I'm lost, I sort of know what it is, but, really, what is it?

I see, I thought it had to do with the actual construction of the waistband in the pants, like a mirdle (man's girdle). Like something Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute would have worn.
You should not have admitted this.

Those girdles were actually worn historically by men wanting to achieve that suited hourglass shape.
From a tailoring standpoint, what is the correct way to achieve waist suppression? Does it occur when the pattern is made or is is simply just nipping the waist during the finishing stages of making a jacket? I suspect that it is probably both, but has more to do with the pattern and how the jacket is initially cut, versus just nipping in excess material after the jacket has been made. Chris (Despos) or anyone else, please clarify.
A bespoke jacket should have its shape already in the initial pattern, not as an afterthought once the jacket is already put together.
