I promise, this 'outfit' never ever leaves the house!

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.

If it helps, my measurements are: 32.5" bust, 24.5" waist, 34" hips. 64" tall, 32" inseam.

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

I'm with Lyn- you look like a straightish hourglass to me. Look at both hourglass and rectangle guidelines for tips.

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?

I'd say hourglass with rectangle tendencies. Definitely not a pear - remember pear is hip to shoulder ratio, not hip to bust.

PS - you have a great little figure!

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!

Hello Challene and welcome to the forum! 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!
