    I had a tiny waist in comparison to my hips and butt.

    Many pear shaped women have a small waist, too. Hourglasses have a bust as well. The measurements for the classic, perfect hourglass used to be:

    Bust --X
    Waist --X-10
    Hips -- X

    You're clearly an hourglass. Until reading this thread, I didn't think it was difficult to figure out.

    41, 35, 46

    I have lost an inch off my waist and hips since I started MFP! no specific goal, I'd like to get down to size 12 though (currently 16-18).

    I love my shape, but it is hard to find clothes that flatter the hourglass, sometimes I look like I'm all boobs.
    Any suggestions?

    I would consider you an hourglass, too. Basically, the bust and the hips are about the same measurement, and the waist is about 9 to 10 inches less than the bust and hips.

    Currently:
    Bust 36
    Waist 25
    Hip 37

    Goal (around the same as I was in my avatar):
    Bust 35
    Waist 24
    Hip 36

    I tend to look a little straight though since my bottom measurement is most influenced by my rear protruding outward (bubble butt), not hip width.

    I'm 5'4"

    I will note, Apple Bottom jeans are the most comfortable and flattering jeans I have found, and Fashion Bug jeans have been a close 2nd (plus size). Because I am big on top and have broad shoulders I have found tank tops with a wide shoulder band and tops with long short-sleeves and large-ish necks to be most flattering.

    5'4" Hourglass:

    -bust (largest point)- 39
    -waist (smallest point) - 28
    -hips (largest point) - 41

    These have probably changed, I am not exactly sure when I took them. I ALWAYS lose from my waist first.


    Last time I was my ideal weight i was somewhere around 35/25/36, and that would be a great place to get to again :).

    Even at my highest weight (nearly 180) my waist did not exceed 30 inches, in fact I am not sure it passed 28ish -- but I am VERY hourglassy (I don't gain or lose much to my waist, it's all in the bust/hips). I am 5'4".



    I am not sure if that helps!

    Last time I had a 30 inch waist (or a little under) was when I was about 180-185 or so. I am 5'4.5"

    Your mileage may ary.

    Someone on here said I was pear and not hourglass but I just read a few things that said shoulder measurements are a more accurate indicator? My shoulders are a similar width to my hips. I don't mind being a pear, but I just don't know if I am. Not all hourglasses have a big bust, do they?

    I dunno, this just doesn't seem 'pear' to me. It's pretty proportioned. Can someone please clarify for me?

    When I worked out in high school I started around 39(36B)-32-42 at maybe 165lbs? I worked out on the treadmill mostly and the elliptical, bike, as well as bench press with my legs (about 100lbs to start and worked my way up). I was 145 within about two months and my measurements were 39(36B)-27-40/41 I can't remember if it was 40 or 41 for the hips to be honest with you :]
    P.S.
    I was 181 a few weeks ago and I measured 44.5-34-44.5 so I don't know how people were 180 with a tiny waist..unless they have an extremely large toosh and hips and breasts lol OR it could be since I have a large face that my measurements stay large because I am skinny when I'm 145lbs. Well anyways I am an average sized person in the toosh, my hips are large and my breasts are 36D/36DD.
