They Need Our Help Still

Of course, it was a man who invented women’s safest weapon, the girdle. A man modeled and formed the first female "shell" . And men are still in the forefront when it comes to helping women show of their forms off to their advantage, or help them hide them.

 

A strapless in laces and silk elastics. Black elastic girdle. The chantilly lace at the front is lined with beige perlon taft. Elegant girdle in black nylon laces on pink perlon taft. This is how it was done in the old days.

Elegant princess line girdle. Black chantilly lace on white perlon duchesse. Strapless in tulle elastics and french laces on pink perlon taft. The zipper is in the front so any woman can don this girdle without a man’s help. And this is how it looks to day. From the Norwegian magazine "Norsk Dameblad" No 21 – May 20th 1959
