i have 34/24/34 figure..but i hate my legs ever!!!!my asset is my hips..i dont wear shorts or skirts i just hate it coz its not good for me... huhuh i love to wear it!but i can't!=(
I think I'm a banana! :P but my body is kind of odd because I have a waist but it's almost invisible and that makes me look sometimes fat but I have really thin arms and also pretty thin legs. One class mate of me is definitly a banana but she has really thin legs!
So I notice that a LOT of females are saying they are an hourglass....Nope...a lot of y'all aren't that think you are. ONLY 8% of the female population is an hourglass. Your shoulders (not your bust size even though they usually do) and hips should be almost the same with a waist about 10 inches smaller than your shoulder and hip measurements. For example...42 inch shoulders... 34 DD bra size, a 32 inch waist, and 42 1/2 inch hips is an hourglass. Go to besleek.com and try their calculator.
@TheKickasses im 22 :p but its really good to be in shape ... Btw ur weight is good for ur hight I dropped down to 56 now and I feel it takes away my butt loool that's y I think 60 is the perfect weight even better staying the same weight but shaping ur body with abit of working our :D hope I helped :D I work out by just walking moving around :p
@belfnelfmania yeah it's interesting how it works, i'm a petite pear and i (stereotypically) don't have much bust, but Beyonce for example has a massive bust but still a pear. i love that we're all unique in our own way!! :)
The definition of 'hourglass' is only relative I think (which in fact is true for all of them anyway). According to measurements I am a rather strongly defined hourglass (waist 67% of breast/hips measurement); nevertheless I look banana.
I don't know what size i am...i think I'm a pear, but my breasts aren't small. Probably like a C or a D or something like that. I tend to gain weight more in my thighs, or hips, not in the stomach. I'm guessing I'm a pear shaped. I think?
i'm 4'11 1/2 tall , bust 36D , waist 34 ,hips 40 . i get blotted due to IBS and ME/CFS so my dress size can change with in hours going for a size 10 to a 14 this leave me with a big tummy :(
i think i might be an hour glass would this be right ?
okay i liked ur video but i just cant find what fits me ...around 2 years ago i was anarexic i was 165 cm and 45kg!! now i gaind some waight im 60 kg my body type is pear but with broad sholders and size 32b bust cant find a pikenee that showes my shape nice ... if any one can help plz tell :(
@Angle66Essence during my research for this vid I discovered Trinny and Susannah books about body shape and clothes, they are really awesome, distinguish between 12 different body shapes and give tips for perfect clothes ... check them out I am sure this will help
@Angle66Essence hi, nice to hear you are back in shape, my height and weight is exactly like yours, bust size 34b, you are pear shape, welcome to the club :) depends how old are you, i like to shed a few kilos 5 exactly but my bust will get smaller first and i don't like that, i a m pretty happy right now with how i look but i need to pig out less and get in routine of training again, you know bikini test hihihi in summer pupupu
@Angle66Essence wow, sorry for the 1-yr-later comment but wow, i felt like you just described me. i used to be 46-47 kg, 168 cm. also, i'm confused if i'm pear-shaped or square bec my shoulder's width balances the hip width. o_o?
@seravisensei same here my shoulders are wide also balances with my hips lost weight again X___X since the last post XD 55 kg now naa where a pear shaped XD cause we got them hips :P some pears shoulders are not wide but even with wide we still is pears :D
As a very petite hourglass, I agree that hourglasses don't have to be soft-all-over, Rubenesque types. I'm 5'4" and a size 2-4 (depending on the store), and heck! But I have to disagree that hourglass figures are the easiest to fit. Unfortunately, the hourglass figure is the least common of all figures, especially today. The fashion industry doesn't design for the likes of us, but for the pear or banana shape. If they bring 40's/50's fashion back, maybe THEN I'll find clothes to fit me!
