Your Minor Will Show the Improvement
In Your Figure
To Our Stylish Stout Patrons
We ask all women who are stout, who feel and fear that they are
becoming stout, to read what follows seriously. It is made after a
year's experiment We are sure of our ground, so we spealf plainly,
that women who are seriously concerned may profit.
It is A fact.
Here is a corset that actually slenderize the ttout woman!
Tct statement will probabh b enough to interest the woman who has
suffered in mind and body from increasing weight; but. lest she be skeptical,
and. in view of all the claims and counter-claims that have been made, she
has a right to be skeptical, let us tell the whole story.
A maker of corsets stopped one day to ask himself wherein the corset
for the stout woman differed from the one for the slender woman.
He found that the one thing that had been considered the essential feature
of the corset for the stout figure was the rcrj thing that made it a failure,
insofar as it was supposed to reduce flesh.
The corset nowadays deemed correct for the slender figure does not "fit'
in the sense of following every line and every curve of the body; it is com
paratively straight ; it allows the figure to remain natural ; it outlines.
Bui the corset for the stout woman what a difference 1 What a sad
difference!
Pressure, pressure, pressure binding, harness-like straps, that. pull flesh
out of place; that lump flesh: that stnve to control flesh (and do in one
spot only to bulk it in another). Result: Hollow back, round bust,
accentuated breadth of hip. Corsets that are supposed to suppress actually
accorr$!uh the opposite effect.
For more than nine months this maker experimented. Over two hundred
living models were used and. finally, the Stylish Stout Corset was evolved.
The idea was revolutionary, and yet it was so simple I
It applied to designing corsets for the large woman the same principle
as is in use for the slender woman.
Straight lines, without pressure!
For pressure implies contrast; a pulled-in waist means an accentuated bust,
and a woman seems larger than she really is.
Let the waist remain normal; now work for symmetry; for lessened con
trast; do not pull flesh out of place, control it in place.
And. there, we have what the Stylish Stout Corset really does.
It controls the flesh in place and comfortably, making it possible for
stout women to enjoy the same style lines as slender women do. It reduces
the bust from one to three inches, the hips from one to six. when properly fitted.
And we have seen to it that women will be properly fitted in this new
idea corset.
The Stylish Stout a made in both front lace and back lace at $6.50,
$10 and $15. We trust every woman who is at all interested will avail
herself of this opportunity and come and have a talk with our corsetiere.
We look upon the Stylish Stout in the light of a revelation to the corset world.
You arc cordially invited to meet Miss Dougherty in our
corset section, 4th floor.
