In the 1950s it was common to have a waist 10 inches or more smaller than your hips, but even so, powermesh waist cinchers were extremely popular. Today, as our waistlines are bigger, they’re essential if you want to achieve that nipped in look made famous by Christian Dior’s 1947 New Look collection.

A waist nipping waspie was worn under every one of Dior’s New Look gowns. Made from powermesh it featured steel boning and corset style lacing at the back to severely shape the waist. Whilst our waist cinchers and waspies also contain spiral steel boning and are made from powermesh they’re also designed for comfort, gently yet noticeably pulling in your waist.
A waist cincher was an essential part of every woman’s lingerie collection in the 1950s and if you’re a fan of vintage fashion and hourglass shapes you’ll quickly find your waist cincher indispensable.
