About A Waist, My Quest to 23"

    This mostly pertains to my most recent post (just below) about the measurements of many celebrities of yesteryear.


    My closest measurement/height double is Vivien Leigh, but trust me I'm still quite a few inches off here and there. (She's slightly taller with a 23" waist) I tried to do some research on how women had such small waists (exact exercises) and I could not find much information. However, one lovely reader { Principita de Porcelana } was kind enough to point out that many women back then were used to being corseted as were their mothers and their grandmothers so their waists were "better formed" so to speak.

    So (please hold the laughter because I'm a little embarrassed to admit this) I went and bought one of those elastic waist bands. My mother swears by them and she's nearly 49 with a 25" waist. So, it must be working, right?

    Is it comfortable? Not really. But it's not terrible. In fact it was all right before I had dinner. I've noticed how straight I've been sitting all day though. So I'm trimming my waist and improving my posture. 2 in 1, hooray!

Palette of Pastels

    With Easter Sunday right around the corner, it makes me think of cute little dresses and Easter Bonnets. Getting all dolled up for church and Easter Sunday Dinner is a tradition. As we get older, most loose the bonnet and some unfortunately hold on to theirs. Pastel colors were the colors of choice and the mellow/pale yellow is still my fave till this day. Many of the Spring 2010 collections featured a palette of pastels. Designers sent down a mix of colors like a pack of Smoothie Mix Skittles and it was lovely. Here are a few of my favorite looks from style.com below, which is your favorite?

How They Measured Up: Measurements of Vintage Hollywood's Leading Ladies


    My ideal female form are the figures of women in the 1940s and 1950s. On the thinner side, I adored Audrey Hepburn for her gamine appearance, but there is nothing quite like a bombshell figure, no?

    How did women stay so slender back then without looking sickly skinny? I wonder why they did not have that "I need a sandwich, like now!" look as popularized by many celebrities these days. Brigitte Bardot had a 19" waist, NINETEEN! Instead they look wonderfully feminine and soft.

    { Measurements of Vintage Hollywood's Leading Ladies }

    Rita Hayworth || 36.5C - 24 - 36
    Sophia Loren || 38C - 24 - 38
    Betty Grable || 36 - 24 - 35
    Vivien Leigh || 32A - 23 - 33
    Audrey Hepburn || 34A - 20 - 34
    Marilyn Monroe || 36 - 23 37
    Veronica Lake || 34 - 21 - 33
    Ava Gardner || 36 -23 -37
    Brigitte Bardot || 35.5 - 19 - 35
    Elizabeth Taylor || 36C - 21 - 36


    { Veronica Lake - 21" waist }


    { Rita Hayworth - 24" waist }


    { Betty Grable - 24" waist and the most perfect legs in Hollywood }
