[maryam63]

hi,thank you for your website I have watche ROAD TO AVONLEA series and in eoisode 1 I've heard this sentence..please explain me the meaning of it:
"There is nothing less becoming to a young lady than puffed up airs"

 

[Grumpy]

I'm not familiar with the series, but I suspect it is set at least 100 years ago.
It means "It's not very attractive for a young lady to act as if she is more important than she really is", or "It doesn't look good for a girl to act posh".
