Strictly speaking, this isn't quite to the topic, but, since there's another thread on corsets--there are some lovely corsets in SL. Just as ingenious people have found ways around the limits on avatar breast size, other ingenious people have found ways around the limits on avatar waist size in the other direction. Just to mention one, the House of Alisha has a lovely outfit with a corset that one can adjust to give one a waistline as small as one inch. (When I wear it, I stay at Mlle. Polaire's size, thirteen inches. Alas, prim breasts of the size I use kind of ruin the effect, so I don't wear it often.)
