It seems like they're saying "waist" when they mean "abdomen". I don't think it's genetically possible for women in my family to have a 32" abdomen - not with the well-made Highland stock that I come from!

Just above the navel - definitely not. Sometimes the narrowest part is at the navel but not always. I think I would be inclined to consider the place where, when you sit down, your waist band naturally settles.
