For most of us, a slender waist is the product of a careful diet and plenty of exercise. But not for Michele Kobke, 24. The Berliner has shrunk her waist from 64cm (25 inches) to just 40cm (16 inches) by wearing a corset every day for three years – even while sleeping. And despite now having a waist smaller than most catwalk model‘s, the German slimmer says she hopes to whittle her waist down to a shocking 38cm or 14 inches wide.
Tiny though Kobke’s waist is, the record for the world’s tiniest midriff is held by another – American Cathie Jung, whose waist measures just 38cm. By comparison, the average British woman has a waist that measures 84.9cm (33.43 inches) – equivalent to a dress size 14.
