Ballet dancer posing on pointe
I have previously written about the different female body shapes some years. It was actually one of the first blog posts I wrote in 2012 when I first started blogging, check it out here. It is an Oldie but a Goldie, it was well received and is still one of the most popular posts on the blog so I decided to write a series of more detailed posts about the different female body shapes.
Today it is all about The Ballerina body shape. This shape is desirable for ballad and it is also meant for fashion, it consists of a tiny waist, small bust, defined toned body, narrow hips and endless legs. Twiggy, Nicole Kidman and Audrey Hepburn are some of the famous ballerina shaped women. Some fashion models also have this shape.
The ballerina shaped woman has the tendency to look boyish so The Fashion Tip is to go for feminine pieces like an A line skirt, a full skirt and similar pieces.
When it comes to any body shape, the idea is to highlight the positives and delete the negatives. Here are the DOs and DONTs for the ballerina shaped woman:
DOs
- Play up your body shape with solid colours like black and white.
- Wear full skirts and big bold belts to draw attention to your tiny waist.
- Opt for outfits that show off your graceful neck.
- Opt for feminine pieces like dresses, skirts and so on.
DONTs
- Avoid maxi skirts and dresses, they do nothing for your silhouette.
- Avoid tight bodycon dresses. You don’t have the curves to fill them.
- Avoid clothes with large print, they have the power to drown out your elegant features.
Those are the fashion tips for the ballerina shaped woman. Are you a ballerina shaped woman? Do you have any tips to share? Sound off in the comment section. Thanks for reading and have a fantastic Friday.
I had never heard of this body shape before but I wish I had it!
I wish I had it too ha.
Good tips to keep close the heart cos I might decide to work on my shape to have a ballerina figure lol.
Thanks Osime.
I have heard of pear and apple shaped women, but not of the ballerina shaped ones. But I guess women come in all shapes and sizes, right? 🙂
Yes there are various female body shapes.
I never knew that there was actually a name for this sort of petite body shape! My body shape is far from ballerina like despite over 10 years of ballet, but these seem like great tips for enhancing their looks!

Yea there is. Thanks for reading Laura.
This is the ideal body shape meant for fashion and modeling and so on, but in reality we all have different body shapes. My tip would be to emphasize and highlight your more positive and prominent features and anything you wear will look surely look beautiful.
I agree. Thanks for stopping by.
You’re welcome
The points are spot on. Well done you.

Ahhhhh ballerinas. I took classes as a child but had to stop just before I got to my Points. Yesterday before my Street Dance class, I watched the winding down of a ballet class and did marvel at their bodies and what they could do with it….tsigh…great post!
I will want my daughter to take some classes. I am useless at these kind of things. Thanks girl.
Yep, definitely get your daughter in those classes she will learn so many lifelong good traits- discipline, poise, flexibility…
This is a great post. My body is not that shape, but gosh I find this kind of body pretty!

I will be writing on other female body shapes in the coming weeks.
After I initially commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify
me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment
is added I receive four emails with the exact same comment.
Is there a means you are able to remove me from that service?
Thanks a lot!
