I came across one and gave it my measurements and it said "Sorry your body type is not one of the shapes we calculate" ): I'm kind of offended lol. B-W-H are 44-34-46

What is the importance of having a body type? The only reason (I would guess) that it would matter is when you are looking for clothes to flatter your shape, but even then, it's just a try and see kind of situation.
I know there are fad body type diets out there, but if you just eat right and exercise, you'll lose!
I'd say that you'd have an hourglass figure, based on your measurements, I guess?0 -
You're a pear, but VERY close to hourglass. I think I know the website of which you speak. I'm an extreme hourglass (bust and hips equal, waist 12 inches smaller) and it says it can't give me mine, either.0

Thank you guys (: I want to try and start getting dressed everyday lol, I've lived in yoga pants since my daughter was born (18months ago) and I thought I could try and find clothes based on my shape (:0

You're a pear. A bunch of people are going to tell you hourglass (But then, they tell everyone hourglass. I think people just like that word) but the difference between your bust and hips is just a touch too much to be so.0

You're an inch away from being an hourglass. You're a slight pear.
You can use this site, they're all essentially the same.

wait...do they have stores or departments in stores for particular body shapes??
I've always instinctively known what I can and can't wear and have it look flattering, but I still have to try on everything and I'm often disappointed and just as often pleasantly surprised by stuff that I would have guessed would look a certain way based on the clothing on a hanger. *shrug*0 -
You can check out different types and gauge how you compare to them at MyBodyGallery.com (also good when shopping for a goal weight!) ...0

You're close enough to a true hourglass that clothes made for pear-shaped women might look odd on you. Just search for hourglass clothes.0

Here is a site that I like. Lots of great information.

Personally, despite appreciating the whole body type thing (men just don't understand :laugh:) I find the endo-meso-ectomorph more useful in terms of working out.
The ruler/hourglass/pear/apple scale is mostly just useful for clothing and ego.0 -

I'm good now at knowing what to try on, but when I was younger, it was more difficult.0 -

No one on that site labels themselves correctly. It's a bunch of pear/ruler shaped women who've decided they're actually hourglass (There's that word again) and are running with it.
Also none of those people ever look like me at the weight/height I'm at. Meh.0 -

Well crap, I'm doing it wrong.
No more pear shaped acceptance, I'm gonna start telling people I'm an hourglass.0 -

I don't think 2" is enough to differentiate between a hourglass and a pear for someone who still has a substantial amount of weight to lose. We don't know where she's already lost fat and where she's genetically programmed to hang on to it the longest. It's fairly common for people to lose from the top down. I did, and qualified as a pear for a while before reaching goal as a slightly top heavy ruler by the time the belly flab was gone.0 -

And hourglasses tend to keep their proportions regardless of weight. It's a trait of that particular body type.0
