the most perfect corset will lose its natural lines of beauty when pulled and distorted by being wrongly put on. The Spirella corset is sent you with complete instructions for putting it on properly. Thus you secure the best fit, the greatest comfort, the longest wear and complete satisfaction.


The Wonderful Spirella Boning

Consider how simple the patented Spirella boning is—merely a piece of finely tempered wire bent in a special shape. However, the manner in which it is bent gives wonderful qualities to the wire. It is exceedingly springy and perfectly flexible. It bends backwards, forwards and sideways. It may even be tied into a knot. Yet each time it returns to its original position and shape when released. This is why when you take your Spirella corset off it has the same fine lines it had the day it was first put on. It keeps its shape as long as the most durable material lasts—and in Spirella corsets the very best material of its grade is used. It does not take a permanent bend at the waist line. It will not rust with perspiration, nor will proper laundering harm it, therefore it may be kept as fresh and clean as other under garments. If a Spirella stay rusts or breaks in one year of corset wear, we will give you a new corset exactly like your old one, absolutely free of charge.


Comfort a Surprise

It is this flexibility that makes Spirella corsets a revelation in comfort to those who wear them. It gives unrestricted freedom of movement. The tasks of the household are performed with ease and comfort. Bending over to sweep, to dust, to make the beds, or to care for the wants of the children is done as easily as though you had no corset on. The pleasures of outdoor life, tennis, golfing, canoeing, horseback riding may be indulged freely, as Spirella corsets give almost uncorseted freedom of movement. Spirella is the one corset that combines comfort with style.


Support Without Restraint

Corset boning is not the main factor in supporting the flesh. It is the cloth that holds the flesh in place. The honing acts mainly to keep the cloth stretched and free from wrinkles. This will be welcome news to many women who have cased themselves in heavy, steel jackets under the mistaken idea that only thus could they give themselves a good figure. To these, the lightness of Spirella boning will give a wonderful relief. In its extreme flexibility it yields with every movement of the body without pressure that hurts. It is cool because of its open, ventilative construction. Yet with all its comfort, it furnishes adequate support to the garment for any figure. It makes the corset keep its shape, and thus with a gentle persuading power moulds the figure of the wearer into proper lines.


Recommended by Physicians

It is seldom that physicians recommend a corset, but such is the distinction enjoyed by Spirella. They endorse it because it does not compress the abdominal organs injuriously; does not hinder digestion, or interfere with proper breathing, and does not hold the body incased in a jacket of stiff steel, which dwarfs the muscles of the sides and back. Instead of pressing down on the abdomen it acts as a comfortable support. They recognize that the flexibility of the wonderful Spirella boning allows freedom of action to muscles, and consequently helps development.
