Exploring the customs of "waist waist" in the European world is more cruel than foot binding. The thinnest waist is only 20 centimeters
Since ancient times, whether Chinese or Western, the waist has always been one of the key parts for women to highlight their exquisite curves and beauty. In the 19th century, a "slender waist" trend swept across Europe. European women at that time believed that only with a thinner waist could they sway when walking, and could also show the beauty of their breasts and buttocks. Therefore,"the thinner the waist, the better" became the supreme aesthetic standard for women at that time. In order to create the ultimate waist, one kind of cruel waist binding tools were also born, creating one after another of "cruel beauty".
Illegal history says that waist waist originated in the court. At that time, Queen Josephine of France was pregnant in an affair. In order to conceal her eyes, she wrapped a cloth around her abdomen, which actually had the effect of raising her breasts. With the fashionable low-cut clothes, the breasts were clearly visible. It became a trend for a while. Men believe that girdling creates a vulgar image, just to arouse obscenity and lasciousness, while women believe that it makes it easier to display jewelry. On the eve of the advent of bras, upper-class women still suffered from the oppression of wooden slats, whale bones and leather girdles. If they dared to take off the girdles and loose their posture, they would be considered morally sad. Working-class women and farm women could not afford expensive tunics and hinder work. Cheap small tunics were also born with straps on the chest and no need for the help of servants. At that time, the upper class had the absolute advantage of setting the trend. Although the inventor of the bra, Paul Polly, served aristocrats, his wife, who had taken off her waist, was only regarded as a shocking ultra-fashionable person, and few people imitated it.
Watering is a specific aesthetic concept developed by people during a specific period of time, but this aesthetic concept, like foot binding in ancient China, has irreversible consequences. The waist waist provides women with a "second skeleton", helping them create a posture that conforms to the requirements of the times and status. French corsets feature a whale bone, wood, elephant tooth, animal horn or metal brace in the middle to maintain its straight. This has been the design principle of plastic underwear for hundreds of years. The supporting bones are mostly made by professional craftsmen and engraved with love poems. They are themselves the object of male love and are also sung in boudoir poems and popular drama. If a woman pulls out the braces of her bra and draws them in her hands, it will be regarded as frivolous and bold flirting.
And Dior also said: "If there were no molded underwear, there would be no clothing industry." The so-called molded underwear includes tights, bras, corsets, etc. It provides women with a "second skeleton" and helps them create a posture that conforms to the requirements of the times and status. In 19th century Europe, any dignified woman had to wear this kind of underwear. Women suffered from the oppression of wooden boards, whale bones and metal strips all day long. Critics ridicule this as "tying your waist to a whale bone prison" or "compressing your body into a cake, and soon after, even your breathing will stink", so it is extremely easy to contract lung disease!
Especially in the 19th century European aristocratic women had been bound in tight corsets day and night since they were young girls. They wore smaller sizes when parties, with plump breasts and slender waists. Temporary fainting was a common occurrence at parties. However, at that time, they were more favored by men, like Sister Lin in China, showing their delicate and weak side and giving men the urge to protect. Therefore, the history of corsets is also a witness to culture and aesthetics. The women suffer from the oppression of wooden boards, whale bones and metal strips all day long. From under the breast to the stomach, women are willing to suffer. In order to have a slim figure, they bind tightly and bind tightly until long and deep cuts appear on both ribs, penetrating into the skin, and even die. There have also been many incidents of death due to girdling. The most typical scene is reflected in the movie. In "Gone with the Wind", the actress Scarlett grabbed the bedpost hard and asked the maid to help her tie her waist tighter.
The cruelest, longest and largest number of "punishment" in China's history is foot binding for women. There are many foot-binding attacks by foreigners on China. I used to see the elegance and luxury of European classical long dresses, but I didn't expect that this beautiful waist would be hard-won, and the graceful bee waist also reflects the same cruelty. Belting the waist will change a person's rib bones, and if the waist is too tight, it will kill people. A bride once held her funeral on her wedding day because of her girdle. This is the most extreme and typical example. This is the girdle that mutilates women in European history. The waist is more powerful than the foot binding. Foot binding breaks the bones of the toes, and then steps on them under the soles of your feet for a lifetime. The pain will kill you, but it won't kill you! However, girdling can kill people. Even if you don't use the tool "an iron skeleton" for girdling, there are still many people who die from malnutrition and anorexia just by diet and slimming down.
Catherine, the queen of King Henry II in French history, was originally short and plump Queen Catherine once put on an iron corset made by a makeup artist in order to defeat the fairy-beautiful third daughter Diana. Her waist reached an astonishing 40 centimeters. What is your waist now? However, Katrin's dream was 33 centimeters. In the end, Katrin gave birth to Henry II's first prince and secured the throne of Queen of the French court.
She is the most slender waist woman in the world. Her name is Kaji Zhanke, and she is currently the most slender waist woman in the world. Although he is 67 years old, his waist is only 20 centimeters. Before the age of 28, she had two children as a graphic model. Since then, she has maintained this waist record and is also very popular with her husband. But it is not that the thinner the waist, the better. Generally speaking, women with curved figures are more likely to get the attention of men. Most women have a waist-to-hip ratio between 0.7 and 1.0, and this ratio is between 0.7 and 0.8. Women are more attractive.
