Waistlines are, for the most part, small, delicate and almost fragile. This is achieved in one or several ways, with a boned corset type bodice, fullness in skirts and sleeves which tends to minimize the waistline simply by distributing material elsewhere in contrast to the waist, as well as small jackets which leave the waistline uncluttered. .
