      Hourglass. A CHUNKY hourglass. I suppose we'll see when I lose the weight...

      one piece or bikini?

      have you tried any Freya/Fantasie bikinis? they only go down to a 28, but the bikini tops are often smaller than bras ( most of my customers usually size up)
      Ewa Michalak makes them in 26 bands.

      and there are some older styles in footprints that have tie back, so you can adjust as necessary.

      Gottex Free (carried mostly by Bravissimo) also makes ones with decent bra cups and tie backs.

      Thanks! I usually wear a bikini. And a 28 band works fine for me as well. It's just the 30 and up, where it starts to not fit right.

      I might have a 28D or DD Freya top around somewhere if you want me to measure it and see how big it actually comes up?
      otherwise you can always check bratabase, but I can't vouch for the accuracy of their measurements.

      Hourglass? This whole time I've been calling myself pear-shaped. My bust and hips have like an 8-inch difference. My waist is pretty small, though--is that all it's based off, is how narrow you are in the middle compared to what's on either end? lol

      with the 8 inch difference between bust and hips you aren't an hourglass as it's defined. Unfortunately this calculator is biased to sell suits.

      I'm top heavy. I'm always top heavy. I'm like a Weeble that wobbled. :(

      No matter how big I get, I've always been an hour glass. My waist is itty bitty compared to the rest of me! lol

      that's part of what defines an hourglass, and why most women who think they are, aren't.

      Yeah, totally quoting myself here, cos I'm rad like that. My measurements are close to hourglass-- I have a 9" difference from my bust to my waist, and then my hips are about 1.5-2" less than my bust. I have enough gooey fluffy chub that maybe when it's all flat and well behaved... maybe... maybe... maybe... I'll still be top heavy, lol.

      I'm a top heavy hourglass.
      Im still an hourglass because I have 16 inches between my boobs and my waist and 14 between my waist and my hips.
      but hourglasses are born, not made.
      hourglasses gain and lose weight pretty much in proportion, it's one of the definitions of "hourglass"

      Yep, I know. In my opinion, when a person is heavier, measurements are a little less exact (especially for the layperson measuring herself). It's easier to hold the tape too tight or too loose, or not in the right place. My measurements are close as it stands, and perhaps with less room for error, they will fall within the guidelines. Or perhaps they will not. I am not terribly concerned either way. I am closer to it than any of the other body shapes. I'm definitely not an apple nor am I a pear. I guess you could say I'm a rectangle, but I have the curvy girl problem of waistbands gaping when they fit my hips. So, it may not be classically perfect, but it is what it is.

      Thanks. :flowerforyou:


      No problem :)

      Lighten up peeps it’s just a bit of craic :) It is on a RETAIL website (and I stress retail; not health advise, fitness and/or nutrition) so of course they want you to buy something. Its just a bit of fun to think about the Summer especially when its snowing outside!

      :)

      I agree and I always support lightening up about non serious topics (that are intended to be fun) also. Still been an interesting conversation, though. :drinker:

      And I got hourglass when realistically, I'm a rectangle haha.
      I'm roughly 35/27/36--so that already stretches hourglass. But to actually look at me, I'm pretty straight-up-and-down.

      by that I'm an hourglass and when I was at my heaviest weight I was a pear though because my hips got so wide. I guess my hips aren't considered that huge after all?
