Calculate Your Hip to Waist Ratio


There is a pretty good chance you only think you have a big bottom. Studies have shown that a hip to waist ratio of .6 to .7 is considered to be the most attractive regardless of weight.

If you fall within the .6 to .7 range, but think you have a big behind, you are mistaken. Show that bottom off! There is a good chance you simply need to balance your body by adding volume to your bust and shoulders.
