The perfect woman body shape has constantly evolved throughout history.\r
\r
In the 18th century, women would wear corsets to compress their waists and wire structures under their dresses to widen their hips. In the middle of the 19th century, curvy women were seen as beautiful and they didnt price sports. In 1900, corsets got a bit more comfortable but a large bust was still appreciated. In the 1920s, women rejected corsets. They made their chests look flat and hid their waists behind boxy clothes to reach a boyish silhouette. After the war, their went back to looking feminine and loved the New Look brought by Christian Dior. Instead of a corset, they wore bras. In the 1960s, a more androgynous silhouette appeared and women started to wear pants. The 90s saw the rise of extremely thin models like Kate Moss, who changed the beauty ideal. In the news, curves are back in trend but with a flat belly and a thigh gap. So celebrities like Kim Kardashian dont hesitate to use surgery and wear corsets in order to get the ideal body.\r
