I was looking through my 1911 Delineator and came across this. I mean LOOK AT THAT. Where are her organs? Her hips? And that corset goes down to her knees! XD I don't know about you, but I would not be wanting to buy a corset from this company. Oh, and a note on those prices... $3.00 equals about $50 today.

The ad claims: Direct from Paris. From Paris we get the last word in fashions. The new models of American Lady Corsets are designed according to these very latest demands. As the proper foundation for the modish gowns of Spring and Summer, corsets must have these feature--the low bust, the straight, snug hip, the waist line slightly pronounced, the flat back, either medium or long. This is the general tendency in corsets, modified, of course, to suit the individual requirements of every individual wearer.

American Lady Corsets reflect these fashion dictates to perfection, made in a sufficiently large variety of styles so that there is a model for every figure. There is a model for your figure.

When buying, insist that you get the American Lady Corset (it means a better figure and a more perfect fitting gown for you). Also insist that you get just the right model of American Lady Corsets for your individual figure.

For any further information you may require in regard to American Lady Corset styles, or styles in general, write in addressing your communication to our expert authority on fashions, Madame Lyra. (And then there are details about ordering and such.)
