[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 9602216, member: 360"]Waists for women were generally a lot smaller back then. My grandmothers' and great-grandmothers' nyonya belts are all 30 inches and under. And when you consider that you'd need 2-3 inches of belt for overlap (for buckling purposes) and you realise their waists were closer to 24-28 inches...it's really amazing how tiny they were. I mean, my grandmother was not a large woman by any means - she was probably 5'2", but they really were TINY back then.[/QUOTE]
