    So now there are MEASUREMENTS to be considered SHAPELY? What is it about numbers that everyone is obsessed about? If you are happy and SEE yourself as shapely, then you are! As long as you are happy with yourself! :) Looking at your profile pic, I would say you have a very nice shape!

    You made my day with this, seriously. :-) Just wanted to say.

    I'm 38.5 (34DD/E)-28.5-38.5 exactly. Happy enough with that except the my waist has only dropped three inches and I've dropped six off the others. Just waiting for my waist to catch up!

    We're close, except I have more belly.. 38.5 (34DD)-30.5-39 - I think I'm an apple.

    35-26-35. I'm looking to decrease my hip size a bit and my waist is still decreasing, but I'm naturally an hourglass and love it. Even if I was skin and bones, i have "child-rearing hips". Don't mind that I'll probably never fit in a size 2 or 0 or something, but just wish the extra fat was gone so they can be one of my favorite features rather than one of my least favorite :P

    I honestly don't know what my measurements are, i just know that i am DEF an hour glass.....i have huge boobs, a "smaller" waist and a huge booty.....if you look at my waist it looks like there is a triangle coming in right where my hips and wasit meet. I need to scale down my measurem,ents drastically, but i think the top measurements will hve to go down with surgery

    To try to give an answer to this... after I lost about 30lbs I was really happy with myself. I thought I looked great, and was really confident. I then got a load of fat comments from various different people and now don't trust myself about whether or not I look good. I keep changing my mind about what I think when I look in the mirror. But numbers? You can't argue with cold, hard numbers. If I have a definitively small waist, then I know I can't be too big. And if I can convince myself of that, then I can start convincing myself I look alright when I look in the mirror.

    And to answer OP's question: I'd consider myself an hourglass with 34-25-25.

    So I was just playing around with some numbers, and according to this site, there must be a 12inch min difference for hourglass, not 9 or 10 as has been mentioned (I always thought it was 8 or 9). I even entered 40-30-40 and it said it didn't recognize that shape- ha! but 38-26-38 is hourglass.

    Enter your measurements here: http://www.calculator.net/body-type-calculator.html

    According to your measurements you're a straight body type, which over half of the female population actually is.

    If you were to subcategorize yoruself, you'd probably be a slender hourglass, because it is obvious there is some definition.

    To be an hourglass shape however, I think your waist needs to be 9 inches smaller than your bust, or something crazy like that.

    Hahaha this is my test result: Sorry your body is not in the 4 shapes we calculate

    Muy bust is 41.5, waist 30.5 and hips 40.

    Just a quick note, there have been a lot of studies on body geometry, symmetry and how people perceive beauty. Generally anytime a women's waist is .7 of her hips or greater it would be considered an hourglass figure.

    @Juliebelanger22 by the formula above you would be a perfect hourglass for your size.

    This .7 ratio also has been found to be what men are attracted to world wide, across all ages (studies included ages from 10-90).

    I looked this up earlier this week and found the 25% rule below, which is pretty close to the 70% (inverse 30%) rule quoted. Different sites use shoulder vs. bust measurements; for me, the result is the exact same thing, but it might create a different result for someone else!

    Also, "waist" in the section below is defined as tailor's waist or natural waist, generally far above "belly button waist".

    "Rectangle/Banana/Ruler/Boyish/etc. - You shoulder and hip measurement are within 5% of each other and you waist is less than 25% less than the larger of the other two
    Inverted Triangle - Your shoulders are more than 5% larger than your hips
    Triangle/Pear - You hips are more than 5% larger than your shoulders
    Hourglass - You shoulder and hip measurement are within 5% of each other and your waist is at least 25% less than the larger of the other two"
