What body shape do you wish you had? (Lighthearted)

[MadSprocker]

I am an hourglass figure, and would love to be boyish shaped and would love to wear shirts without the buttons popping open, or tops, without looking two sizes bigger because of my norks! I do love how the boob waist hip ratio makes my waist look small. How about you?

Reading this thread has made me realise that I'm actually happy with my shape. I'm a well-proportioned hourglass, with decent boobs, a small waist and curvy hips.

Sadly, it's all buried under a good two stone of excess fat

So, onwards with the diet.

I would like to be maybe two inches taller - all added to my legs. It has been years since I have been able to wear shorts in the summer as although I am slim I have podgy knees. I have to be careful not to develop cankles too (can they be prevented?)

Fashions change don't they? It's only in the last year or so that I have thought it would be nice to have a big shapely bum.

I'd also like to be straight up and down- I'm somewhere between a pear and an hourglass- narrow shoulders but big chest, small waist and wide hips/thighs. Even at my slimmest I never looked especially slim, and nobody seems to make clothes for anything other than a boyish figure.

I'm a tall hourglass - smaller boobs and thighs that don't meet that's what I want. I can diet to get smaller boobs but even with a BMI of 20 I still had thigh rub!

I like my pear shape but need to drop a couple of stone. What I would like is longer legs as they are short relative to body length.

I'm hourglass. I've recently discovered that shirts from Oasis are made to fit this shape. They fit my waist AND boobs and no gaping buttons.

Yes to sudden increase in waist size after 40. I am completely lazy, and could probably do something about it if I got off my arse.

I love peapple and think that's what I am now too! I am pear shaped from the front but an apple from the side iyswim; large of nork and tum but have a bit of a waste and my widest part is my hips. Think I'm happy enough too actually, though need to lose a little weight post-baby she's actually a toddler now but still.

better legs please
I'm not that slim ATM (5'9", size 14), but even when I was a size 10 I had heavy thighs and cankles. Much heavier women than me look much better in skirts.

I'm a slightly pear-shaped hourglass...

I keep imagining what it's like to read these self descriptions as someone who isn't familiar with the whole apple-pear-hourglass categorisation, we all sound totally nuts.

Anyway, I am happy with my body shape. The only minor things I would change would be to firm up my boobs to pre-baby bounciness (now they're like wibbly unset jelly) and to generally tone up my muscles.

I've been told I'm "skinny-fat"... as in, I am a size 8, 22 BMI, but about 34% body fat!

I'd happily trade my slim (ok, slightly mum tummed now) waist for slim legs. Much easier to wear and shop for loose tops/tunics and leggings/skinny jeans than have to worry about size of thighs/calves and cankles.

I am a long waisted pear shape with a bit of a Mum tum. Would ideally like bigger boobs (the same size), slightly narrower hips and a smaller bum, or at least to be less long waisted as this makes my bum look bigger than it is. I would also like slimmer thighs. Cause of my bum and thighs I dont really wear trousers apart from leggings under skirts and dressed. I need to tone up really but never seem to get enough time. O and I would like to have firmer upper arms and be about two inches taller. The only things I am happy with the shape of are my lower legs (which are slim) and my face which is also slim but looks too thin if I lose too much weight - I cannot win
