The Completa bust bodice was a garment for supporting the bust, sold under a brand name and promoted in print by the firm Weeks & Co. Advertisements like this one were common in the decades when women's undergarments were moving away from the full corset toward lighter, separate supports for the bust. Such ads usually pitched comfort, a smooth line under fashionable clothing, and a modern, hygienic fit. Looking closely at the wording and drawing, you can see how manufacturers sold intimate clothing to a broad public through magazines and newspapers.
