Short Hip

Corset cut high over the hip (3 inches or less from the waistline), often exposing the iliac crest below. If a corset has a high hip, there’s a chance that it might still fit you even if the hip spring appears to be slightly smaller than your iliac crest, because the corset stops short of your actual hip.
Common for waspies and some cinchers.
With this length of corset, the low hip measurement is irrelevant.
