The Skinny on the Shape of Today's Woman
The Skinny on the Shape of Today's Woman

Forget the sultry hourglass figure made famous by sexpots like Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Lauren. Today's women are much less likely to sport the curvy chest and hips with a small waist. According to a recent study at North Carolina State University, we gals are much more likely to favor other shapes:

Rectangular - 46% of women have waists less than nine inches smaller than their hips.

 

Pear Shaped - 20% of women have more down below than up top- with hips at least two inches larger than our chests. (This is so me!)

 

Inverted Triangle - 14% of women had busts three or more inches bigger than their hips.
