METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CORSETS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 3tl,869, dated May 18,1886.

Application filed December 30, 1885. Serial No. 187,096. (No model.)

Be it known that I, BYRON BALDWIN, a citi- ,My invention has for its object to produce Figure l is a perspective of one-half of a A is the body-section, B the under arinsec- E indicates eyelet-holes at the back, and F The peculiarity of my invention is that I make the entire corset of a specially-made The fleece is produced It will of course be understood that my in- In the final finishing of the corsetthat is,

For convenience in description, I have indicated the smooth side of the fabric by a in the drawings, and the fleeced side by b. In starching the corsets are stretched upon tables, and great care is taken that the starch shall not penetrate the fabric. After starching the corset is ironed and polished upon the tables in the usual manner. The result is that I produce a thoroughly-stiffened and beautifullyfinished corset upon the outer side without in any manner injuring or affecting the heavy fleece or nap vupon the back of the fabric, which has now become the inner side of the corset. I thus wholly avoid the harshness and roughness of all lined or unlined stitched corsets now upon the market, and combine in a si'nr ple and inexpensive corset the advantages of construction peculiar to stitched corsets, and produce at the same time a much softer and pleasanter corset to wear than the finest woven or lined corset.

There has been for some time a demand for a low-priced corset that could be worn next to the person with perfect comfort to the wearer. This requirement is not met by any corset now known to the trade.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim The method hereinbefore described of manufacturing corsets, the said method consisting in forming the corsets of properly-shaped sec tions of fabric having a soft nap or fleece on its inner side, starching or otherwise artificially stiffening the outer surfaces only of the corsets, and then ironing the said outer sur Vitnesses:
