Tiny waists preferred
Before the medical advancements that made plastic surgery possible, the closest popular augmentation undertaken for beautification centered around a lady’s waist. Tiny was better, even if that mean constant binding and rib breaking in order to get your mid-section down to size. And though the whale bone corsets of the Victorian period have fallen out of favor, small waists are still fashionable in certain fetish and burlesque settings (and looks amazing on Dita Von Teese).
