The smooth unbroken line

THE LONG BRA PLUS THE HIGH-WAISTED CORSET CAN GIVE CORSELETTE RESULTS

 

 

The high Empire bustline and the smooth unbroken Princess line accentuate the need for firm uplift, strong diaphragm control, a moulded waistline and hipline. The ideal foundation garment for this control would appear to be the one-piece or corselette, but these are sometimes difficult to fit satisfactorily, since the range of sizes and fittings necessary in a really comprehensive corselette stock are not always practicable for a small department or shop. Many figures will benefit from the double control of a long brassiere combined with a high-waisted corset
