Dear Straight Talk: I have a solution to the fashion wars raging in the last few columns. For clothes too plunging in the neckline or too short at the waist, simply layer with a stylish undergarment. This is the popular way to dress now anyway. Find a pretty camisole long enough to cover the tummy and high enough to prevent peeping toms. For items too tight or too short, pass those on to charity.—T. L.
Dear T.L.: What a simple, brilliant solution! You’re right, bare midriffs are out and the layered look is in. Thank you so much for writing. You’ve brought salve to the battle-weary.
