Women's Waists

 

As someone who has seen hemlines rise and fall, and figures change for far too many years, what seems to have disappeared is women's waists. Many of the women of my generation, including my wife, still have very defined waists, which obviously makes them more curvy. On the other hand, many of their daughters do not. Perhaps too much beer on the part of the younger generation!

The lack of waist probably explains why so many of the waisted women I know complain that the modern trend for low-waisted skirts and trousers means that nothing fits.
