Hi Breonna

Wow 5 babies. I’m impressed. Body shape is really about finding clothes that work for you. The best place to start then is to focus on what issues you’re having.

How I envy you Veronique.

A smaller rack gives you so much more options with tops. Particularly with higher necklines and different sorts of tops. This is a good thing. It gives your more option to play with different looks.

Hi Lisa!

Yes, visually it’s more of an hourglass.
The problem with clothes is my upper half. Whilst I may ‘look’ balanced from the front, and maintain a small waist – the same goes for the bust. My biggest challenge is downplaying my stomach, due to lack of bust to visually put things in “proportion”. I suppose, a “Monroe” body, minus the rack! (She was a 36-24-37) :}

Oh, also I forgot to add, I’m 5’1 and 123 lbs, usually 105 lbs. My shoulders measure 37 inches as well. I am 36 c cup, well d now that I’m nursing. Could I be a pear? Can those shapes have flatter and wider bottoms. My bottom can get very slim and rounder when I workout.

Hi, I just had a baby, my 5th 3 wks ago. I use to measure (pre pregnancy) 36/24/37 and now I’m a 37/29/38… What shape am I? I use to think hourglass, but my booty is wide and flatter if I don’t exercise but my bust is huge and my waist has always been tiny. I always thought hourglasses had to have a more rounder bottom. I’m confused

Hi Veronique

From your measurements you sound like a pear but visually you look fairly proportionate to me. What sort of issues are you having with clothes? If there’s no issue then it doesn’t matter.

Finally! Some expert advice :}
I’ve been quite puzzled by my measurements for the longest of time. All online “quizzes” and calculators tell me that I must be a pear, but I quite doubt that.
Visually, I have quite broad shoulders and tend to carry weight round my middle. Here is a (terrible) picture: http://i43.tinypic.com/30iuxd0.jpg
And my measurements…

Shoulders: 32
Bust: 30
Waist: 24
Hips: 36

Thank you so much!
You rock xo

Hi Katrina

I’d say an hourglass.

Hi Danielle

Not sure what you’re asking me. You seem fairly proportionate from your measurements, so I guess an hourglass.
