If you look at pictures of classsic beautifes of the age, you will see that they have much fuller figures than today's beauties (though waists would be nipped in by corsets). However, after WW1, the ideal became a thin, flat-chested girl. women with full breasts bound them to make them flat. Dieting became popular, and smoking was recommended as a substitute for eating. The slogan of one cigarette company was 'Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet.' In the 1930s, a curvier figure became popular, though not as substantial as the pre-WW1 girls.<br><b>References : </b><br> Around the turn of the century, substantial beauties were still admired.
