[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am involved in the dance world.

I am calling BS on all these middle aged women with children claiming 26" waists.

A 26" waist would be on the smaller size for a teenage dancer dancing 10-20 hours per week.

The only middle aged womem with that waist size are going to be a handful of asian women, and I cannot believe that there are this many tiny middle aged asian women with children posting in the dcum fashion forum today.[/quote]

26 is pretty small.  But 27-29 is a pretty normal range for a woman of any age that works out and is in good shape. [/quote]

There are myltiple people here posting 25 and 26" waists as middle aged women.

I am sorry, but I don't believe that based on the extensive work I do with measurements of very fit and active people.

Even 27" is [i]very[/i] skinny for a middle aged women.  27" would be an average waist measurement for a fit athletic teen girl.

A few women with those measurements? Sure.

But most of the posters on this thread being 25/26/27"?  Not possible. [/quote]

What work do you do?[/quote]

Dance teacher.

I regularly measure hundreds of dancers every year for their costumes for decades.

I know womens measurements, and I have eyes.  I also measure adult dancers each year.  There is no way that all these middle aged and menopausal women have 25 and 26 in waists.  Most of them probably don't own a measuring tape and are guessing.  Or they are using a ribbon then putting it against a ruler or tape measure, which is incredibly inaccurate.[/quote]
Where, exactly, should women measure?[/quote]

I am not saying what women should measure in their waist.

I am commenting on what they do measure.

A 25" or 26" waist for a middle aged or menopausal woman is exceedingly rare.

A 25" waist is uncommon for very fit teen girls who are exercising hours per week.  Dancers are usually very thin and 25" waists are not common with them.  Zero chance that they are as common as the middle aged, post childbirth, menopausal or pre menopausal women in this thread claim.

Most of these posts are lying.[/quote]

I do think it’s useful to understand where you are measuring. Natural waistline? Belly button? My natural waistline sits a couple inches higher than my belly button. [/quote]

If you stood straight and bent right only at the torso, the bend is where you measure [/quote]
