I've had 4 kids and I only WISH I looked that smokin'! I'm new at this, but my initial thought was hourglass/pear also. I think you can't go wrong following the rules for either body type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-853190 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 07:45:22 +0000 gabriele 853190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please someone help me!!. I'm probably a hourglass but my shoulders is wider thn the hips, but i have a very beautiful waist, so who I'm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-853125 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 04:29:11 +0000 CocoLion 853125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look completely amazing Bree, what a figure. I mean when you figure 5 young children especially! You have the body of a 19 year old.</p> <p>I's confusing isn't it? My measurements are 35.5, 26", 36.5" so I get hourglass a lot. But I really feel like a pear with boobs (32DD/32D). If you look at me straight on, my widest part is my hips and thighs. That's because my boobs go front a lot. I feel like an hourglass with secondary pear -- that works for me. </p> <p>So, I follow the hourglass guidelines to dress my top half, and pear for the bottom. That might be helpful for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-853109 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 04:12:57 +0000 Bree 853109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ty Krishindoux I am very happy and proud! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851934 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 22:22:35 +0000 krishnidoux 851934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so impressed by your 5 kids! They are adorable. You must be so happy and proud.<br /> I am equally impressed by your terrific shape. I also vote hourglass. You may have measurements of a pear but your whole body type is very different. For example your hips don't come across as wide at all, but only well proportioned. Your shoulders don't look frail compare to your body, but balanced and gracious. Lucky you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851900 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:53:36 +0000 Bree 851900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Janet. That makes a lot of sense. I'm also legs and barely any torso. We sound very similar in body type. Triple DDD and E wow!!! I do believe my shoulders balance out my hips, but my lower half seems to be just a tad bit wider than my top half. For example I look silly in jeans that don't rest comfortably on my hips or at least that are higher. If I wear low rise jeans, my body looks very funny. I think I have a good handle on clothing and what looks appropriate for my body, but I like to do research and look my best. I'm in my 30's now and I don't want to fit into the category of frumpy housewife. I want to still look my best and feel sexy doing it. I guess you could say I have a Marylin spirit about me. I love the bombshell sexy, yet classy look! I think Marylin embodied that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851889 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:34:16 +0000 Janet 851889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Bree, and welcome! </p> <p>I'm also somewhere in the hourglass/pear spectrum, and I think all of this body type stuff is kind of subjective and depends on a lot more than what the measuring tape says. For instance, I've got a relatively large bust (32DDD or E) and shoulders that *almost* balance out my hips. However, I have a small ribcage/across the back measurement, a short torso relative to the length of my legs, and I have *ahem* generous thighs, so it's very easy for me to look disproportionate in the lower half unless my top half is balanced out in some way. </p> <p>I think the mirror and the camera, and the helpful words of people like the fine participants here on YLF, can be your best friends in determining what works for your body and your style. Don't put too much stock in the numbers. And have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851778 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:43:40 +0000 Bree 851778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ty qfBrenda I love being a mother of 5. I wanted one more boy, but my hubby says were done! lol... The other responses I got were hourglass with pear tendencies. I'm not really sure what that means, but it sounds good. I was never answered about what fashion advice to follow though. Do I follow the pear tips for my lower half and hourglass tips for my upper half? For instance, if I don't wear the right kind of dress and waist belt, my hips look huge! Is that because my bottom half is more like a pear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851457 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 05:15:54 +0000 qfbrenda 851457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like an hourglass to me. Your shoulders nicely balance out your hips.</p> <p>Hi from another mom of 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851397 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:55:43 +0000 Bree 851397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Sarah It's so nice to finally have some categories to fit into instead of just guessing. So what fashion should I follow? Should I follow the pear tips for dressing the bottom half and the hourglass tips for dressing the top half? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851391 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:53:04 +0000 Sarah A 851391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Id say primary hourglass and secondary pear actually... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851388 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:49:34 +0000 Bree 851388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ty very much Vicki and ty for your input. This body type stuff can be so confusing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851383 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:43:12 +0000 Vicki 851383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say you're an hourglass with secondary pear tendencies. You look marvelous and what darling children you have. I love those red booties of yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851377 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:38:34 +0000 Bree 851377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Sarah A. That's a very informative and interesting read. So does that mean my primary body type is pear and secondary, hourglass? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851364 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:31:42 +0000 Sarah A 851364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are an hourglass with pear tendencies too. too Here is a post Angie wrote: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/22/how-to-dress-the-pretty-pear-body-type-2010/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/04/.....type-2010/</a></p> <p>On the right side navigation from it you can see the other body types etc. Most people have a primary and secondary type or otherwise dont fit "neatly" into one category.

I really am a 34 D. I always thought pear as well due to my wide hips. These websites out there are so confusing! They all say pears have a small bust, but I've always had a larger one. Then on the other hand, my bottom is wide, not curvy. So confusing! So how do you dress an hourglass with pear tendencies? Does that mean I'm not one body type, but two? Sorry for all the questions </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851352 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:08:28 +0000 rae 851352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are an hourglass with some pear tendencies. You look more hourglassy in the outfits where you play up your bust, for example, and more pearish when you have a top that cuts straight across your hips. If you *feel* pearish, that may be a sign, too, that you will feel better downplaying your bottom half... sometimes it's not about "correcting" a figure so much as it is about feeling awesome. </p> <p>Can't tell 100% about the face shape, at first thought oval, but that may be because your haircut seems great at balancing it out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851210 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 01:01:23 +0000 Bree 851210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for all the pics. I just wanted to be sure of my body type. I'm going to be buying some new clothes soon for a trip back home and I want to look smoking! Also, what is my face shape? I was thinking heart. I need to know for sunglass purposes. Thank you so much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851206 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 00:58:13 +0000 Bree 851206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awe, ty ladies.

Some hourglasses are narrower than others. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851157 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 00:22:33 +0000 Raisin 851157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think measurments alone are deceiving because you can be a certain measurement and be round, or sort of broad but come in the same number. It definitely changes how you look though. Your waist looks really defined, but maybe that is the belt in the second pic. Is it that cinched without the belt? Because to me your shoulders and hips look balanced, so with a defined waist that's why I'd say hourglass. </p> <p>I'm a novice at determining the body shapes though so maybe someone else will have a better answer. Either way you look fab regardless of having 5 kids or not....but 5 kids, yah, wowza! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851153 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 00:18:38 +0000 Bree 851153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really, wow.. um I'm in shock! I did the calculator thingy on shop your shape and it said spoon. I thought maybe pear, just with big boobs. I've never gotten hourglass on the calculator thingy. It said to be classified hourglass your waist has to be 10 inches from your bust and hips. My boobs are big, but my bust measurement is only a 34.. I thought hourglass measurements were like 36-24-36? My waist is not a 24, but a 27. I'm confused. Also my bottom is wider, not bubbly like most hourglasses. Don't hourglasses have to have a bubble butt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851135 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 23:59:42 +0000 Raisin 851135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say hourglass! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-my-body-type-17#post-851132 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 23:57:03 +0000 Bree 851132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, new here I was wondering what my body type was, spoon, pear.. ect..
