Comments Kabo Corset Co., the name speaks for itself. This is one of the longest running control patterns. Starting in September 1911 and last known in March of 1914. Several un-explained gaps in cover dates, one over 1 year, suggest the company may have experienced financial problems from time to time. More recent history had the company mass producing Playboy Bunny outfits for Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Clubs. The laced corset shrunk waist size by 2 inches.
