Dorothy Chase the Designer, Radio Shill and her Figure Perfection 1930







In the early 1930's Dorothy Chase was stylist for a corset company, a designer, a radio personality and creator of a striking figure analysis chart shown in part here. Her chart "illustrate(s) the obstacles to figure perfection most frequently encountered by the average woman." Personally, I think they are all perfect already.

Shown:

Faulty Posture
Full Bust
Pendulous Abdomen
Prominent Lower Back
Broad Hips
Fallen Bust

Not shown:
Average Figure
Slender Hips
Round Abdomen
High Busted
Low Busted
Prominent Hip Bones
Fleshy Shoulder Blades
High Prominent Abdomen
Fleshy Through Waistline
Heavy Thigh Flesh
