...ration them. In Palm Beach, where the Martha shop has had instant success with corselettes and camisoles, Co-Owner Lynn Manulis calls them "a very provocative above-the-table look." Joanne Stroud, professor of literature and psychology at the University of Dallas, bought two Saint Laurent corselettes. Her mother was shocked.
