Torture devices! Stay away!

Jane Grey, of Cheshire, was attending the annual Children’s Ball Sunday afternoon when she fainted. We have reason to believe this was because of the tightness of her corset. It was later found that the corset had cracked 3 of her lower ribs.

"Everyone was dancing to the flute when Jane collapsed in the middle of the ball room!" Katherine Cox, a bystander, frantically stated.

Join us for a week long, ‘Anti-Corset’ march. Monday August 21st- Monday August 28th. As well this Saturday we will be burning corsets. Hope to see you there. Don’t forget to bring your torture devices.
