Be A Continental Sensation!

A few ideas from a Simplicity flyer showing the Summer Scene in 1962. You could be super-feminine in hip-riding pants and a be-ruffled toplet. Or belt a chic beach-dress. Then after you enjoy that day at the seashore you can cover your top and shorts with the skirt so you can go marketing! 

She is Really A Glamorous Creature

What is this "glamour"? Nancy Tailor has the answer. At least she did in 1962. From a set of Beauty guides we have this list of "trappings of glamour". 

"For glamour, dear girl is for the men...designed to delight and enchant them into a state of love...to remind them forcibly of the difference between the sexes."

1. Laces
2. Lingerie touches
3. Furs...soft and flattering
4. Beautiful jewelry
5. Flowers
6. Perfume - a suggestion of fragrance, not a bath in it
7. Giddy hats...very flattering hats
8. Eye makeup...that adds intrigue or mystery - tastefully applied
9. Very sheer hose
10. Tall, thin heels
11. Soft glossy hair
12. Intense color
13. Dark, dramatic colors
14. Feminine pastels
15. Conversation pieces in accessories

"P.S. Mommy says you already know the one she wants."
