In human body measurement , the three sizes are the circumferences of bust, waist and hips ; usually rendered as three sizes: xx-yy-zz in centimeters or inches . The three sizes are used mostly in fashion , and almost exclusively in reference to women. In many demographics in the western world, the ideal sizes for a woman are said to be 36-24-36 (“90-60-90″ – the exact conversion in cm would be 91-61-91 cm). BWH measurements and perception Because cup size is not measured (or at best obliquely measured) in BWH measurements, breast volume will have an effect on the perception of a woman’s figure even when BWH measurements are nominally the same. A woman with measurements of 36A-25-38 will have a different presentation than a woman with measurements of 36C-25-38. The former woman’s rib cage is actually 35-36 inches in circumference, while the latter’s is 33-34 inches around, a two inch difference. The result is that the latter woman will appear “bustier” and “hippier” than the former due to the apparent difference in bust to hip ratios (narrower shoulders, more prominent breasts) even though they are both “36-25-38″. Height will also affect the presentation of the figure. A woman who is 36-24-36 at 5’2″ tall looks different from a woman who is 36-24-3…
