Are you hoping to get that perfect figure this year?

Apparently it's all in the maths...




Experts at the University of Manchester have

calculated the formula for the perfect hourglass figure for a woman.





The crucial measurements are a bust size DD or E,

and high ratios of the thigh-height and hip-waist measurements.





The higher the ratio of these figures, the more

perfect the hourglass shape.





Dr David Holmes, a psychology lecturer at the

University of Manchester, worked with supermarket chain Asda to devise the

formula.





Their survey revealed that 72 per cent of men were

attracted to curvier women, while 63 per cent of women would rather look like

curvier celebrities such Kate Winslet than slimmer ones such as Cheryl Cole.





So what do you think of the hourglass shape? Leave your comments below...
