WAIST

For Women:
Waist is the most dominant in all the body silhouette. Small waist is beautiful and perfect. Unlike the bust, waist is the easiest part of the body to correct. By proper exercise and gym workout, you may have a very good chance of making look small. Wearing a belt if you have a waist problem can finish the look, but watch out for these camouflage effects.

For Men:
Small waist is not beautiful and perfect. By proper exercise and gym workout, you may have a very good chance of making a masculine look proportioned to your body. Wearing a belt if you have a waist problem can finish the look, but watch out for these camouflage effects.
