    A picture would be a lot better than measurements.

    Also, "hourglass is borderline apple"? Seriously? They look nothing whatsoever alike. If they did, an hourglass wouldn't even be remotely functional.

    think of the shape of an hourglass, bigger on top, skinny in the waist and bigger in the hips/butt thigh area. a pear is more skinny at the top and heavier from the waist down. then again its all in the eye of the person doing the looking too.

    People like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe were famous hourglasses. People with those figures usually aren't too self-conscious to show people, so I would automatically assume you're a pear.

    The good news is that you've found a great site for getting exactly the figure you'd like to achieve.

    Your body shape: Banana or Straight

    Banana, or straight (rectangular)
    Banana-shaped women's waist measurement is less than 9 inches smaller than the hip or bust measurement.

    Not exactly true a woman can be 200+ pounds and still be hourglass shape, Im talking about body shape/ frame not how fit I am.

    Well your numbers do show that you're a pear but I think its more accurate to tell it by how you look in the mirror & silhouette. Basically if your hips is wider than your shoulders with a small chest & with a smaller waist, your considered a pear.

    you could be an hourglass underneath the overweight. for years, i appeared as a ruler (measurements as well) , but now that i'm losing weight, i'm becoming more and more of an hourglass. the thing with hourglass is that we tend to gain weight all over equally, which very easily can make it appear as rectangles. but in weight loss, we tend to lose quickest from the abs and then at a slower rate on the upper and lower body.

    and sorry that makes no sense that hourglass figures cant be self conscious. anyone can be self conscious about their body, regardless of heir shape or size

    On the numbers you give for bust, waist and hips, hourglass or straight, but you add that you're 44 around your bum: that's your real hip measurement - the widest point. Waist is another that is often measured incorrectly - it should be just below your navel, which is only your narrowest point if you are lean. If like most of us you are carrying a bit of belly fat, you are probably narrow near your chest than at your waist.

    You don't have a large difference between your measurements and a pear would have huge hips dear so you instead have a nice gentle proportionate curve. Since you are 38-33-39 (you use your largest bust measurement as the first #) I would say you're a Rectangle shape because you're proportioned, yet petite. :] It sounds bad (rectangle?! Who picked that name! lol) , but it doesn't mean you have no hips/bust..that is more like apple who have a big waist. You are like a smaller version of hourglass. I hope that helps some. xoxo The only reason you're not hourglass is because you need a 9-10 inch or more difference between your bust and waist and your hips and waist. Your bust and hips/toosh, at the same time, must be within 2 inches of each other. For example..36-24-36 (12 inch difference plus 36-24=2)
    My measurements are large hourglass:
    Bust: 44.5
    Waist:34
    Hips: 44.5

    (bigger at the moment since I just ate 7 square greasy slices of pizza, a stuffed shell and cheese fries LOL)

    So it is about a 10 inch and 11 inch difference with no more than a 2 inch difference between hips and bust even though the two examples are so different in size. When I was thin I stayed hourglass with measurements of about 40-28-41. Some people change shape as they gain or lose weight.. To understand more you could read this stuff I copied from a website lol >

    Hourglass Shape: This is considered as one of the best female body shapes. Where the bust and hips measurements would be almost the same circumference, though the bust can be ‘one inch’ larger than the hips. The waist would be much smaller. A perfect hourglass shape is where the difference between the ‘waist and the bust’ and ‘waist and hips’ is at least ‘nine inches’.

    Pear or Spoon Shape: If there is a wide difference in measurements between the hips and bust and hardly any between the chest and waist. Hips are ‘two inches’ or more larger than the bust and waist is less than 9.25″ smaller than the bust.

    Ruler(Rectangle) Shape: If there is hardly any difference in the measurements of waist, bust and hips. The waist is less than ‘nine inches’ smaller than the bust.

    Conical(Triangle) Shape: Normally where the bust and waist are same but the hips are ‘at least nine inches smaller’ than the chest. The standard measurement is, bust 3.6″ or larger than the hips and the waist less than 9″ smaller than the bust.

    Apple Shape: If the waist measures larger compared to the hip and chest.

    Yea hun you use your largest points on your bust and hips and your smallest on your waist..it is like you get to cheat a little. Lol but that is how it is supposed to be done. So your largest bust line you said is 38, your largest hip would be around your hip and behind and then of course your waist..use your "natural waistline" which is when you bend to the side wherever your tummy naturally bends inward is your natural waistline.
    38-33-44 from what youve said so far. Id vote Pear, which is a beautiful shape. I keep praying I keep my big hips!

    I like how they call a pear shape a spoon and a bell (Pear, Spoon, or Bell (triangle upward)). Made me giggle. :D I'm totally going to start saying I'm spoon shaped LOL.
