Catalogs As A Fashion Fantasyland

A shopper extols mail order catalogs as life changing. She praises avoiding fitting rooms and imagining outfits from pages such as a bold black polka dot drop waist dress on page 73, describing catalogs as a dream wardrobe source.

Public fitting rooms and the mirror of fashion

A humorous Erma Bombeck column contrasts a catalog model with the author, noting shared style yet differences in height and tone. The piece skewers shopping rituals and self perception, detailing home fitting room tricks, mirror distance, farsightedness, and playful scale theatrics to judge fit and color.
