Description
This book with linen-covered boards in a plastic comb binding promotes the wearing of girdles and bras for better posture and appearance. Contents include a page with a jointed female figure and a die-cut slot so that moving a grommeted disc changes the joints of her body, shoulder, waist, hip, knee, and ankle, altering her posture. The type of resulting posture, lordotic, erect, or fatigued, is listed in the slot. An interactive advertisement that demonstrates the need for the product. Samples of the fabrics are included.
