I think since your bust is just an inch smaller than your hips, that you are an hourglass.

Hi. I am pear shaped. I hate it too, but appreciate as well. I love my waist, I love my arms (they don't gain too much fat, if ever, just need to tone) and I love that I do not gain fat in my tummy and that I look really really really good in dresses/gowns. I don’t like that my breasts are small (but I have learnt to live with them, they look elegant), and when the weight comes off, it shows in my collar bone (not much of an issue). My advice, tone the thighs, you are pear shaped and you are very sexy (it’s better than tummy fat, I think). Look at Beyonce, they can reduce in size...

I'm pretty sure to be an hourglass there has to be at least a 10" difference between your waist and your hips. It's not just about the matching bust and hip measurements.

BUMP Zenny- Read this you are a pear shape !!!!

I have liked to call it hourglass, but let's face it, I'm a pear lol. I'm small up top. I have a small waist. I am wide in the hips. However, that being said, I am working to embrace it, because I think I'm stuck with those wide hips. I might as well rock them!

I have always hated my pear shape (even at 118 pounds --- I am 5'4) I had hips that were never any less than 37.5 or so inches. Even when I was 16 years old, my skirts were much shorter in the back because of my booty butt. AND -- I have more than once put a skirt on over my head because it fit....but I just couldn't get it up over my hips.

I have learned to come to terms with it. It is what it is....so I just deal with it. As someone else mentioned, when you are in shape, a pear is quite sexy. Lots of curves and a butt. I would HATE to have a flat butt with no shape. The key, however, is to stick with your fitness program because the moment you stop, it goes right to the hips, butt, and thighs. Embrace it! Curves are sexy!!!

As far as bikinis are concerned --- I go with solid color bottoms with print tops. It draws the eye up to the chest instead of the rear.

Me me me! I'm soooo pear shaped it's ridiculous. Don't have any pics up or measurements yet, sorry, but you can trust me. It's like, WHOA!!

But I second all the ladies and gentlemen who say it's not a bad thing. Sure, hourglass is prolly best but I'd rather hold weight in a "womanly" way then have a huge round middle and little chicken legs.

Don't know if I should share this story, but when I was in grad school, I was in a pretty male-dominated program and sort of came to think of myself as "one of the guys." Maybe it's low self-esteem, too. Who knows? But anyway, when seeking relief from thesis projects at the pubs we often played "Who would you...?" games, e.g. Who in the program would you lava face? Funny stuff... But one day it was, "Which person in the program would you most want to see naked?" It was me and a load of guys that night (all of them really hot!), and every single one said me. I was shocked! The other girls in the program were all slender, pretty girls. Stunned, I asked why and they all were avidly like: The hips! The hips!

So I took it as a compliment and remember that story when I get depressed about my shrinking bust and not-shrinking hips and how freakishly disproportionate I sometimes feel.

There's lots to be glad for. Look at how crazy people go over figures like Beyonce's and Rihanna's. They're sexy! Plus, big hips make your waist look even smaller. Hip hip! You can always wear a water bra, get implants, or other stuff to even yourself out (I don't but it's a solution anyway) but I think you can't be voluptuous without The HIPS!!! And voluptuous women are the sexiest, I think.

Pretty sure I'm not alone on that

Let's be proud, ladies!

Definitely not alone! I am all wide legs and hips, tiny top! I have working my butt off the last four months trying to get my weigh down again after slowing gaining back over that last few years what I had already last... and I fear my legs are not going anywhere.
I don't weigh myself very regularly at all, but I would say I'm at about 143-145 lbs. I had to by a new dress recently in an extra small (woohoo!!) but only because my waist is apparently too tiny to fill out the middle, but my pants all the same size they were when I started working out frequently again. Just can't win with them.
But I am super pumped about my results so far, so so what if there's a little extra thigh hanging around?
We can only do our best and work and flaunt what we got *hip bump* :happy:

I was never all that confident with my pear shape until I came on this site! I started realizing it was self perception and how many women were about the exact same size, weight, height I am and looked HOT. Then I started looking at my pictures again and realizing I look a lot better than I ever thought! I now own TWO bikinis! I still haomen little body fat to lose but at 25%, I'm ready to show off! I'm weight training now to further improve the appearance but I've already learned to not only like my body but embrace it! It isn't perfect but it is pretty darn great!

Another poster had it right. Check out how to select a bikini for pear shapes.

Banana--I love your story!

I think I finally found a decent swim suit. I still have a pear shape though. I'm coming to terms with it though.

I can't get any smaller, so I know my hips will always be big. I like my badonkadonk though. I'm sure you'll look great OP. Being small on top actually makes you look skinnier, imho.

I'm not entirely sure what you're worried about. You describe yourself so much differently than your pictures show you to be. You're slim, and, to me, you don't look all that pear shaped. NOTHING looks big about you.

I, for instance, am shaped like a brick with boobs and legs. No matter how small I am, in clothes, the rest of my body looks the same size as my chest, because I barely have a waist (and the boobs aren't even that great, I just have a giant ribcage). When I gain weight, I gain a huge belly, face, and upper arms, so I really do always look big. Even when I was much smaller, I kinda looked like a brick, just a little one. It's a struggle sometimes, but I'm happy with how I'm made, and a lot of that is because I'm very happy with my upper body strength - my job requires me to lift a lot, and I can, much more easily than the other women I work with.

I think it looks feminine to have a nice waist, with hips and thighs. And unfortunately for me, it's something I can probably never achieve, without surgical help.

Try to appreciate your natural attributes. Sometimes happiness is a decision.

You look great to me! I'm not even seeing the pear shape. Pear shape is beautiful anyway. I don't put a lot of thought into these measurements meaning stuff. I also have a curvy behind (you can see it in my ticker), but I like it. My husband likes my figure also, and he adamantly claims I am hourglass and not pear shaped. Which I always have to follow up with, well if you are going to call me hourglass you need to say small hourglass (because I feel the pressure of accurately describing based on things I've read on here). My breasts are not large, which is associated with hourglass, but they are proportional to my size. I have heard it called "neat hourglass". My husband thinks I'm way off to call myself pear shaped, I don't really consider myself hourglass. I'm definitely not the straight body type, though. I don't really think I fit into these classifications. I just am what I am. If it looks good, who cares what shape it's called. Our bodies are always fluctuating anyway from all of life's circumstances of being a woman. I see a lot of women that look hourglass to me, calling themselves pear. And regardless of shape classification I admire all these lady bodies.

My waist to hip ratio is 23-34 and for the top it doesn't always seem to matter because there are so many different measurements to consider. Under bust, over bust, shoulder width...all these things contribute to our top shape (also bra size is a little personal to just post out on the internet for me). But, one thing is for sure, when I gain (and I've never gained much) it is in my thighs. My waist and back is always slim and my tummy flat with visible abs. And the rest of me does not change in a visible way either. Even when breastfeeding my breasts only got less than a cup size bigger (and that was only when my full milk came in when my baby was a few days old and then it leveled off again). Anyway, as women, I think we are all very tough on ourselves. But, it's ok to just embrace the beauty of each of our unique bodies.

Sorry for my long winded response.

p.s. I just told my husband that JLo and Beyonce are considered pear shaped, so am I pear shaped like them? And he said, "I don't know...maybe". He's always said I am like a small Beyonce in terms of my shape (and many people have said the same). See we are confused about the shape classifications. And does it really matter. Sometimes it seems like people care more about us classifying our shape than what I care about. But, maybe we are more than a piece of fruit.
