hips but bottom heavy? Pear hourglass rectangle?

Ideal362433

I'm wondering what of you have narrow hips and a big butt your measurements are 31-23-33 with 33" shoulders is it an hourglass rectangle or pear? What shape would that be considered?

Even though her hips are 10 inches wider than her waist.


Sorry it's short. I meant to mention the woman I am talking about used to be 175 lbs. now she's 91-94 lbs.

Her measurements used to be 30-22-32 before her weight gain to begin with.

All sites I've looked on say if your hips are 10 inches bigger than your waist then you're not a rectangle shape.

Why does it even matter? It's not like we win a special prize for being a pear, hourglass, rectangle, etc.

It's just both of us have been curious if there was an exception? That's all in this case?

Ideal362433

Because if she's not an hourglass or pear she can't be a rectangle her hips are too big compared to her waist.

If your hips are WIDE and you look like an hourglass shape form straight on you're an hourglass. Otherwise you are a rectangle with a big butt. Either way it means your weight isn't on your midsection so it's 'healthier' fat!

Nope I'm talking about my mom who's actually on here too.

I'm not a troll.

I said her hips are too big compared to her waist but her hips themselves are narrow. If you can't picture what that looks like maybe you need to get out more so you'll see what I'm actually talking about. For now there's nothing I can say further to make you understand.

It would seem your question has been answered, i would have gone with anemoneprose and her response. But can't help noticing so many angry women..... Chill. Yes it's in the wrong forum... no need to pms at her about every little detail.. Do something more constructive with your time. It's all about encouragement... hugs and MFP

For Joyofclothes, she doesn't have less defined waist. She doesn't have a flat butt. Her tummy is not average but small 25". For fashionista she gains weight in her thighs not all over her body. hips and bust aren't similar dimensions. For inside out, her shoulders are the same size as her hips. However, her waist is not 9 inches or less smaller than her hips/shoulders. Her hips/shoulders are 10 inches wider than her waist instead.

She is short which shortens her definition but it still exist proportionately for her waist.

Basically if you get my point it's confusing to me what she is as it stipulates apart of the rectangle body shape is lack of waist definition and the hips/shoulders and waist are close in dimension this is not the case. Basically she's kicked out of the rectangle category.

Why do you care so much as to keep asking this over and over again? Is there some special contest you want to enter that only allows a certain shape to participate?
Sorry, that's snarky I know, but this feels a bit ridiculous.

If there's a contest, I WANT IN!

Yeah this isn't about me at all. Just stop. If you can't comprehend, that this is a different thread, then, it seems lame you are amused by repetition.

I would say you're hourglass but that's just my opinion

I wouldn't even reply to have the people posting here as they didn't help, wrote something rude or just wasted time.

Best thing to do. A, avoid the forums, b, Block users that are just posting to clearly get there post numbers up, or post rude comments to feel good about them selves or C, Don't worry about it. There are many rude people on the internet. It's where cowards go to abuse without anyone stopping them. Peace.

Lol Aw. Look, most women don't fit perfectly into the categories. I call myself a pear-rectangle when I want to think of myself as a fruit-geometric shape. If the worry is about clothes, & approximating the idealized hourglass shape, this is what you (or your mom) can do:

Method 1
- Take a picture each of front, back, side views in a bathing suit or something like that.
- Print them
- Draw a line around the body you see in one colour (blue, whatever)
- Mentally picture an hourglass
- Draw shapes in another colour (say red) of where more volume would have to go around the blue lines, in order to create the hourglass silhouette.
- When you shop, think about how clothes could fill out the parts* you outlined in red.

Method 2
Try a bunch of stuff on and try to remember what looks good (this one is usually better & easier, and might surprise you)

*and you're reading fashiony things so you probably already have a good idea, but think about not just how clothes/accessories literally fill out that new space you've created (like say a jacket with structured shoulders might 'build you up' on the top), but also how things like the texture and colour of fabrics could create a similar effect in other ways.

like they often say, for pears, to have detail up top (ruffles, scarves, etc) to draw attention from the bottom. i hate ruffles and scarves. i found, by trying things on, that a simple high crewneck sweater, or a cap-sleeved t-shirt, can also create visual bulk up top, by making a kind of square that can balance out the bottom. while e.g. a scoop neck just calls attention to the wrong things. where hemlines fall (of shirts, jackets, scarves), that too can make a difference. just try stuff on

Yeah that helped. Thinking of it. Almost anything that she puts on if it fits right shows off waist definition however if she wears crew necks or anything to bulk up it makes her look unbalanced. Same with the bottom half. But she has a well defined waist.

I don't know what shape it is, I only know it's definitely not rectangle shape. I also would say the shape is slim and curvy (not a big butt as others are saying). Curvy butt, not big butt. Maybe people are saying a rectangle with a big butt just to mess with you.

Perhaps a dodecahedron.

Don't really care if people are trying to say whatever. Fact is her measurements are too different to be rectangular. I tried to look up quizzes and ask her questions on her wardrobe she can wear anything look good in it but I think she's A tiny hourglass honestly by what we can tell.

Achrya

A rectangle is a "tiny hour glass", you realize that right? If you're 39-30-39 you're an hourglass and if you're 38-30-38 you're a rectangle, simply because the difference is less than 9 inches. If you're 39-30-42 you're a pear, because the hip difference is more than 2 inches larger than the bust. If you're 42-30-39 you're an inverted triangle. The difference in measurements from shape to shape is fairly minimal.

None of the shapes mean "you have no waist definition" and most certainly being a rectangle/banana doesn't mean that. It is literally being a smaller hourglass in a lot of cases.

At 31-23-33 a person is technically a pear (wider hips, bust not 9 inches bigger than waist).

dunnodunno

Because if she's not an hourglass or pear she can't be a rectangle her hips are too big compared to her waist.
