What are the model proportions?

[CharDey]

My mom was a model at my age. She was 5'11, 130 pounds- and the modeling agency told her to loose 10 more pounds, so she went down to 120.

I'm 5'8, and 125 pounds. I was wondering what the proportions are to model clothing? If I need to loose extra weight, I will do it.

Anyone else here been a model to help me out? thanks :)

It depends on the label and what your doing. If it's high end runway they typically want you thinner and taller, if it's something like catalog or swimsuit they just want you to be small and around about 5'7-5'9. It's really just depends on what your doing, that's why models fluctuate

Depends on what you want to model for but most have an hourglass figure were there waist is 10 inches smaller than there hips and bust.

models come in all sizes... and by the way try add some pounds...125 is too thin for your height in my opinion

[CharDey]

I can't gain weight. I was born tall and skinny...

[Klaatu51]

even if you eat more you don't?

[CharDey]

I never gain weight. I have eaten entire pizza's and 3 burgers in a row... does nothing.

Some of the Victoria's secret models are your height and weigh about 120 pounds so I would stick to around that for modelling

It's be like you being 140 at 5 11. Or her being 115 at 5 8. So relTively speaking you are ten pounds greater thN she was. but ism if you see to weigh less. Ask an agent.
