Subject
Lingerie
Description
This backhanded compliment to the consumer appears across the top of an advertisement for nylon tricot slips. Like many other advertisements in this issue of Ladies Home Journal, the ad notes a distinction between public and private, with the statement, “It’s so nice to lead a lacy private life.” Wearing only a Van Raalte slip, the woman in the advertisement strikes an odd pose likely intended to accentuate her slender shape.
