Feminine once
escorted charms and frailties to and from the lips of women's disparagers. It still has a propensity to wear colours like
lilac and
apricot, as well as conveying qualities like
mildness,
elegance, and
sweetness.
It has predominantly abandoned diffidence, politesse, and chastity. Femininity, is no longer a single sex institution, and it continues to advocate community, nonviolence, and good taste. it is concerned with the line, the silhouette, the movement: it must curve, it must be continuous and gentle and slight.
