The ready-made silk dress which the American woman of small
means now buys for a few dollars is of the very latest style and as
tasteful in its lines, color scheme, and trimming as a high-class
designer can make it. A ten-dollar gown is copied from a
hundred-dollar model.
Whereupon our gifted dress-designers are indefatigably at work on
the problem of providing a good fit for almost any figure, with as
little alteration as possible, and the results achieved in this
direction are truly phenomenal. Nor is it mere apish copying. We
make it our business to know how the American woman wants to
look, what sort of lines she would like her figure to have. Many a
time when I saw a well-dressed American woman in the street I
followed her for blocks, scanning the make-up of her cloak, jacket,
or suit. I never wearied of studying the trend of the American
woman's taste. The subject had become a veritable id?e fix? with
me
The average American woman is the best-dressed average woman
in the world, and the Russian Jew has had a good deal to do with
making her one.
