Not all women have the same body shape. Dawn is somewhere between a hourglass and triangle shape. I've absolutely seen women with similar proportions albeit normally with wider hips. Antonia is more of a ruler shape (also sometimes called "banana").

Do a search on Google or Bing for "hourglass figure" or "narrow waist" and you'll find real women with hourglass shapes (not all are Photoshopped). Some are subtle; some are more extreme.

I actually had an acquaintance about 10 years ago who had a severe hourglass figure. The lower part of her rib cage came in so severely that it was causing her medical issues. As she had gotten older (read: late 20s), it had become more of an issue. She elected to have surgery to widen it slightly.
