"Dress and Look Slender" by Jane Warren Wells is a guide on fashion and personal styling written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the concerns of women who desire to appear more slender and fashionable, particularly during a time when the slim silhouette was in vogue. It offers a variety of practical tips, strategies, and optical illusion principles that help women navigate their wardrobe choices to enhance their appearance, drawing on individual strengths while camouflaging areas of concern. The opening of the book introduces the author's personal struggle with weight and her realization that looking good in clothing is about more than just losing pounds. Wells outlines the societal pressures women face regarding body image and fashion, motivating readers to embrace the art of dressing well without necessarily conforming to narrow beauty standards. She emphasizes the importance of understanding one's body type and offers insights on selecting clothing that creates an illusion of slenderness. The subsequent chapters promise to expand on foundational principles, color usage, fabric selection, and more, making a case for confidence gained through personal presentation.
