[emblem] Costuming When an actress makes her initial appearance on the stage, every eye in the audience is upon her. You don’t have a costume designer or a make-up artist as does our actress, but you won’t need any. Your own good taste and a handy mirror are your best directors. Our campus clothes are comfortably casual. The traditional skirt and sweater, along with socks and saddles or suede loafers, can definitely complement your personality. Scan the pages the special college-minded fashion magazines to find your individual touches and accessories. No one is going to check your sweaters for a cashmere label, so select a wardrobe to please your men, mirror, and checkbook. Don’t feel that you must come to SUI with a new wardrobe; remember that your clothes are all new to us. On cold winter days you can wear wool knee socks if you choose, for the gusty winds that whistle across the Iowa River aren’t gentle to bare legs. Count on Bermudas, slacks, and levis for study time at the dorm or for picnics in the spring. On Friday and Saturday night dates, your most stunning dyed-to-match skirt and sweater combinations with hose and flats conform to almost all situations. Of course there are functions that call for more than casual attire. Graceful cocktail dresses or delicately bare sheaths for a dramatic silhouette define an evening at an all-University dance. Going strictly formal at SUI is infrequent, so check with your date before you press the yards of tulle in your most formal gown. On Iowa’s stage the least expensive, most appealing cosmetic is your own sincere smile; reapply often for best results. Last of all, clothes are not the most important thing—you are! However, no matter how large or how limited your wardrobe may be, dress with simplicity, individuality, and practicality. 7
