Ms. Darlin models a dressing sacque, all the undergarments and "figure modifiers," ball gown, cloak, and accessories.

Topics to be presented include care of the complexion, hairstyles and care, how the ideal body shape was achieved, the controversy over tightly laced corsets, and the use of make-up.
