narrow waist
Slender torso center
A narrow waist is the midsection of a body or object that tapers inward relative to what's above and below it.
In human anatomy, it describes the area between ribs and hips, often emphasized in fashion or fitness: She cinched her belt to accentuate her narrow waist.
The term extends to objects with similar proportions—an hourglass, a wasp, a violin.
