rule number one for all American women: You are to be seen and felt, but not heard. Listen and do as you are told and everything will be all right.

Women want to wear what they do because of what goes on in their heads. Their size and shape have practically nothing to do with it.

Chic is a combination of style and fashion.

I don't know when the word fashion came into being, but it was an evil day. For thousands of years people got along with something called style and maybe, in another thousand, we'll go back to it.

It is impossible to be completely abstract about clothes because they have no life unless they are worn. They must fit onto a body or they do not exist.

After marriage, all things change. And one of them better be you.

All one really requires for putting anything over is enough energy and resistance to keep on plugging the idea. Someone will eventually fall.
