The myths we cling to (like static on nylons) -- The battle of the neckline : taking the plunge -- Create your own shape : standing on the shoulders of giants -- Dare to be bare! : winning the arms race -- The fits of your knits (and other great tales of design) -- Jackets : they're not just for cover any more -- The art of proportion : the two-triangle theory -- The pants dance : waisting away and other critical issues -- Skirting the issue : lines, lengths, and (great-looking) legs -- Your best look : a flawless you.
