Indeed I do. And I remember winter mornings so cold that my little fingers
couldn't fasten the rubber buttons. Why were there so many? And why were
they called *liberty* bodices when they were so binding?


I thought it was because they were a lot less binding than the corsets
they replaced?


Did children wear corsets in the thirties?
