How to Spoil a Frock JT IS THE EASIEST THING in the world to spoil the appearance of a Frock. The material may be of the best, and the Frock may be very smartly cut. but unless the wearer has had the wisdom to lie properly corseted the Frock cannot be worn to the best advantage. In recent years very important developments have taken place in regard to correct corseting by a scientific study of * the human figure. The pioneers in this respect have been the Berlei Corset Company, and it says a great deal for New Zealand enter t prise that a local companv should have / been responsible for such advancement in scientific method Under the Berlei system of Corseting a close study of the figure has been made by taking the measurements of thousands of women throughout New Zealand and Australia. The result of this research has been the important dis coverv that women are divided into five figure types,—Big Hips. Sway Back, Big Abdomen. Average. and Short Below Waist. On this information Berlei have evolved a method whereby it can easily be determined w f hat type any person is. Thus the fitting of a C orset is removed from the oldfashioned guess work method to one of scientific accuracy. This treatment of foundation garments, with the important bearing it has on the appearance of a Frock, has given great popularity to Berlei Corsets. At Hay’s Limited, in Glouceser Street, full stocks of Berlei Corsets are carried, and an expert fitter is on the Staff. Any lady in search of information regarding Corsets can consult Hay’s expert without any obligation to buy. 1623 Y^OUR X. A D I E 8 ! OWN HEADS REMOUNTED AND RESTRUNG.
