An instructional booklet on how to make corsets, issued as part four in a series by the Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts & Sciences Inc. Includes directions on the following subjects: corset selection; wear and care; accessories; drafting; and "close-fitting patterns for figures out of proportion". Includes a set of examination questions in the back. Single vol. (8.75" by 6"), pp. 28, [2], illus., in original printed blue wrps. Accompanied by large 36" by 27" printed corset pattern ("Plate VI-- Tight-Fitting Foundation-Waist Draft Two-Piece Draft"). "Corsets have much to do with the appearance of the women who wear them and also with their comfort and discomfort and, consequently, their disposition, for it can be truly said that corsets that fit properly are the next thing to a blessing, whereas ill-fitting corsets can provide as much food for ill temper as can any other one thing" (p.[1]). Very good. A couple nicks, wear to wrappers/ a couple tears from staples. Toning/sunning.
