	Yep,thats right,this is the occupation of a relative on 1901 census.If anyone has any bright ideas as to what it is I would greatly appreciate.I did think it may be a corset maker but I really don't want to spend any more money on 1901 images than I have to!

	"corsage maker" has a modern meaning (put it into Google with the quotation marks)
