-For [[:SARP]] purposes, BWH is a completely optional character attribute.+For [[:SARP]] purposes, BWH is a completely optional character attribute, and putting it on your character biography page is mainly useful for fellow players to visualize your character's shape, and for artists commissioned to draw your character. We hope you find this page educational and informative and remind you that body size doesn't affect how awesome you are.
  
- +===== Measurements ===== 
-==== Measurements ====+Measurements are fairly simple enough: Bust - Waist - Hips.
  
 A female human's "measurements" ([[wp>BWH]]) usually refers to the following: A female human's "measurements" ([[wp>BWH]]) usually refers to the following:

 With a classically-figured woman of average height (which I presume is around the 5'-5'6 area), I have heard that optimum measurements are somewhere in the 36-24-36 area. This is going off memory, so I could be way off, but generally the waist is the smallest measurement while the bust and hips are close to being the same. With a classically-figured woman of average height (which I presume is around the 5'-5'6 area), I have heard that optimum measurements are somewhere in the 36-24-36 area.

 +
 +The "ideal" waist-to-hips ratio is 0.7 (the waist measurement is 7/10ths the hips measurement).
  
 If you want more examples, I took a wild guess and found that clothing sites have the best resource. Take your pick: preppy clothing store websites, adult sportswear websites, the Speedo website...basically anything where you would need to know how to find your measurements and then need a chart to match your measurements to a clothing size. If you want more examples, I took a wild guess and found that clothing sites have the best resource.

 For Measurements you take the Bra band size (The rib cage diameter) and add the inches from the Cup size (A= 1; B=2; C=3; D=4) to that base number to get the bust measurement. So a 32 with a B cup would be 34in in her measurements. For Measurements you take the Bra band size (The rib cage diameter) and add the inches from the Cup size (A= 1; B=2; C=3; D=4) to that base number to get the bust measurement. So a 32 with a B cup would be 34in in her measurements.

 +Bust measurements tend to confuse people due to the fact that they are uncertain of how bra sizes work. The number represents a band size, the diameter of a woman's chest. The letter represents the cup size which is how many inches from the chest the boobs are. 
  
 === Cup Sizes === === Cup Sizes ===
 +Cups sizes tend to equal this by European and American standards (Japanese bra sizes tend to run a cup size SMALLER meaning an AA cup would be an A cup):
 +
 +  * Half inch = AA cup
 +  * One inch  =  A cup
 +  * Two inches = B Cup
 +  * Three inches =  C Cup
 +  * Four inches = D Cup
 +  * Five inches = DD or E
 +  * Six inches = F Cup
 +  * Seven inches = G Cup  
 +  * (They do use the rest of the alphabet)
 +
 +So as an example, Chiharu wears a size 32B bra. This means that the diameter of her chest is 32 inches and her boobs are 2 inches from her body. This would make her chest measurement 34 inches.

Line 40: Line 57:
 E cups (aka DD) and all sizes larger cumulatively occur almost just as often as D cups. Still, for the sake of having soldiers who can actually fit into power armor, or a soldier that can actually move without encumbrance I think this should be reclassified as rare. E cups (aka DD) and all sizes larger cumulatively occur almost just as often as D cups.

-Star Army has a random generator for BWH, cup size, and height here: [[http://stararmy.com/generators/body-measurements.php|Random Body Measurements Generator]]+According to a survey by bra retailer Intimacy((http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/24/bra-size-survey_n_3645267.html)), the average bra size in 2013 was 34DD. Interestingly, in 1992, the average was only 34B.
