Quote #10
Mary Chivers was as tall and fair as her mother, but large-waisted, flat-chested and slightly slouching, as the later fashion required. Mary Chivers's mighty feats of athleticism could not have been performed with the twenty-inch waist that May Archer's azure sash so easily spanned. (34.15)
Sorry, but a twenty inch waist? Just to compare: the smallest size Gap offers in women's jeans is a size 00 —a 23-inch waist.
