“ The smaller hip development requires the selec-
tion of a larger waist size. While style 223 has wide adaptability
to normal 20-type, it is especially adapted to the correction of
kangaroo poise and cut-in waist when found in this type. The com-
pression afforded by the lacing over the back of the hips combined
with the small hip development of the corset and the length of
clasp below results in a correction of the slant of the pelvic girdle,
tilting it downward in the back and upward in the front. ”

“ Prolapsed abdominal organs are replaced through abdominal
control and uplift furnished by the compression. Following ab-
dominal operations, all front-laced corsets, through the location of
their lacing, adapt to adjustment in reclining position. ”

“ The many fashion awards
attest the superiority of Spirella from the standpoint of style.

Before beginning a study of the corsets, turn to the "Explana-
tion of the Abbreviations and Terms", on pages 86 to 89.
Read
these pages carefully, as this knowledge will make it easier for you
to understand the information given and is necessary to read the
printed matter intelligently.

For instance: on page 86 you are told that the series or style
number indicates the type of figure for which the corset is designed
and. ”

“ It
is better not to use this series in sizes larger than 26.
Larger sizes
might take it into another type and it would not perform the func-
tions for which it was designed. A smaller size than 18 would not
be practical.
14. "Measurements" and the abbreviations used in connection
with them, are explained an pages 88 and 89. In the 221 series
there are three corsets, the measurements of which vary. There
are four measurements which, if memorized, give you a mental pic-
ture of each corset. These are DEVELOPMENT, CENTER BUST,
CLASP BELOW AND BACK BELOW.
