Flashback: Tips for the budding fashionista


"Plaids are even better liked for the small girl's suits than they are for her older sisters. Often she wears a plaid dress, with a thoroughly boyish top coat of covert cloth or melton. But the little plaid suits are most girlish and attractive and, best of all, from a mother's standpoint, are preferable to plain cloth in that they seem not to spot nor soil so readily.

Like her older sister again, the little girl's skirts are carefully shaped — gored and made to flare. Circular models, for obvious reasons, are tabooed for her."


Appeared in the Leduc Enterprise on March 1, 1907.
