    Do legs play into shape at all? I have giant tree trunk legs. Otherwise, I'd say I'm an apple but they say you're supposed to have small legs. It's so confusing.

    >dez_yaoichan< Well here are my measurements= Breast 36/ waist 27 3/4/ Hips 35 1/2 so does this make me hourglass? I do have big thighs though! The largest part of my thigh measures about 20'' around.

    I would say you are Hour Glass, boardering on Pear. Meaning- you have the figure most ladies are hoping for lol

    I have small chest and hips, but a large stomach,...I am a perfect apple shape.

    Awesome i was really thinking apple but after looking all this up and measuring i can see hour glass and that makes me very happy!!. I still plan on trying to lose 5-8 pounds for my goal and to tighten and firm up. But would really love to get rid of the love handles and thigh fat Lol. Thank you all

    Maybe we're trying to fit ourselves into other peaples idea of shape, I have no shoulders (hardly) I can't even wear a bra with the straps wide set but my bust is far larger than my hips so I must be an apple pear???

    Check out mybodygallery.com You can look for women at your height and weight and specify body shapes.

    From the measurements you gave you sound like you have an hourglass figure, maybe leaning slightly toward pear.

    I define myself as an pear-hourglass hybrid or a wide shouldered pear. I have small breasts (they were medium sized until I lost the weight :grumble:) but my shoulders and hips are similar width. Body shapes can be confusing, though. Lots of people think they're an hourglass, when in reality, it's very rare. There are also a range of body types, depending on what school of thought you go with.

    This is mine. I'm more at the extreme end of pear/hourglass. If your body is like mine, you're probably a pear/hourglass too :)
