Body type questions

How do you correctly measure the widest part of your hips? Should I be measuring my butt along with this measurement or not?

Right now I am getting 35 (around my shoulders) 33 (bust) 24(waist) 35 hips. 36 (including my butt). I will be posting pictures as soon as I can get some good ones, but what do you think my body type is based on those measurements?

Hi, BMR. You should definitely be measuring around your widest part- that is, whatever place will give you the largest measurement. For most of us, that would include the bum! (Definitely does for me...;)

Hmm, we really need to see a pic to be sure, but you could either be an hourglass or a pear. I think measurements are not always accurate, and it's often how someone "reads" that pushes them into one category or another. For instance, my shoulders match my hips perfectly in terms of measurement, but most ladies here determined me to be a pear when I first posted pics. I think I read as a pear, probably because of my v. curvy thighs.

So show us your pics!
