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?

No idea, wasn't around then!

But the Liberty bodice seems to date from 1908
