Description
This slide is another used in the educational training series for Berlei fitters. It compares the tight-laced corsets of the early 1900s with the modern foundation garments of the 1930s. Diagram 1 caption reads: '1902. Natural breathing of lung prevented owing to lower section being congested by tight corset. Lower ribs cramped preventing organs functioning.' Diagram 2 caption reads: 'Lungs allowed full breathing capacity. Ribs and breast bone in correct position.'
