PARISIAN CORSETS,
67, BOLD-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
199, REGENT-STREET, LONDON.
It4RS. DAWSON begs to return her most grateful tw-
ill. knowledgments to the Ladies of Liverpool and its
vicinity for the extensive patronage with which she has been
favoured during the last seven years, and in doing so she
trusts she may be permitted to advert to the decided superi-
ority of her CORSETS in conferring
flexibility and its consequent grace on the form, which, added
to the simplicity of their construction, (being without the
numberless seams so generally found in the common Corset,)
has long rendered them extensively patronised in the first
circles. It might, therefore, be superfluous to enlarge upon
their acknowledged merits ; but to Ladies who have not yet
made trial of them it may be requisite to observe that they
combine, in an eminent degree, entire exemption from pres-
sure, with that support so necessary to render the figure at
once unembarrassed and graceful. To Ladies of delicate
constitution, in some cases attended with irregular conforma-
tion, they have been pronounced by the most eminent of the
faculty as invaluable. The Corsets are manufactured by the
first London Workmen, and in the best English and French
material ; in the latter Mrs. Dawson flatters herself they will
be found, in point of durability, greatly superior to those
made in Paris, and, to meet the wishes of Ladies, she has
determined on selling the Single Coutie and Bason Corsets
at Parisian Prices.

N.B.—A choice assortment of French Patent Wove Stays.