I have an Apple type body and im 14 and i wear whatevers comfortable on me.See people should just wear whats comfortable and not becouse its stylish,I love wearing Skinny jeans and some skinny girls say that it looks better on them well it looks good on any type of body to me:o:)
i think i'm an hour glass...my bust and hip are almost same :( i have a broad shoulder and have a large hip.....sucks!! it's really hard to find the jeans that really fits me because if i wear smaller size that fits my waist, my hip and thigh is too tight and if i wear it to my hip then my waist is loose.....:(
Their problem areas tend to be the backs of the upper arms, the inner and outer thighs and the saddlebag region (just below the hips on the outside of the upper thigh). Some Hourglasses tend to put on weight around the lower portion of their abdominal region, which tends to add to their hip measurement. Most Hourglasses put on weight easily in both upper and lower regions and must be very careful not to add weights or resistance to their workouts.
wow u totally hit that on the nail im also an hour glass shape :) l i have muscular calves and i notice i bulk up pretty fast if i do heavy weights im verrrry flexible and i never knew y l...um i love running but i think thats for a entirely different reason and omg i hateeee my thighs lol that is def my prob area (including my hips)but yeah this was very insightful thanks :) didnt know how lucky i was as far as health issues are concerned ..
Also, sports or movements that require both upper- and lower-body strength are easier for Hourglasses than for other body types. For very slim Hourglasses, jogging or running can be enjoyable, but for most, it is uncomfortable. They also tend to have good (sometimes excellent) flexibility throughout their entire body and generally do not have back problems because their abdominals are naturally strong. They have tapered legs and small ankles, though their calves may be muscular.
Hourglasses are fortunate because they typically have strong bones and good muscle tone and are less susceptible to osteoporosis than other body types. As a group, senior Hourglasses have fewer fractures resulting from falls; they are built for high-contact and impact sports that require power, strength and speed.
I `m an hourglass. Only 7% arte hourglasss - most are women are pear, burt think they are an hourglass because of curvy hips. but arms, shoulders and legs are different from pear
I thought i was a pear.. im all confused. I have a big bust but my hips are 3 inches bigger so am i a pear? or an hour glass? my waist is 10 inchs smaller than my bust, im all confused.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wtf!!! they show fat girls for the hourglass one! that's not true at all, if you have an hourglass your skinny,...WHICH IS WHY YOU CAN SEE YOUR CURVES! YOUR ALL MUSCLE! Well thats how i am, and other hourglass people!
An hourglass figure is determained by the proportions and NOT size. They have a balanced bust to waist to hip ratio. It looks like... well an hour glass. You can have these propotions/shape whether you are a 4 or 24! I do concure that this shape is easiest to dress because the propotions are already balanced as opposed to someone top heavy (me), bottom heavy or who has a thicker waist. (Hardest to dress). I'm not sure your definition of fat but you should show more respect for other people.
I agree! I am 5'3 and wear a size 0 to a size 2 and I am most definitely an hourglass. It's all about shape NOT size. I also hate how it is sometimes assumed in fashion advice that an hourglass has big hips/ass and thighs. An hourglass does not necessarily mean big hips and ass. It just means that your waist is very defined and goes in.
@Singityrara As an hour glass shape myself I assure you it isn't easy to dress! I would love to wear dresses but can't without major tailoring since most are made for pear shaped girls. Even tops are hard to find, I'm a size 18 on my bust and a 14 around my waist! You can image all the extra fabric around my waist. Pants are the same, I always have to go up a size to get it over my big old hips but then it hangs around my waist.
@ClericMitsu wow! that's interesting to know! as a pear, i can easily find tops that fit me nicely. with bottoms, i guess we're in the same boat, as pears too struggle with the same problem (small waist, big hips). i suggest you to look for tops that are tight elastic material (meaning stretchy but very fitted). also, you can buy whatever dresses and synch them in with a belt. hope that helped somewhat :)
Hourglasses can put on weight, doesn't mean you'll suddenly not distribute weight in the same way. Though i agree they shouldn't just have the biggest models showing it, and it is most defined in slimmer people, though if your incredibly tiny it would be hard to define as they'd be no weight to make the shape
? you can be fat and still have an hourglass shape.. considering there only about 8% of the population that is a true hr glass it would be hard to find a good example of this..
I have to perform in an 1860's style gown. Can you give me advice on what would look good on my hourglass figure. My measurements are 42"x 35" x 42" I'm trying to design a dress, and I'm leaning toward a ruffle running from one should to my waist. Would that help? Whatever the style I need it modest. I don't where off the should and low cuts for religious reasons.
I think after having four children, I'm a little more APPLE shape in the tummy. Any advice would be appreciated.
What am I? I don't think I have broad shoulders. Boobs are my handful size. Small waist. Big hips and legs. I sound like a pear :(
