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.
