Watch Airy Fairy Lillian Tries on Her New Corsets

A heavyset young woman asks for help in fitting into a new corset but it proves a challenge even for two assistants in this unattributed 1905 comic short from New York-based American Mutoscope and Biograph. The company was founded in 1895 originally to produce flip-card movies for mutoscope machines but soon started making films for projection in theaters as well.
