fused with the deal classical figure.
THE fema.e form divine a become

You must remember" said Mr. Moo
1adden. that although the Venus dI
Medici is the perfect artistic figure. the
modern woman has a smaller waist and
a larger bust. The long wearing OF
corsets generation after generation has
left its mark on the female form.
