Title
"Sportineze" corset by Stapley & Smith, 1923
Description
"Sportineze" corset by Stapley & Smith, 1923. This combined corselet and stocking suspender was described by the company as "an ideal garment for every kind of sport".

The shoulder straps are crossed over at the back and fasten at the front with a small button. Four adjustable suspenders are attached to the bottom of the garment.
