Lost a lot of weight but can’t tell what shape I am?

It’s either a pear or hourglass or somewhere in between ?

What responses are you looking for? Not much to go on there...

Congratulations on your weight loss. You need to take your waist, hip and bust measurements, that should clear things up.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 21/08/2019 14:04

The difference between pear and hourglass is to do with bust size. If you are about the same around the boobs as the hips with a much smaller waist then you are hourglass. If you're smaller around the boobs than the hips then you are pear shaped.

Why do you need to know?

Depends on how toned you are too. Sometimes an apple shape can look like a pear shape when there’s a really saggy tummy or boobs / love handles.

I’m not sure those things are that accurate?!
I’m a 32 F bust
A waist of 28
And hips of about 37!
I’m not pear shaped at all!

What other shapes are there? Grin

MmeBufo · 21/08/2019 18:14

@withlotsoflove it's the overbust rather than underbust measurement you'd use for determining body shape.

32f should make you about a 39 overbust. That's pretty similar to your hip measurement and your waist is significantly smaller. You sound like a classic hourglass.

withlotsoflove I'm brick shaped

Oh, that’s true Mme - l’m silly! Blush

Hool
Is that a thing? 🙂

withlotsoflove · 21/08/2019 19:05

Oh! So it is... l didn’t realise there were so many! Grin

withlotsoflove · 21/08/2019 19:12

Actually, apparently l am a vase as my figure is not as pronounced as an hourglass!
I have slim legs/ thighs and not such a prominent bum!
Ha! Who knew...
Well at least l can get help with clothes shopping!
