Gypsy Creams
More Corsetry!
Woman's Weekly / 9th March 1957
Overindulged at Christmas? This is an early version of the girdle, it seems, judging from the ‘NuBack panel’. What really amused and puzzled me was the sentence “…the lightly boned overbelt controls your diaphragm the way you’ve always wanted.” Eh? Call me Miss Picky, but I’d rather do that myself.
Also, check out the cloudy ammonia as a water softener! Who knew?

Seems we didn’t stay without corsets for long, now we have ‘body contouring’ instead….
