Notes
Content: Written on border: "June 1, 1919" Printed on border: "You don't pull it on over your head -- I should say not, for this is a Vanity Fair step-in! It's the snuggest, triggest little envelope chemise you ever saw. Not a snap nor button on it anywhere to come off or undone -- when you've 'stepped-in' you're in till you step out! It's open on each side from hip to knee." "The pettibocker needs no description -- its name tells the story. You think it's a frilly petticoat until you start to walk -- then the freedom of the knicker makes itself felt! And there you have it -- it's a petticoat and knicker combined." "Vanity Fair silk mills, Reading, Pa." Includes additional text.
Source note: Vogue. (New York : Condé-Nast Inc., 1892-).
