In this Corsetbrief we direct your attention again to the queen of corset wearers, Cathie Jung of the U.S.A.
In february 2000 Cathie and her husband Bob were guests on a program broadcast in the USA by Fox Television. The Fox Network broadcast a program, Guinness World Records: Primetime, from 1998 to 2001 which featured many unusual people.
Cathie with her 15-inch (38 cm) waist was guest of the show. In it television viewers could see Cathie and Bob in their Victorian attire. We have previously published pictures of these beautiful Victorian outfits in Corsetbrief No. 11.
For many years Cathie has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having the smallest waist on a living person.

The bathing suit of Cathie is made of a special kind of (latex) rubber. Obviously it is not easy to make a bathing suit with a waist size of 15 inches (38 cm).
In the next pictures Cathie's extremely small waist is clearly visible. The corset is made from heavy material because it has to stand extreme strain

It took Cathie 17 years to achieve such a tiny waist. She wears her corset 24 hours a day.
