SLIM-BY-PROPORTION
CORSETRY
NOTHING reveals stoutness
quite so much as ill-propor- (h
tinned corsetry. Violent
contrast between too-large bust, too
small waist, and too-large hips aids
pounds to the appearance and de
stroys the possibilities of graceful
carriage and becoming dress.
So many women who are no longer
slim, endure the discomfort of stiff,
heavily boned, tell-tale corsets be
cause they do not realize that there
is an unbelievably more comfortable .
and becoming kind of natural cor
setry that will subtract pounds fron)
their apparent weight and make than
slim-by-proportion.
But such corsetry must be skilfully,
scientifically done. If you will per
mit our experienced corsetieres to
properly fit you with a slenderizing

them. Then It was discovered tiU
many had been sawed almost to
