Adjective
(of a woman’
s body)
tall, small boned, and skinny. Having an attractively
lean and long looking physique like a model’s.
Women with modelesque figures are usually at least 1.75m and to flatter their proportions they wear “
tall” sized clothing, which is longer but not wider.
Sometimes women only around 1.72m
tall have body types that appear this way & wear certain ‘
tall-sized’ apparel —usually these women are very leggy for their height.
A woman who lacks the attribute of being leggy/tall, and is also rather short— (1.60m & below, or sometimes just below 1.62m) —can be described as petite if she has a similarly skinny body and dainty-frame.
