Interesting website for those questioning their body type!

DeannDeann

I found this website on a blog about pear shapes :]]. It asks you to measure a whole lot of things and then tells you what your body type is from all those measurements.
I would like to point out that I have always been told I'm a pear, but after all those exhausting measurements this says I am an s-shape. So ladies, if you check it out, let me know if it's accurate for you or not!

Edit to add:
Can't believe I forgot the link.

Ha! Heleen...if it is, it didn't work for me. Apparently I am one of the "very small percentage" of women whose body types are not classifiable!! WTF??????

Honestly, that's just ridiculous. Based on a measly 3 measurements, too. Do I really look THAT bizarre? I think not.

She says, grumpily.

HAHAHAHA Suz, when I went on that site it said the same thing. Maybe something's wrong with it right now?

I just went through it all & it came up with my shape as "A"

It does seem to be more accurate than my usual assumption of Hourglass or even Straight. Interesting.

I don't know -I don't know -I don't know!!!
I thought I was a Wrecktangle --the Shopyourshape site says, with measurements inserted, that I am a Pear--and I don't even know what to choose for Myshape but can eliminate the"P" and "S" at least.

What does every letter correlate to? It says I'm an S. I always considered myself an Hourglass tending towards Pear (I have a shapely rear ;P ).

V - I don't really know what the letters correlate to, but my best guess is a Y is an inverted triangle, an A is a pear, an H is a rectangle, a P is an apple, and the S is an hourglass. There are more letters though and I can't even guess what those would be.

Fail. Says I'm an S. I even reduced my bust measurement and it still says that.

(I'm a small busted pear FWIW)

MyShape closed down as an internet merchant who keeps staff and inventory. But it looks like they sold their website functionality and they are using it as a way to sell other internet merchant's inventory, like that of Herroom.

When they were in business, the clothes they matched me with were not always flattering. Some of them were cute though. I got a couple of Karen Kane blouses I like.

Those sites with algorithms that claim to tell you something you don't know about yourself, in other words they know you better than you know yourself, have not impressed me. Another one like this was Sole Society which makes you do a quiz to determine your style type. Well, the shoes they matched me up with were dreadful; never in a million years!
