hipless
Lacking lateral width
Hipless describes someone or something lacking prominent hips—the body appearing straight from waist to thigh rather than curving outward.
The word applies to body types, fashion silhouettes, or garments designed for narrow frames: The hipless model glided down the runway.
Figuratively rare, but the literal anatomical sense dominates.
