What is the normal for models hips?
I got measured yesterday and apparently I was measuring in the wrong spot. I thought my hips were 35" They measured me between the top of my hip bone & my butt. 37"! Can you believe that?!?!? On a good thread, my waist was smaller than I thought.. lol Mar 27 08 11:19 pm Link Mindy wrote: That's quite common. New models without any costuming experience always seem to measure their hips too high and their waists too low. 37" hips may not be small enough for fashion, but it's still pretty slim. Mar 27 08 11:52 pm Link . Bra size is band size (perimeter immediately below the bust) plus a letter in cup size for each inch of greater perimeter of the bust size. Waist size is measured at the smallest perimeter between the rib cage and the iliac crests. Hips size is the largest perimeter of the hips-buttocks. The "norm" for a model's hips depends on both body type and photoshoot genre. . Mar 28 08 12:04 am Link ...What they said. I think a lot of the models here measure at the hip bone. If you're in doubt, put more detailed measurements on your profile. In costuming, we used both hip measurements -- "at the bone" and "full hips." Mar 28 08 12:10 am Link My hips are 32"!!!!!

If you're being measured at an agency and you're wearing jeans, they know to subtract an inch.

Mar 29 08 09:42 am Link my hips are 35-36 aproximetely last time I measured and believe me compare to most girls in the real world they are pretty small. I wish I had more hips that would give me a nice hourglass figure. Let me keep dreaming Mar 29 08 09:55 am Link Isn't the perfect figure supposed to be 90-60-90 in cm I don't know what that is in in inches. lol Ok got is 35-23-35 in inches well thats what they go by for things such as Miss universe lol Mar 29 08 09:57 am Link KillerShotz Photography wrote: I remember seeing one of those model shows, not sure which one since they have so many on tv now. This is for high fashion I am pretty sure. They said designers do not like to use models that have hips over 35 inches. One of the models had like 38 inch hips and they were all uptight about it. I do know photographers that will not work with models that have bigger hips them ther chest size. Each photographer is different. I have 32 inch hips and have been told they were a bit big for my height of 5'6.

It depends on what type of modeling that you do. I have 32 inch hips and was told to slim them down for swimsuit shoots. Mar 31 08 12:01 am Link martinimages wrote: Lmao! Haha!

Mar 31 08 12:11 am Link Jane Burgess wrote: Are you sure your hips are only 32 inches? 32 is incredibly tiny for an adult woman's hips. A measurement like that would mean you have a very flat ass or a very narrow pelvis, neither or which looks to be the case from your photos. I'm only slightly taller than you and the last time my hips saw 32", i was well under 100lbs. Mar 31 08 12:17 am Link SHEENA MURRAY wrote: Hahha. I wish I had bigger hips too. I think they are so sexy and womanly (with the right measurements of course!). I love the look of professional corsets on women, for example. Mar 31 08 12:17 am Link |
