    I'd say inverted triangle.

    My wife is also inverted triangle. If you want to increase the waist-hip ratio, corset training is great so long as you don't go extreme and damage internal organs. my wife does corset training.

    weight gain is natural & easy, but you can't control exactly where the weight will go on.

    I'm genuinely not trying to be a jerk but, why do you care?

    What is knowing your "shape" according to an arbitrary, FRUIT-BASED description going to help with? What are you trying to achieve with this knowledge? This whole thread is super odd and confusing to me.

    Are women's clothes labeled as "banana", "apple", "hourglass" etc.? Your shape is an hourglass. If clothes aren't fitting you correctly, they you may have to get altering done. I get my shirts altered (dress shirts) all the time because the waist is way too wide.

    I totally have a problem with this. Every shirt I wear fits me well in the bust but not in the waist. I'm short so it goes pass the top of my hips and it looks like my stomach is bigger with tiny legs it's annoying.

    How do you get them altered?
    The cleaners where my DW takes her clothes just measures my waist and then tapers the shirts down from the top.

    My weight tends to go to my hips. But mainly my top hips. I don't think I can get much lower waist size since it's 22" currently.

    Top-heavy hourglass. Inverted triangle shapes don't have the waist/hip ratio you do. I don't know why you're asking, but if it is because you wonder about what clothing would flatter, go with the suggestions made for hourglass figures.

    Definitely not a banana figure, aka rectangle. That is where the waist is not much smaller than the hip/bust measurement.

    And pear shapes have small busts.

    Hourglass figures tend to gain weight all over, perhaps more on the lower half than the top, but not as much as pear shapes tend to do.

    You're a classic "8" or "violin" shape, but thin. Main characteristics: high hips, and tends to gain fat around lower belly. Basically, a violin is an hourglass with high hips.

    Do women really spend this much fekking time trying to figure out their body shape?

    I sometimes how bananas dress and hourglasses dress it seems one in the same. That's why I had a hard time telling the difference but you make a good point being my waist is defined thank you.

    You're really tiny. Really, a 22 inch waist?

    Yes, you're a top-heavy hourglass. An hourglass is a waist around 10 inches smaller than your hips. That's what I have, but slightly different totals. ;-) I love my hips - I look dynamite when I Salsa.

    I think I don't feel so endowed in my hip region simply because they're high plus I'm african American so I'm smaller than most women.

    Whatever shape you have, I want it. Seriously, those are pretty much my dream measurements.
