Thier corset is quite undetectable under the sheerest dress. It fits the figure like a

glove and remains un- wrinkled no matter what position the wearer assumes. Of course it is expensive most really good things are, but for the woman who desires to have a sylph-like figure io is the one ideal garment and it is also aupremely comfortable.

There are some excellent corsets for those whose figures do not need so much control, which make a good foundation for these summer frocks. The Tu-Way Stretch Step.In is a smaller model which fits snugly over the hips. Another new corset | is named the MisSimplicity, it fas tens at the side but has a cunning strap of elastic.crossed at the back which gives great figure control..
