E-house, Okay...but I will give you grace! so you can be the model today! There is no way I can get shorter.
Mentioning artificial enhancements...at this moment I am putting slides online of a beautiful bodice from 1895-1897. It has built-in bust enhancements. The descriptions are not there at this moment but go to www.costumeslideshows.com and click on the VCU slideshow for 1890s ladies' fashions. The first bodice, slides 17-19 show the enhancements. I just loaded this bodice's photos and in the process of numbering them. These are not really shields for under the arms, but go across the bustline. They are heavily padded. The passwords to the site for the free weekend are: Login: cg2003 Password: ccr6972 I also have photos from the VCU collection of a beautiful early 1960s evening gown with enhancements made in the bust. It will be awhile before I have it online. The dress is very Marilyn Monroe skin tight style.
