There used to be a place on Cape Hill Nan called the corset shop (mid 1950's) I think it was called Mayer's. The corsets were all heavily laced and had hooks and eyes too, with huge suspenders and done in a very strange salmon-pink. She caled her bra a bust-bodice, (and wore a vest underneath.) There were loads of hooks and eyes on that too.
