There is a scene in Thoroughly Modern Millie that might illustrate the trope fairly well, although from Millie's perspective, it's more like Petite Envy. She is well-endowed, but the fashion dictates flat chests. There is a shot of a flat-chested woman, and Millie thinks something like this (and it is also subtitled with dialogue cards): "How come rich girls' beads always hang straight?"

I'll try to find some screen caps.

EDIT: I watched the scenes I had in mind, but I didn't think they would illustrate the trope. Sadly, none of the women or girls looked properly proud...
