Franz Xaver Winterhalter (20 April 1805 – 8 July 1873) was a German painter and lithographer, known for his portraits of royalty in the mid-nineteenth century. His name has become associated with fashionable court portraiture. Among his best known works are Empress Eugénie Surrounded by her Ladies in Waiting (1855) and the portraits he made of Empress Elisabeth of Austria (1865).

the left is a normal body and the right one that weares corsets during their life
so that is one of the answers on why her waist was so small.

It's shocking!, the body and the skeletal structure are completely deformed, I wonder how it was possible to breath with those "traps"...and this was considered "beauty" ?  

sometimes i read in stories about people in those time who had it hard to breath...

i find it pretty but not when its super small... a bit more fat is ok but not so tiny waist.. but i like the stucture somehow

Her weight was 50 kilos and when she exceeded that weight she felt terrible.
Her waist was 50 centimeters

well my weight is also 50 kilos only my waist is 60 centimeters.. and i also drink milk and eat little because the milk drives away the hunger (dont know exactly how 2 tell that) but not because i wnana be thin but i love milk and if i eat much i dont gain any weight...
but well those days they wore corsets and that made the inside of your body grow different or something..got a pic for that..

she looks like a mix of her aunts marie, sophie and Sisi

Yes, and that's very common with members of close family

In her family i think cause i know much familys but cousins didnt look like their aunt..
but well the sisters looked like eachother so its possible that all their daughters look similar 2

Well, I don't know if the hotel is haunted but I do know that the suite still exists, and still is open for guests too, and that every year at christmas a woman comes into the room. I've heard it is quite expensive to stay there and that only exclusive guests have acces to certain things that deal with the tragic event(Like the Eye-witness account of Fanny Mayer on the event and a dress of Sisi, likely the one she died in), but that others are displayed for Sisi-tourists - as those are called. I've read all this in a book called "In Sisi's traces", whioch travels throughout the world to visit places that once have seen the Empress. I think it is only available in Dutch, perhaps in German, up to this day. It has nice pictures in them, including one of the room she died in.

I know that book saw it on bol.com but didnt want 2 buy it.
anyway the dress that she was killed in is in the hofburg in vienna. i saw it there 2 years ago.

i really want to know if she haunts the place there around the lake and the hotel..:p would be fun
