Bah... Toning up is one thing, I don't know one girl, skinny or not, who doesn't want to tone their body at least a little...what you have to remember, too, hunnie, is that dress size has skewed dramatically since the time these women were in their prime.
A size 8 back then is now something like a size 2 or smaller, a 12 is probably somewhere around a size 6...but even so, it wasn't the dress size of Bettie, Marilyn, or Sophia that was important, it was the fact that they had curves. They were busty, they had hips, and butts, oozed sexuality, and made no apologies for any of it.
I leave you with this to ponder...check out these pics of Sophia Loren...she's ridiculously hot, right? ...take a look at her hips and thighs...they're not perfect, tightened perfection, but shit, did anyone ever complain? Hell no.

If you want to firm up and lose some weight because you want to make yourself healthier, then go for it, and I know you'll achieve your goal...but don't stress and worry about it too much. I'm sure you look just as hot in some lingerie as Sophia did.
