The Plump Girl
We inherited this little booklet from someone in my wife’s family. Fashion Dos and Don’ts for the Plump Girl is a guide from 1943 which is filled with wonderful advice for those who are “short, pudgy” (p.8) and “square, chunky” (p. 10). Pages 46-47 cover “pudgy hands” and “fat feet”, and page 15 (below) deals with the
“fat round face”.
Yesterday’s acceptable terms become today’s insults.
See a couple of pages from the book here.

the chic on the cover is the skinniest “plump girl” i have ever seen.
No, she just looks skinny because of the way she’s dressed. LOL

Well, at least I don’t have the pudgy hands and fat feet.
