Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a lady.

A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes.

I have yet to see one completely unspoiled star, except for the animals - like Lassie.

Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a lady.

As women, we all have certain weaknesses. I know one who can't resist pretty shoes but has nothing suitable to wear with them. Others adore frilly lingerie but never have any money to buy outer clothing.

Before you are interviewed for the job you want, try on the complete outfit you intend to wear.

Building a proper wardrobe is like building a home. Indeed, you should think of it like a home, because it is something you're going to live in. It must be comfortable and suit all your needs.

Couture has copied my things for years, in addition to countless other costume designers, claiming theirs were the original ideas. It's all part of the business, unfortunately.

Even the most beautiful legs - Marlene Dietrich's, for instance - look better when the kneecap is covered.

Every different director has another language - for instance, Hitchcock does not like any bright color ever, unless the story says 'there goes the girl in a red dress.'

Fashion is a language. Some know it, some learn it, some never will - like an instinct.

Growing old gracefully used to begin at about 35, but today women prefer to 'stay young gratefully' with thanks to designers, beauticians and plastic surgeons.

I always wear beige, black or white. For one thing I look good in them. For another, when I'm beside a star at a fitting, and she looks into the mirror, I don't want to be competing in any way.

I have yet to see one completely unspoiled star, except for Lassie.

I've dressed thousands of actors, actresses and animals, but whenever I am asked which star is my personal favorite, I answer, 'Grace Kelly.' She is a charming lady, a most gifted actress and, to me, a valued friend.

If you hunger for certain types of clothes, for which you have little use, put yourself on a diet. Just as you resist too much whipped cream and French pastry to keep your figure in shape, you can say no to those yearned-for but unneeded purchases that lead to a wardrobe that is shapeless and without form.

Many faux pas of fashion can be avoided if you curb your instinctive desire to buy things with your heart instead of your head.

Many women have asked me if it is possible to have a well-built wardrobe on a limited budget. 'Money,' I tell them, 'is no guarantee of taste, and an overstuffed wardrobe is often as bare as a skeleton when it comes to wearable apparel.'

My motto is that the audience should notice the actors, not the clothes.

Some people need sequins, others don't.

There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter.

We don't make glamorous movies today. Everything now is very realistic, artistic - and depressing. When is the last time you you saw a wonderful musical or a fabulous fantasy?

What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen, he's become a different person.

With women, there's a basic female instinct of caring deeply about the way they look; women stars have a narcissist complex.

You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it.

You can lead a horse to water and you can even make it drink, but you can't make actresses wear what they don't want to wear.

Your dresses should be tight enough to show youre a woman and loose enough to show youre a lady.

Grissom is pretty asexual. He's not that interested in anything other than work - except for Lady Heather. She's the closest to getting his heart of anyone.

I want to be the first lady to land a quadruple jump in competition. As I grow older, I know that my skating style will develop and mature.

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

I got sick and tired of my lady wearing ugly underwear to bed, so I turned to the Internet.

Truth is a demure lady, much too ladylike to knock you on your head and drag you to her cave. She is there, but people must want her, and seek her out.

More men than women like 'Strangers With Candy'. Pretty girls don't like the show. They don't like to see an ugly lady.

I didn't hang around films. I don't know if I'd ever seen Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes.

Accuracy to a newspaper is what virtue is to a lady; but a newspaper can always print a retraction.

I've shut myself inside these walls, and I'm going to be a very lonely old lady if I'm not careful.

I dated a lot of girls all through high school, and in college I dated a young lady for about eight months.

I knew I'd conquered America when Mike Tyson told me I was one mean lady.

To my embarrassment I was born in bed with a lady.

I'd like to think that the boring lady who's talking to me now is a lot sexier and more interesting than the one who's doing NPR. You know, studious and reserved, and - I bet you're a lot of fun at a party.

I could draw Bloom County with my nose and pay my cleaning lady to write it, and I'd bet I wouldn't lose 10% of my papers over the next twenty years. Such is the nature of comic-strips. Once established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear waste.

Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.

I'd make a wonderful Lady Macbeth. I'll wear a pair of platform shoes or something.

I explained to the lady my love for John and his work, and she made it possible for me to purchase one of the 24 proofs, the one for 'I'm So Tired,' which I have on my piano at home.

Luck, be a lady tonight.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

Elizabeth, Lady C, claims to be writing at the limits of language. Would it not be insulting to her if I were diligently to follow after her, explaining what she means but is not smart enough to say?

I was a married woman and I had a baby. I would have adored it, but I just couldn't do it because I'm a lady.

As the 1960s began, a new breed of Hollywood leading lady was emerging. She was elegant, international, and wonderfully comedic.
