I think we've all heard 36-24-36 meaning a woman with a wonderful figure. Not surprisingly a lot of folks have done research on what an "ideal" female figure is. I think I can safely say that these can provide us with at least some guidance in creating a better/stereotypical appearance
One ratio is a waist to hip ratio of 0.7 to 1.0.
Bust should approximately equal hips.
I can work with these through: 1) diet and exercise for a smaller waist, 2) corset for smaller and shaplier lines, and 3) padding for larger bust and hips (more difficult than I thought it would be).
But one serious studnet of these numbers builds ratios around the one thing we really can't change - Shoulder Width

My shoulders are about 5 inches wider than my hips and for me, padding out that much always produces un natural loking results. That being said, I see lots of girls with rather narrow hips and a more athletic build who are very attractive, so I guess that has become my more achievable goal.
Thoughts.
