See Your Figure
Improve Each Day
It only requires one minute and a half each morning to
correctly adjust your Gossard Corset. But in that
brief period of time you improve your figure and as the
days go by you see a transformation.
Gossard Corsets lace in front. The idea was originated
fifteen years ago and today front-lacing dominates the
world of corsetry. The laced in front principle makes
it possible for you to see the lacing in the mirror while
you adjust your corset and also makes possible the
correction of any figure imperfection which have de
veloped by improper corseting.
Gossard Corsets . . . .$2.00, $2.50, $3.00, $3.50, $5.00 up
