I recently acquired a real treasure, a bound book of Vogue magazines from 1919. I am having a blast trying to choose which articles to use first. Its like being in a candy shop.
In the magazine issues, there are advertisements for rubber garments like chin straps, corsets, etc., that are to be worn to lose weight. I gathered the chin strap was worn at night. Has anyone heard of rubber garments used in this manner? Would women have worn these items under their everyday clothing? I imagine if they did it would be rather hot during the warm months... are is that how you were supposed to lose weight. Penny E.
