Fuck you. Even when I was 103 lbs at 5'9" tall my hips were bigger than that. You are aware that the 'hip' measurement refers to 'low hips,' right?  Low hips are usually the WIDEST circumference of the female lower body, a few inches below the hipbones over the widest part of the thighs. So, fuck you very much.  36" is a reasonable measurement for many women.
