When we did the miniseries "The Wedding" for Harpo productions here in  
Wilmington, there was a flashback scene to a 1920's Deb ball, for wealthy  
blacks. 
Many of the girls were "well set up". We made a bunch of bust binding  
thingies out of 8" wide elastic. It was rather study, eager to spring back to  
its 
smallest measurement. We cut a length about 3" smaller than bust size and  put 
hook and eye tape on each end.
 
The scene looked great, BTW, with all those dark skinned girls in their  
cream and white 20's dresses of lots of beaded chiffon, lace and  ribbons, with 
handkerchief hems. They all had huge corsages, mostly white  and peach flowers. 
The black men in tails. Looked  great!
