slender body
Thin physical form
A slender body is one that is thin and graceful, narrow relative to its length.
The phrase appears in descriptions of people, animals, and objects alike: The dancer's slender body moved effortlessly across the stage, a snake's slender body, the slender body of a wine bottle.
It suggests elegance rather than mere thinness.
