What body shape would I be considered?
I'm 5'1 " 98.6 lbs 38 inch shoulders 36 in bust 24 in waist 32.5. My forearm is 9.5. My legs are 18 inches and my calves are 13.5 I guess. Idk how I'm supposed to measure my bust. My rib cage is 28 inches my fullest is 35-36. I'm a 32C. I gain weight in my butt thighs slightly in my hips and and just a tab in my stomach and bust sorta. This is compared to when I was 84 lbs. I was 35-24-30.5. My bust stays the same when I'm underweight but I lose my weight in my lowest parts and gain it back down there. I am a 0. No matter what.
My mom has the same size rib cage 28. And 31 inch bust and 23 in waist and 33 in hips. 18 in thighs and 13 in calves. She's 39 93 lbs sometimes smaller and 4'11". She gains in her thighs. She's an A . My grandma on my day's was pear shaped deeply. My grandma on my mom's side started out 36DD-23-34. I think that means her fullest bust was 41? Isn't a 36DD 41 fullest? She was 5'6" and 115 lbs. she gained weight like a massively busty lollipop/apple. Anyway Of all my female relatives I have no shape I've solely gotten from besides my mom sorta but I don't even know she is. What shape gains solely thighs? What shape is busty and topheavy yet gains most weight in the lower half when they're underweight to healthy weight?

Maybe a pic would be more beneficial? hard to picture with just numbers
I'm also sure if you googled body shapes online it would give you a pretty good idea0 -
If you like what you see in the mirror, does it really matter what shape your body is considered by others to be?
I think you're over-analysing yourself. You're human shaped, and totally normal.
It only really matters when it comes to what kinds of clothes suit you, and you can find out what clothes suit you without labelling your body type. That's my take on it.0 -

It does because I'm wondering if I gained weight would I be top or bottom heavy? If I were bottom heAvy I'd rather gain the weight.0 -
what they ^ said. Firstly only you know where you gain weight. No one can tell you that.
Second, those pics are really hard to see..Upside down and really small.
If you really do want to find out, post clearer pics maybe straight on and you might get an answer you are looking for.0 -

even if you categorised yourself into the (totally unscientific) body types used by fashion retailers to figure out what clothes would suit you, it would not be a reliable predictor of how you would gain weight.
For example if I put my measurements into a body type calculator, it tells me I'm an hourglass, because it assumes I have big boobs, based on the fact my chest measurement is big. However, I have small boobs and a big rib cage, and the fashion tips for the "inverted triangle" work better for me than the "hourglass" tips. This information will not tell anyone anything about how I'll gain weight. When I was obese, I was a "banana/ruler" shape (albeit a rather fat banana or ruler, but that's what my measurements said). All it can tell you is what kind of clothes look good on you.... and it's not even good at that because it gets my shape wrong. Am I really an hourglass or an inverted triangle? the answer is "who cares?" I wear clothes that suit me, and use the mirror to judge that, not a body type calculator.
If you've never been heavier than you are now, then you'll probably just have to see what happens as you gain weight. If you have been heavier in the past, usually you'll be the same as when you were heavier before, though hormones can make a difference, some women store fat differently after having a baby than they did before, for example, so it's not a foregone conclusion that you'll always gain weight the same way... but in most cases, you will.
IMO if you want to make your thighs bigger, then do lots and lots of squats, lunges, deadlifts and the like... but to be truthful it'll be hard to make your muscles much bigger as a woman... if you do this and eat at a surplus, you may end up with larger, more shapely thighs. If you just gain weight without the exercise, you're basically at the mercy of gaining fat wherever your body wants to gain it... but if you target your muscles with heavy lifting, you have *a little* control over where you gain, because you can gain a little muscle mass eating at a surplus, although the main thing lifting does is improve your overall shape and make you more "toned" looking. Even with weight training and eating at a surplus, you'll still gain fat, and you can't control where you gain it. On the other hand, if you don't like how your body is when you gain weight, you can always lose it again (keep up the lifting, just eat 10% less than you burn off in the process)0 -
Lady shaped? :laugh: no idea...0

