Ideal Female Body Measurements

According to the vast majority of modeling agencies in the U.S., the ideal body measurements for a female model are 34-24-34 (bust-waist-hip), standing 5'8" tall and 140 pounds. The ideal body shape is one with a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7 inches (waist circumference divided by hip circumference).

Are you happy with your body?

It is simply not fair (or healthy) to compare yourself to others (or models for that matter), as we all face our own unique challenges and have very different genetic make-ups. So what if you don't have ideal body measurements. It is fair, however, to compare yourself with your own potential.
