There is heavy pressure on Romanian women to be skinny, so smoking and dieting are part of their culture. Aside from that, they are heavily influenced by western ways when it comes to plastic surgery, which is pretty common and very available. There is also expectation for women to dress up, whatever their profession may be. A teacher in heels is not an uncommon sight. Nevertheless, there is a fine line between being conservative and being revealing. In fact, women are condemned if they show too much. The beauty ideal values a trim body type which is well-built on the bust. Maintained nails and long hair are also preferred.
