Type 8

Very fleshy abdominally, bad poise. Corrected by styles 136, 137, 191, 192, 32, 33, 593, 594, 595, 793 and 794. [A front-laced corset is to be preferred for this figure.]


A front-laced corset should not be selected if there is excessive flesh in the back. The rule is front-laced for excessive front flesh, and back-laced for excessive back flesh. The well proportioned figure, without excessive flesh front or back, may wear either front-laced or back-laced models, as she chooses.
