Apple, pear, hour glass? Which one are you?

I always wondered what I was, so last week I looked it up. I am a strawberry. Bigger on top, not in a good way. I have wide shoulders and small hips. Now that I know, it is all I see when looking in the mirror.

I'm an apple working my way to strawberry.

Apple. My gut will be the last thing to go. It has never been flat, either, and I would love to figure out if there's a way to make that happen.

i'm have a banana. wait... what are we talking about??

There, fixed it for ya... :flowerforyou:

I'm pretty sure I'm a pear? (Measurements are 33-23-34).
I think hourglass is the most attractive!

With those measurements you are an hourglass luv, always love you for what you are!!! :flowerforyou:

My shape is FIRE PLUG! Short and made of cast iron. I think all shapes can be beautiful.

:flowerforyou: Definitly, the dragon fruit... Short and oval....
Too funny...

I'm an apple! Have you ever noticed that on TV programs that help people dress they always help the people who are pear shaped or hour glass shape? What abou the poor Apples?! or is there no way to dress to hide a big old belly? I don't think I've ever seen them help out banana shaped people either though so perhaps its not just apples that miss out?! :laugh:

I struggle with finding clothes to fit me (I'm an apple with a big shelf booty), especially jeans. Jeans that fit in the waist are so huge in the legs that I look like I'm wearing the MC Hammer pants. I've relegated myself to the fact that I'm going to have a mild muffin top no matter what now. :frown:

Gok wan helps apple shapes in his show! You just need to focus on making sure your jeans have enough flare to them to even out your shoulders and make your stomach look smaller. Also, I find low-cut tops distract attention away from my stomach, but that might not be the best method! :laugh: (Also, go for things that look tailored like button down shirts and blazers.) Ok, I'll shut up now.

I always go for flare or boot cut jeans and tops that help balance me out. I have very narrow shoulders, big boobs, shelf butt, and a belly.

Low cut tops do wonders for apple shapes. Totally agree!

Blazers would be perfect for you then, if you have narrow shoulders. I don't! Even at my smallest, my mother in law said "Wow, for someone who's lost so much weight, you still have such broad shoulders." As if I should try and lose that little bit of shoulder bone or something to make them smaller!

Good to know! I have to go today to buy a suit for a presentation next week. I will go look for blazers.

Thank you!

Pear! Boobs are non existent, but my hips sure aren't.

Pear!!! All the way!

Pear-ish hourglass? I've got broad shoulders to offset the hips and a narrow waist but the girls have gone away (much to my husbands great dismany!)

If you carry some weight in your arms; You are definitely an hour glass!

Which is why this hourglass (40.25-31-40.25) would like to be a pear. My upper arm is ginormous and since I'm shorter all the pictures that get taken of me with other people cut me off right across the chest (34E) and fattest part of my arm. Makes me look easily 30 lbs heavier. AND I'm getting married in September in a strapless gown which thankfully de-emphasizes the chest a little but my under arm back flab looks terrible in it. Plus since I turned 30 I have this pooch on my stomach that is very resistant . Its really hard to find clothes that don't make me look like a brick. However I have all these pear friends losing weight and they just have these teeny tiny petite shoulders and arms that lose weight. So jelly....:grumble:

For those having trouble determining their shape, I found this online: :flowerforyou:

I'm somewhere between an hourglass and a pear (more likely a pear since my hips are a fair bit bigger than my boobs) - my measurements are 40.5" - 33.75" - 46"
