What body type am I? (pictures included)

AlexSue

Hi Angie!

I was wondering what body type I am. I'm fairly petite (5'4", small shoulders), but I'm large busted (32dd) and have wide hips and athletic thighs, so I have trouble finding clothes that fit. My measurements are bust-36.5", waist-27.5", hips-38". Sorry if the pictures don't show my figure well; I couldn't find a lot of body shots.

The gals are spot on. Welcome deliciously hourglass-y Alex Sue. I rest my case. It's precisely your type of bod that rocks a frock!

AlexSue

Thanks Angie! Do you have any articles about hourglass shapes? I see one for pears and one for rectangles, but no hourglass.
