Perfect Female Body Measurements
Many people ask what is the perfect body measurements for women?
Just because everyone is different does not mean there is no perfect body measurement for women. However to determine an answer some obstacles must be overcome…
As there is no predefined definition of perfection, the answer is somewhat subjective and relative to everyone’s preconception of the perfect female body. So in essence the perfect body measurement for women is depends on who you ask.
Besides individual tastes, the ideal measurements are also cultural defined. In Africa a giant ass is hot, while most woman in the Western world opt to go for some sizes smaller.
Have you ever heard that your arm span is the same length as your height? Or that the size of your foot is exactly the same as the length of your forearm? Well many artists and scientists have noticed this phenomenon over the centuries. They have also found a correlation that the closer to these proportions a person is, the more physically attractive they become. So the perfect body measurements have to be proportional to one another.
Now knowing that we have to limit the region where the proportional theory works. After all a 7 foot women with perfect proportions would not be many peoples definition of perfect. So using western culture as the most influential we can gather that a women’s perfect height is between 5”6’ and 5”10’. (from “body by design”)
Body Measurements
Every woman is born with a particular body type, shape, and hence a peculiar measurement. Some are small and bulky, still they look pretty. Others are medium in height and petite, yet they look gorgeous. There are those who are tall and skinny but are perceived beautiful by many. All such women are liked by one or the other. Therefore, it is actually difficult to give accurate measurements of an ideal female body. According to many fashion and beauty experts and body measurement charts available in various health and fitness websites and journals, women with a 36 inch broad bust, 26 inch broad waist and 36 inch broad hips look gorgeous in almost every outfit. Thus, you can take 36″- 26″- 36″ as the ideal body measurement for women.
The truth is hardly 5% percent of women have the aforementioned perfect body measurements. Most of the women only struggle to achieve perfection in their body size and shape through their entire life. But who says a woman with 32″- 34″- 36″ body measurement does not look beautiful. In fact, she might be the prettiest and noblest woman in the world. Beauty is all about feeling beautiful. No matter what’s your body measurement or shape. The way you carry yourself is more important. Determining an ideal body measurement for women is not wrong, but do not waste your life thinking that you are not among the gifted ladies with a perfect female body. Think you are beautiful and you will be! (by Kalpana Kumari)

How to Take Your Body Measurements
Make sure you’re in your underwear and stand up straight. That means roll your shoulders back to open your chest. Nobody’s watching. So try not to pull in your stomach.
Always use two fingers under the tape measure to build in the right amount of ease (except for when measuring your shoulders and rise).
Take your measurements and fill in the appropriate spaces provided right here:
| 1 – Shoulder to shoulder Measure in a straight line from the outer edge from one shoulder to the other. 2 – Bust Under your arms, around the fullest part of your chest (usually on your nipple area). Wrap the tape around your back and forward to the fullest part of your bust. 3 – Natural waist Around the narrowest part of your torso. This is one of the areas we tend to pull in when it’s exposed. It’s natural. I do it myself when I’m wearing my bikini or a fitted dress. But we need to find the exact waist measurement, so avoid holding your breath. 4 – Hips Measure around the widest part of your hips (usually the area where your hip bones are located). This should be done with your feet close together.5 – Rise Measure from your natural waist down to your crotch. Hold the tape a little loose, gently pull it through the legs (from your crotch, between your legs) and up to the same level as your natural waist. 6 – Inseam From crotch to the inside of your ankle. Start from the ankle and up. This is best done with a partner. |
