The caption for the organs picture... "One natural and one deformed body." It seems to me that modern women that do that to their bodies would think of it as enhancing their appeal (at least in their own eyes), not deforming themselves. Furthermore, Wikipedia should be providing info, not passing judgments. So I think a more neutral caption may be in order. May I propose "one natural and one corseted body."

"With a modern hourglass corset, the stomach is over the waist. With a Victorian hourglass corset, the stomach is in the waistline."

What does this mean???

The modern 'hourglass corset is an invention of Fakir Musafar.^[1]

Neither the image nor the links prove that Victorian and modern corsets are constructed with the waistline in different places, which is also not something I've come across. I'm not sure why you're using pictures of an hourglass corset and an Edwardian corset to talk about this. --Cassidy Percoco (talk) 20:04, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
