A rectangular glass bottle with a rounded top. The white plastic screw top is wrapped in a fabric bow. Dark brown text on the front of the bottle reads, “Ardena / Velva Leg Film / Water Resistant / Bronze / Elizabeth Arden.” The same color text on the back of the bottle reads, “Directions / First be sure legs are hair-free. Sleek is used for this purpose. Shake bottle well. Pour small quantity in cupped hand. Use both hands, smoothing from foot upward until thoroughly dry. Then it is important to polish with Velva Leg-Film Buffer. Not to be applied immediately after removal of hair.”
