Show 1 Women of Ideal Form. There is no longer a perfect type of woman, such as the Greeks admired. There is the ideal short woman and the ideal tall woman, but they are very different. Artists say that the short woman should measure as follows: fol-lows: Height, 5 feet 4 Inches; neck 12'2 Inches; bust, 36 inches; waist, 21 Inches; hips, 37 inches; round the largest part of the forearm, below the elbow, 11 inches, which should gradually taper to six inches around the wrist. Here are the proportions pro-portions , of the correct tall woman: Height, 5 feet 8 inches; bust, 36 inches; waist, 25 Inches; hips, 42 inches; top of arm, 14 inches; wrist, 6 Inches: thigh, 22 inches; calf, 14 Inches: ankle, nine inches. |
