The ad copy for this Warner's Perfection Waists read, "Buttons fastned with tapes. Buttonholes
bound with tape. Sizes 19 to 27 inches. Made of a fine quality sateen;
pliable garment; reinforced with cords extending over the arms and
double bands around the waist. It may be buttoned either in front or
at the back, as preferred. White and drab [a grayish, off-white,
color]. $2.40 per dozen." This waist (which buttons down the back or front according to choice)
is suitable for both boys and girls. Boys would probably prefer the
front-buttoned style. The sizes are obviously chest sizes, which means
that it would fit children of both genders from about 2 to 12 years
old. It has two rows of buttons in front, on the sides, and in back.
The bottom buttons on the sides are for attaching supporters for long
stockings. The other buttons are for skirts, trousers, or additional
underwear.
