Produced by Stan Goodman, Dave Morgan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "What Dress Makes of Us" by Dorothy Quigley is a fashion guidebook written in the late 19th century, around 1897. This informative text discusses the impact of clothing choices on personal appearance and social perception, emphasizing how different styles can enhance or detract from one's natural features. Quigley addresses both women and men, offering practical advice on how to avoid common fashion faux pas that lead to caricature-like appearances. In this book, Quigley offers detailed insights into the art of dressing well for various body types and facial features, particularly focusing on hairstyles, headgear, and garments that flatter specific shapes. For women, she discusses the importance of choosing hairstyles that suit their face shapes, as well as appropriate hats and clothing that help to create harmonious proportions. Men are also advised on how to select garments that avoid undue emphasis on their physical traits. The underlying message throughout is the significance of understanding one's own body and making informed clothing choices that reflect personal style while enhancing beauty, thereby avoiding the ridicule associated with poor sartorial decisions.
