Here is a vintage invoice for a purchase of ½ dozen style 580P corsets and ½ dozen style 832P corsets on September 7, 1917. The purchase was made by Rosa A Agostini from the Royal Worcester Corset Co. In addition to Royal Worcester Corsets, the company also sold Bon Ton Corsets and Adjusto Corsets.

Sooooooooo glad we don’t use these anymore – can you imagine wearing it in this heat (we are upper 90s today) – no wonder women fainted so often. Goodness Gracious Me!
🙂 Elaine. I don’t know how they could stand to wear them, especially on hot days.
