Keep these pointers in mind when wardrobe shopping: *No matter what style you select in a pant, skirt or dress — sit down in it before you buy it. Never buy anything thinking you will lose weight. Bend, stretch, sit and walk in it. Use a three-way mirror. e Be certain that the neckline and shoulders fit well; they are often noticed first because they are at eye-level. ¢ A fitted waist seam must rest comfortably at your true waistline. e Because of their expense, jackets must fit better than anything else. It must lie flat across your shoulder in back. Check that the sleeves are set in without puckers. Do they allow for easy movement? Do they cover the wristbone? © Vertical sideseams must drop perpendicular to the floor. If the skirt is straight, can you “pinch an inch’’ of ease at one side? (One inch pinched equals two inches of ease.) © Consider the cost of altera- tions into the cost of the garment. ‘ Check For Quality Workmanship Is there straight, even stitching? No puckers? Raw edges finished to prevent ravelling? Generous seam allowance? e Check loose threads — give them a pull. i - Quality . Eyewear! _ 985-0707. Lonsdale : at 13th, North Vancouver, B. Cc. See Know Page 17 Joan Cairns is stopping traffic these days. Old friends can’t believe how she’s changed. Before, because of major back surgery, she had been unable to exercise, on doctor's orders. So her figure had grown matronly, and she dressed — and acted — accordingly. Then her physio- therapist stepped in, prescribed something new. Now Joan is a perfect 10, looks and feels marvelous. “|tost 14 pounds and 42 inches | in two months LYING DOWN with | no possibility of hurting my back, and | can't thank my physio- therapist enough," Joan says, preening a little because she knows she looks nifty in her new straight-skirted suit. Francine James has been out buying new clothes too. Her old size 16 wardrobe doesn’t fit her new size 12 figure, and a figure that Francine once thought. she'd never have. She'd spent most of her life los- ing and gaining back the same 40 pounds starving herself on diets groaning to exhaustion in fitness classes. "! hated every minute of it, so after the class I'd go home and raid the fridge to ccpensate.” Then, like Joan, sn: discovered through a friend, FIGURE DYNAMICS, met owner/manager Joanne Mowatt, and found there was a much easier way to shape up. a” “The changes in my thighs actually changed my wardrobe. | used to wear baggy clothes for camouflage. | could never have reshaped my thighs with diet alone. | used to fluctuate 5 pounds over a weekend and it could never make this much difference. Now | wear knit dresses and tailored pants.” Figure Dynamics is the miraculous technique first in- troduced to Canada by Barbara Valente at her Syloh Salons in 1978. Joa.ine Mowatt trained and worked with Mrs. Valente and is now the only practising certified cellu-technician in Canada. Using the same equipment and programs perfected by Mrs. Valente, Joanne is able to shape, tone and contour bodies with fast and almost effortless results. Hips, thighs, stomachs, bustlines, arms and chins can all be toned, tightened and restored to firm youthful attractiveness with her professional methods. Advertisement Joanne lays down the rules as you begin — no salt (it’s respon- sible for fluid retention in the tisses), no coffee — herbal teas only, fresh fruits and vegetables and proteins: fish, chicken and beef, nothing canned, no cigaret- tes and alcohol in minute quan- tities only, if you must. Then the appropriate treatment is prescribed, whether intended to induce weight toss, inch reduc- tion, cellulite breakdown, treat- ment of circulatory problems and any combination needed to ac- complish the maximum benefit for each individual client. Besides women like Joan and Francine who have had no lasting success until they discovered | Figure Dynamics, Joanne Mowatt also numbers professional athletes among her clientele. They come to her for muscle condition- ing treatments. One well-known figure skater came to Joanne for help in reducing the size of her thighs. Originally developed to be us- ed for physio-therapy, this equip- ment has been modified to be us- ed in the health and beauty field. This muthod is safe and effective and has been recommended by many doctors to their patients. Free introductory visits are available to any women who are interested in this program.
