Bollywood star Rasha Thadani caught everyone's attention at a recent event in Mumbai. She showed up in a stunning purple dress for a Nykaa makeup retailer event, but what really had people buzzing online was how slim her waist appeared in it.

Rasha Thadani's breathtaking new style

Rasha donned a sparkling purple dress featuring a cowl neckline and a flowing design. It included a corset that hugged her torso snugly, creating the illusion of a tiny waist. This style was a nod to the Victorian-Edwardian era, when having an '18-inch waist' was highly fashionable.

What was the trend of tiny waists in Victorian Era fashion?

During the Victorian and Edwardian periods (1837-1901 and 1901-1910), fashion celebrated extremely small waists, often achieved through the use of the "S-bend" corset. This design pushed the bust forward and the hips back, creating a dramatic silhouette known as the Wasp waist. Women strived for waistlines as tiny as 18-22 inches, which were seen as symbols of femininity and social standing. According to fashion designer Amelia Marie's blog, this ideal showcased the wealth of the women who wore it, as such constricting garments implied that they didn’t need to work. However, as societal roles evolved, this trend began to fade after 1910, giving way to more practical and comfortable styles.

It seems Rasha has successfully captured this concept in a contemporary design.

What was the fans' reaction?

Fans of the young actor were completely impressed, with some even hoping to attain a figure like hers one day. One fan commented, “I want this figure.” Another shared, “I always wonder if I could breathe in a corset.” Someone else chimed in with, “Looking gorgeous, dear Rasha Thadani.” A curious fan questioned, “Why does her waist look so slim? Is it from working out or a tummy tucker?
