Exactly how useful is it to know what your measurements “should” be at a certain weight and height? Your body doesn’t care what some calculator says: a woman at 5’3″ and 112 lb. could be 36-23-36, but she could also be 34-27-34 (more likely, actually) or 38-21-34 or really anything thinnish. What do they propose she do if she doesn’t measure up: shave her hip bones?
