Formula & Mathematical Methodology
WHR = Waist ÷ Hip; Proportional Silhouette Multi-Variable Algorithm
Classifies body proportions by comparing bust-to-hip balance and the degree of waist indentation based on standard garment manufacturing anthropology.
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: Bust: 36 in, Waist: 26 in, Hip: 38 in.
1. Bust-to-hip difference: 38 - 36 = 2 in (balanced, within 3.6 in).
2. Waist indentation: 36 - 26 = 10 in smaller than bust; 38 - 26 = 12 in smaller than hips.
3. Waist-to-Hip Ratio: 26 ÷ 38 = 0.684.
4. Classification: Classic Hourglass silhouette with defined waistline.
Final Calculated Result: Hourglass Silhouette (WHR: 0.684)
