I think the point Audrey is trying to make is that although the earlier
tudor styles were not entirely cylindrical there was less emphasis on the
small waist and large bosom that the later Elizabethan (or 18th Century)
styles although much of the cone shaped appearance is an optical illusion
caused by things like triangular stomachers and long points.
