Adjustment of a front-laced corset in a reclining position
Proceed with adjustment in the standing position as far as the finish of the sixth step. [See pages 24 and 25.]
7. Lower corset to bring waist line of garment on true waist line of figure.
8. Have customer recline on a hard surface, with hips elevated by pillows, and knees bent. [See illustration.] This position relaxes the tension of the abdominal muscles and allows the force of gravity to bring the internal organs back to their proper positions.
Proceed from here as in the eighth step of adjustment in the standing position. [See page 26.]
