Rachel,
Do you really have 32 inch hips! ? That must make you the slimmest hipped on YLF (of those who have revealed these measurements:-) How tall are you
You definately do not look like a rectangle as you have a defined waist.
I think hourglass, possibly with pear leanings

Hourglass! You have a nice defined waist and your shoulders and hips are perfectly proportioned.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm surprised I'm an hourglass since my waist/hip ratio seemed to suggest otherwise, lol.

Yep, 82cm; that's 32 inch right? I'm only 5'2.5"

Rachel, can I ask where you are measuring your hips? I ask because years ago I used to think I was supposed to measure around my hipbones, but you should actually be measuring around the fullest part of your bottom. 32" would be unusual though I suppose not impossible. At my smallest which was 95 pounds and a butt like a pancake, I was still 35".

Ah, I was measuring a bit below the hip bone, which wouldn't have been low enough.
I've re-measured now, and the widest I get to is 86cm, approx 34". Is that a decent value? I'm pretty short, so maybe that has something to do with it.
