Make-up and Wardrobe When an actress makes her initial appearance on the stage, every eye in the audience is upon her. You won't have a costume designer or make-up artist as an actress does, but you won't need either one. Your own good taste and a full-length mirror are your best directors. Before exhausting your total budget on that "collegiate look," don't forget that all the clothes you have now will be like new to the U of I campus because we've never seen them! And it isn't necessary to have lots of clothes; except for casual skirts and sweaters you'll need only a few items in each category of dressy dresses or suits, formals, and coats. If you choose versatile styles, attractive accessories will expand your wardrobe beautifully. Similarly, coordinating outfits will go farther and be easier to adapt than lots of separate pieces. The weather, too, gives the Iowa coed her cue. The warm fall season is short, so we usually rush through it by starting out in dark cottons, sweaters, blouses, and wool skirts. This casual look, finished off with loafers or flats, will take you to class, and parties. The exception to this is Homecoming, when coeds dress in low heels and suits or dressy outfits for the football game and go formal to the Homecoming Dance. "Formal" can mean anything from a long gown to a wool cocktail dress, depending upon your preference. In the fall you may go picnicking, and here you'll want bermudas, slacks or cut-offs. The same sporty outfits will get lots of use as lounging or study clothes. For protection against the elements you'll need a trench coat in the fall, and a heavy car coat to keep you warm on your way to classes in the winter. You'll find wool scarves, gloves, and an umbrella useful, and Iowa City winters call for snow boots on your jaunts through the drifts. When the April sun begins to warm the air, coeds head for the sun decks atop the residence halls, and bathing suits are definitely "in." On Iowa's stage the least expensive, most appealing cosmetic is your own sincere smile; reapply it often for the best results. Last of all, clothes are not the most important thing-you are! No matter how large or how limited your wardrobe may be, dress with practicality and your own individual taste in mind. [hand drawing] woman looking in mirror 10
