It brought to mind that scene out of "Gone With the Wind", and a few others for that matter, where some poor woman is being compressed into some instrument of torture masquerading as a corset.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabrina_%28actress%29

...(born 19 May 1936), better known as Sabrina, was a 1950s English glamour model who progressed to a minor movie career. Her main claim to fame was her hourglass figure of prodigious breasts coupled with a tiny 17" waist. Sabrina had a natural waist-hip ratio of 0.47, from the waist measurement of 17" and her hips at 36" when she first started modelling, although she deliberately filled out in later years when advised by several model agencies. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Sabrina was called "the British Jayne Mansfield".

The archetypal "hourglass" figure, then. The mother of a friend of mine from high school, who had a similar figure, although thickened out some through child birth and middle age, once told me that this build was also once known as having a "wasp waist".
