She's timeless, and such an inspiration. She still looks good! It's a great counter to all those people who say you have to gain weight as you get older.
Her waist uh, dying.
apparently her waist was just 19inchesDovima

Yes! No mercy for girls like Palvin, where there's weight gain.The most intriguing thing about these pictures is that, at that time, there was no photoshop! So it's all real. Love it. Thank you guys!

There was, however, airbrushing though! Photographs would be repainted after being developed. But I suppose it would be harder to repaint an actual photograph than to photoshop onscreen, so most airbrushing was minimal, to cover flaws, smooth out a waist or fat rolls (smooth out, not obliterate), add more eyelashes etc and not like photoshop which can totally alter a body's proportions!
I was scouring the internet after the above post gave me some inspiration, and I found a website with measurements for some of the 1950's models, including everyones fave Dovima! It's not totally comprehensive but it's a start.
They're pretty interesting measurements, you can really tell that the hourglass aesthetic ruled the decade.
