Seems like I recall seeing the ladies in old movies holding onto something while being "cinched up". Could what they were hold be something like what is called a "valet" nowadays?

Golden Uni for Ken......

Ken got with with "fainting couch". They were a fashion piece but said to be used when tight corsetted ladies could not breath enough and felt faint.
