The thinnest waist in the world - beauty or horror?

In different countries and at different times the most beautiful part of the female body was considered to be hands and feet, and even the neck. However, it is the delicate waist that traditionally attracts the attention of men and causes the burning envy of women. Thin waist and lush hips have always been considered not only beautiful, but also served as a guarantee that the woman will bring her husband a lot of healthy children. However, gradually the theme of the offspring receded into the background, only aesthetic moments remained. The thinnest waist in the world - which girl does not attract such a title?

To find out who had the thinnest waist in the world without a corset is very difficult. In the nominations of the Guinness Book there is no such section, one can only remember celebrities. And then come to mind Lyudmila Gurchenko and Sophia Loren. At both the waist was about fifty centimeters, which is very beautiful, delightful, charming. They can not only envy, but also imitate, because neither one nor the other artificially their waistlines did not reduce, achieving the beauty of the figure by methods quite natural.

Well, if you list unnatural ways, then immediately recalled the famous accessory, many spoiled health, and some women even cost a life. A corset is a cage made of cloth and whalebone. In the century before last, it was spread everywhere and was hoping for any events: both for walks and games, sports meetings, riding in carriages and on horses, and for balls. It came to that the ladies wore corsets even during pregnancy. And all this for the title "the narrowest waist in the world".

Stunning fanaticism was justified - the corset emphasized the curves of the figure, reduced the waist, visually enlarged the chest and hips. Wore it from childhood, treating it as a normal part of the toilet. The narrowest waist in the world, as it was then believed, was with the Frenchwoman, the famous actress named Poler (in fact, her name was Emilia Maria Bouchot) - only 33 centimeters. She began performing in Paris in the music hall in the last decade of the 19th century, became an operetta and drama actress, acted in films and even wrote memoirs.

The lady who seized the title "the slimmest waist in the world" was Ethel Granger from the UK. Her husband was an ardent admirer of corsets and figures in the form of an hourglass. He insisted that his wife wear this pulling article. In just ten years, the lady managed to achieve a waist of 24 centimeters.

Well, the most famous lover of these cruel attributes of beauty was the "Queen of corsets" named Kathy Jung. Her waist - only 38 cm, and to achieve it was possible for thirty years of constant pulling the body. She takes off her corset for only half an hour a day. It must be said that she was not always this: at 28 she gave birth to two children and decided to listen to the wishes of her husband, who inclined her to wearing corsets. Now she has more than a hundred of these products, and the lady even got into the Guinness Book of Records.

Now the owner of the title "the thinnest waist in the world" for seventy years, but she continues to flaunt in corsets and reduce her waist. Of course, she has to sew clothes to order, because you can not find a suitable one in the store. However, to follow in the footsteps of Cathy or not, to solve each of the fair sex. In the end, the figure obtained after wearing the corset is specific and does not indicate good health.