^I second that.0 -

In that case I would classify your body shapes as fuzzy and upside down.0 -
I would call it the lucky dog shape, if you are busty and don't gain in the hips.0

The way apples gain weight it seems not desireable. I don't think I'm an apple more an inverted triangle but I gained weight on my butt which makes me think maybe weight gain would be beneficial. I have been doing exercises to keep my lower half to balance out my upper half butt not much progress how long does it take? My mom's family builds up fast when it comes to muscle for some reason...0 -

do squats, deadlifts, stiff leg deadlifts, split squats, lunges, step-ups, stair climbing, stuff like that, with as much weight as you can. Also eat plenty of protein and eat slightly more than your TDEE
if you also gain fat on your butt, then that's going to balance you out even more. If you don't gain it on your butt, you can also do a cut (eating TDEE - 10%) to get rid of the fat you gained while keeping the muscle.
That advice is the same whatever your body type, in terms of how you store fat. You can't predict where you'll store fat from your measurements, but if you have gained a little weight in your butt then maybe you'll gain a little more there before you gain it in other places.... try it and see, you can always cut to get rid of any fat you gain, if it goes on somewhere you don't want it. Just remember it works like the last place you gain fat is usually the first place you lose it from.0 -

Without a hip measurement that is hard to say. But if you are looking to decide how your body will gain weight try this. Take your right hand and wrap your left wrist with your middle finger and thumb. If they just touch you are mesomorph, if they overlap you are ectomorph, and if they do not touch you are endomorph. The basic run down is that mesomorph people are more musular or medium build, ectomorph people are natually skinny, and endomorphs are big boned. Mesomorphs tend to gain weight all over whereas endomorphs tend to gain in the middle to round out. Ectomorphs, have to work hard to gain weight. Here is a good sight with a more detailed test..once you know what you are you can google that one to find out more about how your body type works.

I know I am mesomorph and if I gain it will be from top to bottom. I also know that as a woman I have to becareful with heavy weights because I will buff up more than other women.0 -

I know I'm ectomorph its whyI struggle not to be underweight. Also they overlap very much.
Btw my hip measurement was 32.5 right now at my heaviest 33.5. My underweight size was 30.5 at best/heaviest.0 -
If I read this correctly, your measurements are
Bust at fullest: 36
Waist: 24
Hips: 33.5
Yes? In that case you would be considered an hourglass shape. I entered your numbers into an online body shape calculator. There are loads of them and they will easily tall you which shape you are0 -
That's my mom's room. Why are you stalking me? Oh still butthurt you got ignored. Don't worry0

That's my biggest hip measurement. Right now I'm 32.5. Erica eleniak in the 90's and I have very similar measurements. And our shoulders are both big too. I heard one person call her an inverted triangle but I keep getting a bigger butt every time I gain weight.0 -
Aw man, this have given me serious brain ache....

Sorry
And I'm going to google one right now thanks.0 -
There are three body types Endomorph, Mesomorph and ectomorph. Now no one fits 100% into these body types everyone is a mixture of the three on a point scale up to seven

This should give you more of an understanding and it's the key to understanding what will work best for you genetics wise. it's not totally blank and white but a good starting point.0 -

On one site I got apple I look at the inverted triangle definition and it explains me more IMO. My shoulders are my widest parts. I got three results of being an hourglass one of those with my measurements currently 36-24-32. While the other ones were of me at my highest weight. I'm like a top heavy hourglass at my heaviest weight maybe if I gain weight I'll be more like an hourglass I just don't want to look like a fat apple but i guess if it goes in that direction I can easily lose the weight back to just being top heavy.
I also answered a few questions in one test and got goblet another strawberry and another chili saying I shouldn't lose weight and need to gain weight. So yeah I'd categorize goblet and strawberry as top heavy shapes as well. I guess that's what I am top heavy for now more I just wonder in the future will i be able to become an hourglass is it just my waistline that'll overflow sorta lol.0 -
I think I am a bit of both ectomorph and mesomorph. I have a high lean mass and even though I'm a girl my body reacts fast to exercise and it has since I was like 9 in ballet.There are three body types Endomorph, Mesomorph and ectomorph. Now no one fits 100% into these body types everyone is a mixture of the three on a point scale up to seven
