Corsets help woman achieve world's smallest waist
December 8, 2006 
A Connecticut woman who has worn a corset every day for the last 25 years officially has the world's smallest waist.
Cathie Jung from Old Mystic, Connecticut, has worn one of her 100 corsets every day for the last 12 years, and now even wears one while sleeping.
Her waist measures an incredible 15 inches in circumference, equivalent to the size of large bottle of coke, putting her in the Guinness Book of Records for the world's smallest waistline.
She has also recently appeared on the Tyra Banks show in the US for an 'Extreme Fashion' episode to talk about her love affair with the corset, turning up on stage in one of her fabulous corsets complete with stockings and suspender belt
Her husband Bob Jung also appeared on the show and even produced an x-ray of her torso.
Although it revealed her organs had repositioned themselves, Mr Jung, an orthopaedic surgeon, claimed that regular use of a corset harmed neither the organs or the body as a whole.
