But in general Height: 5'9"( sometimes 5'8") to 5'11" Bust: 31-34" Waist: 22-24" Hips: 31-35" Mar 03 11 05:32 am Link You're not tall enough to be a fashion model, so you're weight doesn't matter. Besides, it's all about sizes and measurements, not weight. Mar 03 11 07:34 am Link Charlotte Schmidt wrote: this. Mar 03 11 09:40 am Link From my understanding, the standard fashion model measurements are: 5'10 32A/B 24 34 But like said above, your height isn't grouped in with the high fashion model standard. Just make sure you are well proportioned Mar 03 11 09:43 am Link Miss Eva Marie wrote: 5'9 and above, me thinks but I could be wrong.

Mar 03 11 02:38 pm Link if you re not tall enough for fashion I'd say go with what you feel comfortable with. Mar 03 11 02:51 pm Link To OP -- It depends what genre you want to focus on. I look for curvy models who have the approx. specifications: 36-40 Hips 26-30 waist 36-44 DD-GG chest 5'4-5'9 Height Was this in regards to what models are looking for or photographers' preferences? I prefer to shoot healthy models. Gabby Mar 03 11 06:53 pm Link 5'9+ bust 34 waist 24 hip 34 Mar 03 11 06:56 pm Link Liv Yelf wrote: For who and what are you shooting? Mar 03 11 06:57 pm Link you're in a commercial category, so i would just say stay in good shape (toned, proportional) and try to make your measurements match a particular dress size like 4/6 or something. that will make you more marketable.

Also keep in mind that your market may function differently than others so talk to models/photogs/agencies where you're at and see what they think. Mar 03 11 10:01 pm Link |
