What is my body shape?

KatyAverill

I'm not sure if I'm a pear or an hourglass or an overweight carrot/rectangle shape.
I'm down around 40 lbs and have a ways to go still, but I would love to know what my body type is. I'm 5'8" in case that matters.
What would you consider me?

Hips: 50"
Waist: 44" (at belly button-smallest part of my waist is 40")
Low waist: 46"
Chest: 40"
Bust: 47"
Shoulders: 49"

I'm not sure why it would matter?

I'm curious. Plus if you know your body shape it can make it easier to figure out what style clothes are most flattering.

Thank you! That was pretty cool! My guess was spot on. Also, according to that, I'm a pear.

If you are 47/40/50 wouldn't you be closer to an hourglass figure?

Yeah id call that an hour glass, Its pretty simple really just look in the mirror...if your hips and chest are bigger than your waist and it curves in your an hourglass, Sounds like you are.

You are definatly NOT pear. pears have very little chest and great big hips
