say you have to draw the art, to make it look the best you woul need to end the art at one of the natural cutoff lines, on that image there are two, the belt under the bust and the end of the doll-dress, you would /not/ cut off at the waist because that is in the middle of the dress and looks bad you would cut it off either at the belt or the bottom of the dress

both of those places count as 'waist' even though one is on the ribs and one is on the hips
