one's outer garments play such a vital part in their success that undergarments have acquired a place of importance in the wardrobe. The sort of underwear to select for various types of costumes and for different figures is a matter requiring as much careful thought as the costumes themselves. Then there are the many varieties of sleeping garments, bathrobes, kimonos, and negligees, into the selecting and making of which a woman has an opportunity to express much of her feminine charm.
