You look hourglass to me. The waist to hip ratio is hourglass with a 10 inch difference, you have a bust, and your shoulders take you out of pear territory. Waist would have to be like 28" to be rectangle. You are lucky to be so slim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-help-request#post-322140 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 05:12:54 +0000 Kate 322140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going with hourglass, you don't need to have huge boobs to be one. I think those dressing guidelines will do you the most good, and help you to accentuate your curves! And for what it's worth, I wouldn't call you flat chested. Have you had a bra fitting recently, or checked out the threads about the correct bra sizing? You may have a much larger cup size than you think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-help-request#post-322139 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 05:06:00 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 322139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say hourglass with rectangle tendencies. Definitely not a pear - remember pear is hip to shoulder ratio, not hip to bust.</p> <p>PS - you have a great little figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-help-request#post-322138 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 04:59:54 +0000 Nadya 322138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From your measurements you might be a pear, since your hips are a tiny bit bigger than your bust. But in your pic you seem well-balanced :-). Maybe an hourglass with a secondary of pretty pear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-help-request#post-322137 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 04:57:12 +0000 chewyspaghetti 322137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Lyn- you look like a straightish hourglass to me. Look at both hourglass and rectangle guidelines for tips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-help-request#post-322131 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 04:18:02 +0000 lyn* 322131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I don't think you're a rectangle since you do have a waist, like you pointed out. I'd say hourglass, secondarily rectangle. Your top and bottom are about the same size. But I will defer to the expertise of others </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-help-request#post-322125 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 04:10:49 +0000 Girl X 322125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I promise, this 'outfit' never ever leaves the house!</p> <p>I always assumed I was a rectangle but was recently informed that I'm not since I (might) have a defined waist. Hourglasses always seem to have boobs, so that's out. A pear, maybe? An apple? Possibly some other delicious fruit? Frankly, I still think I'm probably a rectangle.</p> <p>If it helps, my measurements are: 32.5" bust, 24.5" waist, 34" hips. 64" tall, 32" inseam. </p> <p><a href="http://www.gurgleslurp.com/fashion/BodyType.gif" rel="nofollow">http://www.gurgleslurp.com/fashion/BodyType.gif</a></p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Challene </p>
