Isn't it weird ? I wonder who preferred the slimmed versions? They look abstruse to me, somewhat twisted, not quite right. However, it is true that today's women are struggling to get their bodies into shapes of quite unnatural form. But, saying this and thinking of those women depicted in their original shapes, just think what they were looking like when dressed again. Squeezed into corsets of whalebone. I think it is truly a human thing. Even the ancient Egyptians were deforming their bodies for cosmetic reasons. Just think of those deformed skulls from bandaging, or the Chinese women and their crippled feet. We were, are and always will be nutters!
