Maybe what they might have meant is to put your hands on your waist as you would put them on your hips, with your thumbs to the back and your fingers in front. My fingers touch when I do that, though not by much, and I have a 26" waist and a bf% that would be pretty middle-of-the-road for a teenage girl. I don't think they could possibly have meant wrapping your hands around the entire circumference of your waist, not unless they're endorsing corsets too. My (long-fingered) hands are 8 1/2" from thumb to middle finger, and a 17" waist would be considered pretty tiny for a teenage girl in the *1860s* (and only achievable then with years of corseting and the attendant ribcage deformation).
