Three sizes

Three sizes

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 cm).
