9. Do any of your customers wear corsets at night?
Corsetière B: ''Yes, quite a few. Most ladies do so (they are nearly all quite young) wearing a riding or opera stay. I have, however, made stays especially for this purpose. A young lady customer who has a waist of 15 inches, told me the other day, that except during a short illness, for a change of linen, and the bath, she had worn corsets constantly for over three years. She showed me her bare figure, which was quite moulded to the shape of her corset.''
