Is your daughter on the plump side? She can and should look as pretty as her slim friends.

Not so much. It's saying she can have a tummy that's hidden by her clothes and therefore look "yummy."

The point being that ads from the '50s were so bad and misogynistic that this is actually quite good by comparison.
