wasp-waisted
Hourglass-figured, extremely corseted
Wasp-waisted describes an extremely narrow waist, cinched tight like the middle segment of a wasp's body.
The term applies to people, clothing designed to create that silhouette, or objects with a similar pinched middle: a wasp-waisted corset, the wasp-waisted fuselage of the fighter jet.
