APPAREL-CORSET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of -.iietters Patent No. 657,237, dated September 4, 1900.
Application filed January 19, 1900. Serial No. 2,012. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES GUILLOT, of 13 Rue Lafiitte, in thefcity of Paris, Republic of France, have invented a Ladys Garment with Bodice in Place of the Ordinary Corset and Bodies-Lining, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to a garment with bodice to be worn by ladies in place of the ordinarycorset,bodice-lining,andorthopoedic belt. From a medical point of view this bodice possesses the advantage (by reason of its length and its novel arrangement) of supporting the abdomen and the intestinal organs, and the wearer feels at ease, just as a lady would do when divested of her corset. One of its principal peculiarities is that it completely prevents any obvious protrusion of the abdomen, diminishes the apparent size of the hips, and rounds the figure to an extent hitherto una-ttained, whereby great elegance and supplcness are given to the female body. On the other hand, with this bodice serving as a lining of the body of the robe, the breasts are located above the stiffened or boned part, and consequently are not compressed, and therefore entirely preserve their firmness. This bodice, which can be sold separately from the robe, can be worn with any description of costume and advantageously replace the usual corset and the orthopoedic belt, which generally cause suffering to women. To this end, in order to support the breasts and not compress them, Icut away the part above the stiffened or boned part and apply thereto a strip of lace, which supports the breasts when it is desired to make use of the said bodice with any description of ready-made costume.
With a View to making my invention clearly understood I will describe the same by reference to the drawings annexed to this specification, and in which- Figure 1 represents a schematic view of a gown, the lining of bodice being shown in the dotted lines. Fig. 2 represents the bodice-lining independent of the gown, the lining being cut out above the boned part and replaced by the strips of lace a, propping up the breasts when it is desired to 5 make use of the said bodice with any readymade costume.
The said bodice B, the material forming the back of which is out slanting, so as to allow it to easily follow the movements of the body, consists only of twelve bones b-four in the back, four in the front, and two on each side. It is provided with a double lacing c 0, adjusted on the front plaits. It is fastened by means of straight busk g, slightly bent at its lower part, which, in combination with the strip (1, helps to lessen the obvious size of the hips, allowing at the same time to support the abdomen, the side pieces 6 being arranged in such a manner as to draw in the waist in front. So that the garment thus made up or the bodice used independently of the gown A should have no tendency to work up, the straps fare added and fastened to the edge of the bodice. It will be seen that there is no opening in the back of this bodice, the back and sides being continuous. The front is in two parts, as shown, each part being provided with one part of a busk for fastening them together. Between each part of the front and the adjacent side portion there is a row of lacing, running from close to the lower end of the busk up to a point near the upper end of one of the bones b.
The bodice, which is preferably made of silk or other light strong fabric, comes well down over the hips of the wearer and can be drawn tightly across the hips and abdomen by means of the lacing.
I claim- An improved bodice, composed of a back portion cut bias and provided with four bones, side portions continuous with the back portion and each provided with two bones, elliptical side pieces e below the side portions, strips 01 below the side pieces, adapted to be drawn tightly around the hips,one of the bones on each side running down across the piece 6 and strip at over the hips, a front portion made in'two parts each carrying one part of a busk extending down as low as the lower edge of the strip (1, and lacings extending continuously between the side portions and strips (Z and the adjacent part of the front portion, whereby the waist will be drawn inin front, the size of the hips lessened, the abdomen supported, and elegance and snppleness imparted to the figure of the wearer.
The foregoing specification of my ladys garment with bodice in place of the ordinary,
corset and bodice-lining, styled robe mysterieuse, signed by me this 9th day of January, 1900.
