Hourglass or pear??:S

lady-rach

Hello I've never been completely sure of my body shape.
I'm 37-30-40 and 5 ft3. I am quite bottom heavy but don't have very slim arms like pears are suppose to have plus my shoulders are the same width as my hips. I now think I could be a bottom heavy hourglass. Even when I'm more slimmer my hips are never any less than 38/39 inches. Any suggestions?

I think your best bet is to post a picture of yourself in form fitting clothes if you can- it's easier to tell body shape from a piccie x Note from your profile you in staffs is that as in staffordshire uk?

I am currently trying to lose some weight. I would love to have a slimmer upper back and slimmer arms. Surley this isn't something a woman with a pear shape figure would worry about?

You look hourglass- y, with pretty pear tendencies. And you have a gorgeously tight and delicous bottom!

Thanks for the lovely compliment Angie!! It made me grin as well and has made my week:) It was because of my bum that I thought for years I thought I was pear shaped but after looking at my pictures on Facebook I was having second thoughts haha.

Glad to hear it! A day without laughter is a wasted day :0).

Yup. I'd play up that shapely bottom with a fab pair of jeans.

I think you might be a pear shape, but subtly so. In some of the photos, I thought your hips were broader than your shoulders but in others it was hard to tell. Your proportions seem to be somewhere between hourglass and pear.
