Finally ... swimwear
for full-figured gals

CANADIAN SWIMWEAR de-
signer Zita Harper creates a
much-needed design coup: a new
line, marketed under the name
Azure, that allows fuller-figure
women (to wear the kinds of
swimsuits they’ve been longing
for.

USHER IN summer with a cross-back maillot from the Azure line

The expected bulky skirts or
heavy inner supports are nowhere
to be seen.

In their place is a new
sophistication of design: Legs cut
just right, to look fashionably
high withour revealing too much
hip; derrieres with fabric properly

tocks; and real bras, some with
invisible underwiring, others in
actual cup sizes. Armholes are cut
a touch higher and a special
powermesh inner fabric that gives
control without stiffness or weight
is added.

Having solved the problem of
figure control, Harper found
herself free to create really sleek,
high-sty‘ed swimwear that mature
or larger women could wear with
confidence.

Her new Azare swimwear line
has plenty of fashion pizzaz:
blousons, wonderful criss-cross
body draping, lots of wrapped
bosoms, tactful hip treatments,
and two-piece suits that create a
look of sexy bareness that knows
exactly where to draw the line.
Many styles are available up to
size 20,

Color is a spectrum of flattering
jewel tones. Classic black is team-
ed with well-placed splashes of
color. Hot tropical prints add
dazzle, either by themselves or
