What are the ideal measurements for a 5 7 woman?

For a woman who is 5’7” (170 cm), “ideal” measurements are subjective and depend on cultural preferences, body type, and proportion. However, based on research on attractiveness and classic hourglass proportions, we can estimate balanced and proportionate measurements.

1. Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)

  • WHR ~0.7 is widely considered attractive.

  • For example, if hips are 38 inches, waist would be about 26–27 inches.

2. Bust-Waist-Hip Example (Hourglass Proportions)

For a 5’7” woman with a balanced figure:

Measurement Inches Description
Bust 36–38 Full but proportional to hips
Waist 26–27 Narrow waist, accentuating curves
Hips 36–38 Rounded, balanced with bust

Example: 36-26-36 or 38-27-38

  • These measurements give a classic hourglass silhouette, emphasizing proportion and symmetry rather than extreme sizes.

3. Alternative “Curvy” Proportions

  • Some women may have a fuller bust or hips, maintaining the WHR ~0.7:

    • Example: 38-28-40 or 40-30-42

  • Still considered attractive as long as waist remains proportionally smaller than bust and hips.

4. Other Factors

  • Weight and body composition: Muscle tone and posture can enhance appearance regardless of exact numbers.

  • Confidence and poise: Carrying height and figure with confidence greatly improves perceived attractiveness.

Summary

  • For a 5’7” woman, balanced, proportionate measurements around 36–38” bust, 26–28” waist, and 36–40” hips are often considered ideal for an hourglass or curvy figure.

  • The key is symmetry and proportion, not hitting exact numbers.
