Description
Several pictures in black and white that show that the Elastic and Zippers in Corsets are going out and being replaced with Laces. There are pictures showing a lady cinching laces on the front, on the side and on the back of her corset. The text explains that though these are more comfortable than the older styles, their presence is made responsible by the War Production Board so that elastic and zippers can be used in the war effort.
