I was struck by the wonderful instruction sheet I read on a 1930's Advance pattern (#1262). Consider these excerpts;
One of the extreme delights of every women is to be well and attractively dressed. Fortunately, with modern dressmaking methods she can with little effort, construct for herself and for her family complete wardrobes at a minimum of expense.
The important factor in securing a garment of smart appearance, pleasing to yourself and admired by your friends, is the proper selection of pattern and fabric in relation to each other, as well as to your own particular type and personality.
You should study yourself and learn by experience which lines look best on you and which colors are most becoming.
Should you be doubtful as to what is best suited to you and what is your proper size, it will pay you well in dress contentment, to secure help from competent people in the stores from which you buy your piece goods.

They sound as though a wise and kindly teacher is giving you personal advice. Do you have "dress contentment"?
