Ideal Body Measurements For Women

Perfect Female 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.

Different Female Body Types

anana Shape: The width of the waist is less than that of the bust

and hips. It is generally less than 9 inches. In such a type of body

shape, fat is distributed predominantly in the abdomen, chest,

buttocks and face. Females with such a body shape have higher

levels of androgen than estrogen. This causes the skeleton to

grow in a masculine pattern.

Pear Shape: The width of the hip is greater than that of the bust.

The distribution of fat is more on buttocks, thighs and hips. As

the body fat distribution increases, it is deposited on the upper

body parts, including the abdomen.

Apple Shape: Females with an apple shaped body have bust

and shoulder measurements greater than the measurement

of the hips. They have the highest level of androgen as compared

to females with any other body shape, which causes their

body to develop in a masculine pattern.

Hourglass Shape: In the hourglass body shape, the width of

the bust is almost similar to that of the hips and has a narrow

waist. This is the shape with the highest symmetry. Majority

of cultures consider the hourglass body shape to be the perfect

female body shape.
