My guess is that measurement was from her role in wizard of oz or at least earlier in life. The picture from in the house looks like she is in her 60s.

You should go to http://www.rogerco.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/photos/billie.jpg , that looks to me like it could easily be a 29" waist.

There is a lot of fabric hanging over the front if you look behind at where the hips start to become the waist i would say 22"-24"

I would say in the picture I agree with mmb1998 that her waist would be smaller than 29 inchs perhaps even smaller than 24 inches.

Remember, too, that she was a very petite woman - she was only 5'3 tall and, not in a bad way, pretty scrawny!

29 inches really isn't -that- small.
