What is my body shape?

I would also go with inverted-V shape. A true hourglass is supposed to have 10 inches between the hips/bust and the waist measurement. You can stil have some curves and be an inverted-V and a rectangle.

The principle is that you want to emphasize or down play certain areas and the shape guidelines tells you what tricks will work for you. Thats all it really means. If you want to dress as if you are an hourglass, it may not be the most flattering look but you are welcome to do so. :flowerforyou:

I came up with the same conclusion as you for the same reasons.
But she doesn't want to be "inverted v". she wants us to say "hourglass".

ts just how some people are saying it makes it sound un desirable and I don't even have a straight up and down figure, wtf? I was curious what I was classified as and my mom basically told me my waist is fat because I'm like 30 pounds overweight.

Damn I should just stick to asking my mom. I remember why I hate people. :laugh:

In to learn how undesirable my body shape is. :frown:

You sound similar to my measurements: bust 36.5, waist 27, hips 34. I consider myself inverted triangle

Some online calculators will say apple, banana, or hourglass though.... so really we are one of those weird shapes that don't totally fit in to the 'norm'. It's okay though, who wants to be normal :P

The definition for hourglass though tends to be that bust and hips are the same and the waist is 10 inches smaller. By this definition I (and you) are not really an hourglass shape cause our hips are too small oh well, pear shaped people envy us at least lol :P

Okay, then the answer is whatever your mother said, or, alternately the answer is whichever answer will make you feel better. Feel better now?

Seriously, nobody is trying to make it sound undesirable.

no kidding. I'm either an inverted v or rectangle.

don't ask if you don't want an answer. and call a wahmbulance for that butthurt.

I've frightened my husband with how much I hate my hips. Even "hourglass" people don't always like their shape. But, I feel that one should hopefully learn to love their shape in the same way they should love their brain, their strengths, and even their weaknesses.

Because someone else might envy your a., b., or c. shouldn't be the way to confidence :[

I was just making a joke! lol... wow. You don't seriously think I gain my confidence from small hips do you? lol.

Rulerish apple, yeah that's a type right.

And no you are not an hourglass, that needs at least 10+ inches between waist and bust/hips and the bust and hips need to be even or within an inch of each other.

Can I go on your mean people list now please and thank.

Sorry I'm a n00b here.. don't judge if I posted it in the wrong sub forums!

My bust is 36, waist is 29 and hips 33 (when measured with centimeters and converted to inches)
When measured with inches I'm a bust 38, waist 30, and hips 34.


I'm also 5"2 and 153 pounds with a medium build.

Here is a website that helped me determine mine, I'm a banana.

I think you are also a banana. We have the same waist size. My bust is smaller than my hips, however.

My bust is 34.5

My hips are 37.5

However considering that you also included weight and height may also mean that the results of this calculator may not be correct for either of us, as I did not take that into account.

I am 5'7" and 129 lbs

An inverted triangle, or V shape, has more to do with the width of your shoulders than your bust. A big bust and not so tiny waist is an apple.

Less than 11% of the population is an hourglass figure. Sorry to burst your bubble. But maybe with some squats to up youir hip measurement, and some weight loss to lower your waist, you could be an hourglass. Assuming your boobs stay the same.

This. At 41-31-41, I am (and always have been, at different sizes smallest being 37-27-37) an hourglass. OPs hips are too small and waist a touch big.

I would also like to be on the mean person list now.

Buying clothes is a pain, though. You may have the upper hand on this one OP.

Exactly the same measurements as I have! Buying clothes can be tough for any shape though

Show your pic. That makes it easier than just reading 3 numbers (or 6, based on the math problems in the OP).

Me too, even though I fit the perfect definition of an hourglass. Bust and hips the same, waist 11" smaller.

sounds suspiciously human to me

I'm not sure I think I might actually be lamp...

I was kind of just looking for a picture of OP and then would just judge based on that? Measurements.... it doesn't really matter. If you like what you see in the mirror, that's what matters.
