    Ladies... I thought you measured your shoulders, natural waist, hips. That your shoulders and hips should be within an inch of each other, and your waist 8-15 inches smaller than hips and shoulders. Your bust doesn't have anything to do with it.

    No, its Bust, Waist, Hips. Bust and Hips should be equal to each other and the waist should be at least 10" smaller than bust and hips.
    At least that is how it has traditionally been assessed.

    Interestingly most women identify as hourglass but in reality only about 8-10% of women actually fit the criteria.

    I might not fit the definition of hourglass, but that doesn't stop me from loving my curves! All you beautiful women out there should love your bodies and be proud of it, whether or not you fit some "perfect" ideal or not!!

    I don't know my actual measurements, these are the last I put on MFP on 6th Dec. I guess...

    chest 39,4"
    waist 29,5"
    hips 38,6"

    My hips measurements don't usually involve my butt measurements so I'm sure I'm larger down there. My upper tighs and bum are the bigger part of my body, my boobs are not huge but I'm still more hourglass shaped than pear I guess... anyway I have no specifical goal for my measurements, I'd just like to shrink the 3rd dimension of my butt (width).

    I was looking on here to see if anyone was similar to myself.

    Weight 152

    I am 5' 2
    Bust: 35
    Waist: 32
    Hips:39

    Glad to know there is someone else out there sized like myself.

    Measured myself today. 39, 28, 40. They don't come more Hour Glass than that! Wow! :blushing:

    PS (didn't measure myself right at the start but) these are down from 40something, something a lot more than 30, high forty something.

    I'm an hourglass (although a pregnant hourglass at the mo). I'm 5'6 so not short, just average!

    My measurements pre-preg were:
    Boobs 37", wore a 34/6D bra
    Waist 29"
    Hips 39"

    I was 154lbs and wore a uk size 12, so US 8. I was sometimes a size bigger in jeans, and a size smaller in dresses.

    Ideally I'd have lost a couple of inches from my waist and hips.
