"Dress and Look Slender" by Jane Warren Wells is a style guide from the early 1900s designed to help women achieve a slimmer appearance and feel confident in their clothing. Recognizing the societal pressure on women to conform to slim ideals, the author motivates women to embrace the art of dressing well regardless of their weight by teaching practical tips, strategies, and optical illusions to enhance their appearance. The book starts by acknowledging the author's own struggles and quickly moves to empower readers to understand their body type and choose clothing that cleverly creates the illusion of a slender figure, with later chapters promising to expand on color, fabric, and other vital principles.
