waspie

Meanwhile, some women adopted the corset once again, now called the "waspie" for the wasp-shaped waistline it gave the wearer.

Called the "waspie" or "guepiere", it became the quintessential undergarment of the "New Look".

On the left side was a white waspie basque complete with suspenders, mounted on the sort of cloth dummy dress makers use.

The Big East was founded in 1993 from the merger of the Waspie Conference and the Mid-East Conference.

There was a brief revival of the corset in the late 1940s and early 1950s, in the form of the waist cincher sometimes called a "waspie".

A pale pink satin Waspie, for instance, might have a flounce of ruffle around the bottom or a panel of lace across the bust ($175 to $350).

A waist cincher (sometimes referred to as a Waspie) is a belt worn around the waist to make the wearer's waist physically smaller, or to create the illusion of being smaller.

As soon as she disappeared another girl, white this time and blonde, strode out on to the dais wearing the waspie basque Stephanie had seen in the window downstairs, except in a stunning flame red.
