Not many girls about these days with waists like that

They wore very tight corsets Scaramouch and that's why the women were always fainting. But on the other hand evolution seems to have the effect these days of girls appearing to be more straight almost boyish. In the fifties women had smaller waists - hence the nipped in waists of the fashions of that period.
