You, who may have found disappointment in front- laced corsets by being persuaded to buy one of many imitations of the Gossard Corset are specially invited to come now and learn by a trial fitting- what a perfect front-laced corset really is. It is practically impossible to corectly adjust a long-, back lacing- corsets, whereas the longest front-laced Gossard Corset is adjusted with ease and accuracy be fore your mirror. The tendency in fashions lies in low bust, straight hips flat back and all of these essentials are correctly embodied in 'tyAeyJfacc- JjJFront" Satisfaction is yours if you will fulfill your long made promise to yourself to try a Gossard fitting. Your excuse for changing from obsolete back lacing method was never so good as at the present time. The models were never so perfect. Wilcox Department Store
