Image Statement: "The perfect 1938 figure must have curves but it differs from the perfect figure of past decades in relationship of curves to straight lines....Now, though, the ideal figure must have a round, high bosom, a slim but not wasp-like waist, and gently rounded hips." Life Magazine, May 9, 1938
