Body Proportion

In addition to female body shape and dimension, in order to identify your woman body type, you also have to determine your body proportion which involves dividing your body into equal segments.

Where these equal measurements land on your body, helps to determine how your body proportions align with the proportions that designers have in mind when they construct clothing. Knowing your body proportions also helps you to artistically and strategically create the most visually appealing female body shape that you can...the reality is, this is a strategy that can help you to earn top dollar.
