thin frame

Lean body structure

A thin frame describes a slender body structure—someone who is lean or slight in build: She had a thin frame that made her look taller than she was.

The phrase can also refer to a narrow physical structure like eyeglass frames or picture frames, where thin describes the width of the material rather than a person's body.
