Am I really a pear?

anne

My body shape has changed somewhat in the months since I first asked that question here - so I am asking for a recount.
Here are the unflattering pictures - in one of the side profile ones I am holding my tummy in, the other not - but I'm not sure which is which!
I am not wearing a padded bra, which I often do
Approxmate measurements
Shoulder 39
Bust 33-34
Waist 29-30
Hip 37

You are definitely looking more hourglass-y, Anne. You look great.

Thanks! Interesting! I was prompted to ask by 2 things
1. I have been buying the same size on the bottom as top now
2. I was fiddling around on an automated body type thing on Wardrobe 911 and it asked me to measure my shoulders, which I hadn't done before (mind you it said my body type was "undefined" ie didn't fit any of those categories)

But I don't feel so bottom heavy, I reckon in the side profile pictures I look more like a rectangle or apple, so I was surprised by the what everyone said!

Hi Anne, I just want to say that your new jeans fit you really well. You look great from all angles.

Anna, you look fantastic! I also think you look very hourglassy - and you have such a perky bum! Mine is flat as a pancake after birthing two babies....

Anne! Your body is just melting! You look great. I also don't think you look all that pearish.

Shana and Tam, thanks for the compliment - actually I was feeling rather down about the fact that I haven't lost all the baby weight yet and about what Patience wittily called "front contours". So you are all cheering me up.

Shana I have always had a curvy bum - but I think it has flattened somewhat

Tam, we had a big discussion on changing your body shape a while back

Here are a couple of my original photos (that was before the "wear jeans" thing came in)

As you can see I wasn't an extreme, stereotypical Trinny-esque pear - with narrow shoulders, skinny arms and wide hips.
Also, that was 3 months after my 3rd baby so there would always be changes in the intervening months.
I think pregnancy etc has broadened my rib cage a little, as well as thickened the waistline. I have been doing weights a little but I doubt in the amount necessary to build much shoulder muscle!

Thanks Maya and Eva - we must have been writing simultaneously
