He wasn't always the Great Showman. In fact, Phineas Taylor Barnum grew up in relative poverty with only his wits to help him along. When his father died, the fifteen-year-old boy entered the working world as a shopkeeper's assistant. In leaps and bounds, he worked his way from assistant to shop owner, lottery office owner, and eventually, entertainment promoter. The bulk of his career was focused on his beloved American Museum, where thousands of ticket-holders flocked every day to look at the human oddities, stuffed animals, live whale, and American memorabilia. In the Barnum and Bailey Circus, we see the culmination of the renowned man's life's work. Some of the topics covered in this book include:
The Inn-Keeper's Son
Lottery Mania
The Herald of Freedom
Leasing Joice Heth
Barnum's American Museum

It has the corset strings , a zipper on the side and easy to put on I’m 5’6 and 140pounds . I just wish the straps were adjustable but it’s not that bad over all 8/10.
I really like this dress. The pink is prettier than in the photo. I ordered from the size description but it is too big unfortunately very loose around under arms. Quality is good but a little see through
