body proportion
Limb-to-torso relationship
Body proportion refers to the relative sizes and measurements of different parts of a human figure in relation to each other and the whole.
Artists and anatomists describe ideal proportions—the head fitting into total height a certain number of times, arms reaching to mid-thigh.
The sculpture's body proportions followed classical Greek standards.
Fashion and fitness contexts use the term for how waist, hips, and shoulders relate to one another.
