PHILIP]? GOLDSMITH, OF COVINGTON, KENTUCKY.

DOLL-BODY WITH CORSETS.

$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,248, dated December 15, 1885.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIPP GOLDSMITH, a resident of Oovington, in the county of Kenton and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Doll- Bodies with Corsets, of which the following is a specification. The nature and object of my invention will be apparent from the following specification. Figure 1 represents a doll-body embodying my invention. Fig. 2 shows the detached pieces which, when sewed together, form the front of the outer part of the doll-body. Fig. 3 shows the detached pieces which, when sewed together, form the rear part of the dollbody.

The pieces A and D are similar in shape, and when put together form the upper part of the body. The pieces B and E Fare likewise similar to each other in shape, and together constitute the corset and the middle portion of the body. Anteriorly the piece B does not reach the groins, which are indicated by the linec in Fig. 1. Posteriorly the piece E joins the piece F, which latter forms the bustle portion. The piece G completes the rump portion, and also makes the posterior portion for the legs. The piece 0, besides forming the front portion of the legs, also forms the lower portion of the abdomen. The pieces 0 and G reach only to the knees. The pieces B a'ndE are preferably of a different color from the other pieces, preferably a bright striking color. These pieces are preferably ornamented with edging or something similar, as shown at b, Fig. 1. A line of cross-stitches, 1), indicates the lacing of the corset.

In sewing or securing together the aforementioned pieces the preferable order is as follows: The pieces constituting the front portion of the doll-body are secured together. The pieces constituting the rear portion of the doll -body are secured together. The front and rear portions are then united at their outer edgesin the usual manner by sewing or other suitable means.

In providing doll-bodies with corsets it has heretofore been customary to stitch an extra corset over the already formed body. My improvement dispenses with this additional material of the corset and the additional labor required to make and put it on.

The various features of my invention are preferably used together; but one or more of said features may be used without the remainder, and when desired one or more of said features may, so far as applicable, be used in connection with doll-bodies other than the one herein specifically set forth.

WVhat I claim as new and of my invention,

and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1. A doll-body composed of a front portion composed of the upper piece, A, middle piece, B, and lower piece, 0, secured together, and a back portion composed of the upper piece, D, middle piece, E, rump-piece F, and lower portion, G, secured together, the said front and back portions being likewise secured together, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

2. A doll-body composed of a front portion consisting of the upper piece, A, middle piece, B, and lower piece, 0, secured together, and a back portion composed of the upper piece, D, middle piece, E, rump-piece F, and lower portion, G, secured together, the pieces Band E being made of a different colored material from the other parts, and the said front and back portions being secured together, substantially as and for the purposes described.

PHILIPP GOLDSMITH.
