edwardian-time-machine: ►Corset Wednesday “Scanned from stereoscope card, copyrighted 1899 by T. W. Ingersoll. Original caption: REDUCING THE SURPLUS. “NOW PULL HARD!” A small waist between a full bust and ample hips, such is the shibboleth of fashion, and the poor girl that relies on her figure to make a good impression, is sorely put to it, if nature has denied her the shape of a wasp or if she has not learned to rely on physical exercise to model her frame. A vigorous walk of ten miles a day, supplemented by ten minutes of lung gymnastics, would do wonders for her.” Source -- source link
