With one hand hold the corset firmly down In place, while, with the other, lift the body inside the corset; now gently draw up the lacera at the waist Una un til the corset rises Into place and feels comfortable. Tie the lacera at the back; never tie them around the waist line, where they are likely to cut the corset, breaking or bending the bones, Sometimes tha lacers.are brought to the front, one end . passed under tha stocking supporter, where It meets tha other end and Is tied at the aide at tha corset's edge.
