My motto is that the audience should notice the actors, not the clothes.

Many women have asked me if it is possible to have a well-built complete wardrobe on a limited budget. "Money," I tell them, "is no guarantee of taste and the fitness of things, and an overstuffed closet is often as bare as a skeleton when it comes to wearable apparel."

Life is competitive; clothes gird us for the competition.

My motto is that the audience should notice the actors, not the clothes.

Many women dress for men before marriage, and for women after marriage.

Even the most beautiful legs - Marlene Dietrich's, for instance - look better when the kneecap is covered.

As women, we all have certain weaknesses. I know one who can't resist pretty shoes but has nothing suitable to wear with them. Others adore frilly lingerie but never have any money to buy outer clothing.
