In their quest to achieve the world's most envied body shape — the hourglass figure — international models, singers and actresses are turning into 'waist training' fanatics. But this bizarre regimen isn't about sweating it out at the gym or following a strict diet; it's all about wearing a tight corseted device, a la Jessica Rabbit that will shrink the waistline!
Hollywood actress Jessica Alba officially kicked off the craze a while back when she wore a double corset for three months, post pregnancy, to get her body back in shape. The fad has now extended to women who want to get a slim waistline within a short period of time. While waist cinching might be the fastest way to achieve an impossibly tiny figure, it is a temporary phenomenon.
Dr Hitesh Kubadia, a Mumbai-based surgeon, says, "Waist training works mainly by rearranging the body fat around the waist to different parts of the body. Also, the corset causes sweating, which is basically loss of body water. Over a longer period of time, it can cause a shift in organs, especially the stomach and liver." If the corset doesn't fit properly, it may also cause unnatural strain on the muscles, resulting in backaches and spasms. And if it is too tight, it could compress the lower ribs and limit the expansion of the lungs.
It's back in fashion too
The corset, which was a 19th century Victorian fashion staple, has been catapulted back on the ramps. The revival of this garment was one of the most surprising trends to emerge from the autumn/winter fashion shows in Paris recently. Sometimes, it looked very similar to its 19th century forerunners, complete with stiff boning. Elsewhere, it appeared in entirely fresh, modern guises on the ramp.
Corset controversy in film
A few weeks ago, actress Lily James received flak from filmgoers for her tiny waist in the recently-released film Cinderella. While critics said digital trickery had been used to alter her waistline, the actress clarified that it was real and she had achieved the look by wearing a 'training corset' beneath her costumes for hours at end.
