I always thought I was an apple, really, but found a calculator you put actual measurements into and it came up with that.

So carrot shaped, essentially.

Anyone else shaped like that?

I'm a bloody spoon, which I contest. I prefer "hourglass", thank you very much. But I do have a hip shelf. Which I hate.

supernannyisace · 25/04/2012 11:30

hah!!

I am a fucking spoon too!

Can't wait to tell DH - he thinks I am a body obsessed weiry as it is Grin

Straight. How dull. Leek, I suppose.

NeedToSleepZZZ · 26/04/2012 19:13

i would be seriously annoyed if I came back as an oval or diamond shape... they look like the outlines of some kind of gastropods.... Grin

SnapesOnAPlane · 26/04/2012 19:27

I'm a spoon.
Hmm
I suppose that's rather accurate...
Any clothing recommendations, fellow spoons?

Do you measure round your boobs or under them?

HumphreyCobbler · 26/04/2012 19:54

I bet I am an inverted triangle. Don't want to measure as will be depressed, but have large boobs, wide shoulders and skinny legs and bum. Does that sound right?

And if so, what should I wear?

i'm a straight and kept typing in a smaller waist until it came up with hourglass - turns out i would have to have a 24 inch waist in order to be hourglass! pretty unrealistic

im an apple shape but came out as straight. (rectangle)

what a confidence booster!

Meglet · 26/04/2012 20:20

Straight.

I've upped my visits to the gym this month, so might get more waist definition in the not too distant future.

musttidyupmusttidyup · 26/04/2012 20:57

Assuming measuring round boobs I'm straight too. But I'm sure I'm an apple. Barrel on legs me.

anewyear · 29/04/2012 12:45

another inverted triangle here..

lydonsmum · 15/05/2012 13:44

thought I was an apple, but measurements say Hourglass ...

sugarice · 15/05/2012 13:50

I'm a spoon, well I've never been called that before. Wink

rainbow2000 · 15/05/2012 13:56

My body shape is unavailable bit like the rest of me.

Itsjustafleshwound · 15/05/2012 13:56

Could this be because this is an American based site??

TruthSweet · 15/05/2012 17:44

I am a pear - but then I knew that. I have always been a pear even in my 33-23-38 days (more like 43-34-46 now but then I am 22w pg!) as I have broad hips and small shoulders and tyrannosaurus rex armsGrin

NomadsLand · 15/05/2012 19:33

I found this shape calculator on a great new activewear website called:

www.stateofmindactive.com

Click on the link to their "Shape My Size" feature here:

www.stateofmindactive.com/shapemysize-s/1822.htm

Click on the link above and then press "TRY IT" - it's a fun little app on their website where you put in your measurements and it will tell you what shape you are and what clothes you should wear. I'm a rectangle! Eugh!

Good luck!

Yummymummyyobe1 · 12/06/2012 20:04

I always thought I was an hourglass but am in fact straigt. xx

Dancergirl · 12/06/2012 20:08

I'm an inverted triangle which I knew. I HATE my broad shoulders. Does anyone know what I should be wearing?

AWomanCalledHorse · 12/06/2012 20:09

Truth, T-rex arms made me giggle!

I'm an hourglass, always hated it as trends just don't suit my body!

Arunica80 · 17/09/2023 16:02

I'm a combination of pear, hourglass and inverted triangle 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have boobs bigger than my hips, wide shoulders but curvy hips with saddlebags

Arunica80 · 17/09/2023 17:32

lindyloo57 · 17/09/2023 17:36

How did you find this thread. It's 11 years old!

The calculator linked early on doesn't even exist anymore 😂
