I'm aware of that. Mar 31 08 12:55 am Link I need to find a measuring tape. I think I have it all wrong! Crazy. Does anyone remember when people used to say the perfect size was 36-24-36?

Dec 06 12 06:22 am Link For fashion llamaing "normal" is 34, give or take 1-2 inches.

Haha! I think larger hips are gorgeous; screw the "industry standards." They don't dictate beauty, they only dictate numbers. Dec 06 12 01:17 pm Link For fashion it's 34 ish, but that only matters if you're at very minimum 5'7. Otherswise, normal hip measurement could be anywhere from 32-50. Or something like that.

(usually) Dec 06 12 02:30 pm Link Ugh, I suck at measuring to begin with, so I really would not be surprised if my measurements are off too. That's why I put "*Measurements might be off because I measured myself " in my profile, lol. Though right now I do modeling as a hobby so I'm not too worried about having the "perfect" size, plus I am only 5'5'', so fashion/high fashion is out of the question for me anyway.

Dec 07 12 02:35 pm Link My hips are my power. ;-) (That's what I tell myself.) Dec 09 12 09:18 am Link I don't know, but you look great to me! Dec 09 12 10:18 am Link hips are measured at the widest part. for different people it's at different places. for hips, measure yourself at different places at your hips and take the biggest one... Dec 09 12 11:17 am Link LillMiss wrote: It's still like that (well, 34-24-34). And more and more we're seeing fashion models that are even smaller, like 32-23-32 Dec 09 12 11:19 am Link entirely depends on the shoot! x Dec 09 12 11:26 am Link I'm actually pretty ok with my measurements: 41-30-40 Dec 09 12 12:02 pm Link Eurocat wrote: Dec 09 12 04:22 pm Link "Standard" measurements now average at 35-25-35. Note that I said average. What a designer wants differs from person to person. So you could have a designer that WANTS a woman with hips. There are different places to measure. Unless specifically asked, I give a designer/costumer my bust, band width, waist, natural hip, and fullest hip. Which respectively are 35-28-25-35-38. The "fullest part of your hip" that people keep mentioning isn't actually your real hip bone. That measurement is taken around the greater trochanter of your femur (or thigh bone), which happens to also be the fullest part of your butt.

Dec 11 12 06:19 am Link Kaeti wrote: My hips are only 33" with 24" waist so I don't think 32" would be too uncommon (and no I don't have a flat ass either!)... the measurement under my bust is 28" but around the fullest part of the bust for me is 33" as well. But I have a tiny frame all around (for instance ring size 3.75) Also I didn't look at the height of the girl you were referring to but I'm only 5'5" and between 105 and 110 lbs so that probably makes a difference as well.

Trying to get that booty to the 40 mark. Dec 11 12 07:06 pm Link |
