I always thought I was a circle, but I'm definitely an inverted triangle with a belly. I've always been called short waisted, but using your method, I'm right in the middle. Thanks for this!

[@BusbeeStyle]

So glad this was helpful, Rebecca! ~Team Busbee

[@76482]

Perception is reality so if others have always called you short waisted even though you actually are not, then it must be something in how you dress that gives a short waisted appearance. Hopefully some of Erin's advice can help you identify the cause.

[@marleenvu8365]

@@76482 why does it matter if you’re short waisted or not? like what does that say about me what should i wear if i’m in the middle? i’m sorry to ask these questions but i’m really new to body shape and so…

[@bethsnider9639]

@@marleenvu8365 It's more about what fits you best, and what gives you the most appealing overall appearance. If you are short-waisted wearing high-rise, you will appear more "frumpy", but the same garment in a mid or low-rise results a more fitted appearance. And none of it says a thing about you as an individual. The information is about making the most of what you have! Blessings!

[@lucye7092]

everyone who is totally freaking out, saying “why is everyone and hourglass, now?”- it’s okay! simply judging by the profile pictures or names (as in names like Hellokitty345) most of these people are under 18 or even under 13! your body isn’t fully developed when you are under 18, they may not be a natural hourglass. when you hit puberty your body usually changes, these people could possibly not even have hit puberty- don’t stress because you don’t feel like you fit in, YOU ARE PERFRCT!

Also, it was very interesting putting those numbers on paper and realizing I’m too hard on myself. I always focus on how wide my hips seem when in actuality they are proportionate to my upper body. We are all unique shapes and I love how you empower us as women to dress confidently!

My measurements say I'm an hourglass, but the mirror says I'm rectangle. That because my curves can only be seen on the side. I have no hips, but I do have a bum on the back. Also my bust is the biggest of all the measurements. Just a weird mixture of things.

[@BusbeeStyle]

If you look more rectangle the trick is to make sure you define your waist. This will make you appear more hourglass. xo

[@StoryTarina]

@@BusbeeStyle I totally agree on that one. When I leave my waist loose, you only see my biggest parts so I look bigger. A line skirts and dresses are my biggest friend!

[@sarah_k_kreative]

I actually like formulas! Here they are as you laid them out: Inverted triangle: Shoulders = hips + 2 or more inches OR Bust= hips + 4 or more inches. Triangle: hips = shoulders + 2 or more inches OR hips = bust + 4 or more inches. (Fun sidenote: triangle is the MOST COMMON BODY TYPE AMONG WOMEN.) Circle: waist is greater than shoulder, bust, or hip by 2 or more inches. Rectangle: Shoulders, bust, waist and hips are *essentially* the same size. Specifically, the waist is NOT 8 inches smaller than any of the other measurements. Hourglass: Shoulders, bust, and hips are *essentially* the same size and the waist is 8 inches smaller than any of the other measurements. --Tall, petite (5'4" or shorter), and plus sizes have no impact on these body shapes.-- Long or short waisted: place hands stacked below center of your bust. If the bottom hand covers your belly button, you're short waisted. If the bottom hand reaches but doesn't cover your belly button, you're considered proportionate. If there's space from the bottom hand to your belly button, you're long waisted. Thanks @busbee style for doing this video!

[@jlbeeen]

That's where shape comes in. I've known people who have to size up because their hips are bigger than their waist measurement, or their bust doesn't fit their waist size. I usually have to size up in flannel shirts since my shoulders are wider than most women my size. With stretchy things, I can fit a smaller size shirt since my bust isn't that large, but I usually size up when things have long sleeves or more structure like a coat. It all varies.

[@eleven11three]

What am I? I have small breasts, wide upper thighs, really slim waist when viewed from the side. But I look rectangular up front from hip to bust. When I purchase pants I always have that annoying waist gap. Everything fits perfectly except the pants waist, its too wide.

Im an hourglass! Omg. Hahah my sister and mother always told me that I don't have shape. Maybe cause of my hip dips, and I don't have so much butt hahah but, I tried doing butt exercises, and grew about an inch. I want to lessen my hip dips.😊😊🙏🏻

[@smcritimishra6360]

Which exercises

[@alicecat989]

I think I have an hourglass figure too. I just have hip dips

[@amandawright4726]

I also have hip dips! They're so frustrating. What have you been doing to help with yours?

[@Beantealla]

I'm blown away, I'm a rectangle who's long waisted. I've always thought I was an apple. Going off to find your rectangle style tips now thanks 😉

Thank you thank you thank you! I've never known how to do this before and I thought I was short waisted with a big bust. I'm actually an hourglass and proportional. Thanks Erin!!!!

finally, someone who considers shoulder measurements

Ya

[@faithstreeter2748]

Bruh I always thought I was a rectangle then my sister and my mom were like most females in our family have hourglass shaped figures, this confirmed it I guess I'm just a skinny hourglass

[@acupoftaewithsuga4535]

My mom said I have a hourglass figure and she also said that most females in my family have an hourglass figure too

This is the most helpful video about this subject that I’ve seen. I always wondered if I was a pear or an hourglass but after hearing your description now I know that I am very much one and not the other lol

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm SO Glad you found this one helpful, Alexis! xo

[@dennineeacott8763]

Can you suggest how to best measure for selecting the rise of pants; 3, 5, or even 9.... I am 5 2ish and can’t find proper fitting pants when it comes to the rise

[@TheEmmaVee]

I'm 52 as well! Always have a terrible time finding pants. They fit in the waist but the length is all wrong. Getting every pair of jeans hemmed sucks too and is costly!

[@hibam9048]

I've always been mistaken for an hourglass but it turns out I'm actually a triangle (pear). This was very helpful, thank you

[@_ALONE4EVER_]

Oh wow, I either did my measurements wrong or I’m looking at this video telling me that I am a hour glass shape. I’m on the chubby side so measuring the hip and waist was quite difficult. Thank you for the really simple video, it was straight to the point which helped save time for me! 👍

[@Ven-7xv]

I don’t know your measurements and it’s very possible to be a plus size hourglass (just depends on where you gain weight) if you don’t think you are that might be the video trying to convince everyone that they are hourglass because that’s a compliment and it will make people like the video? Idk but it told me that I was when I don’t think I am…

[@lizcademy4809]

For plus size women, the 2", 4" 8" differences might not show the full picture.It would be better to work in per cents. Exaggerating my example ... a woman with a 22" waist and 34" hips has an extreme difference, but a woman with a 52" waist and 64" hips is less extremely shaped. The first is either triangle or hourglass, the second might be a rectangle.

[@janemuses3031]

Thanks Erin! I always assumed you measured the bust, waist and hips to determine body type so always thought I was pear (inverted triangle) shaped. But based on these measurements, I am actually hour glass - which made sense because that is what the mirror was telling me when I have clothes on. It was always confusing so thanks for clarification!

[@janemuses3031]

I meant triangle shaped and the tip about checking size measurements is a super tip!

[@sonjathomas6084]

Thank you for that information, this will also help me alter my sewing patterns because I just found out that I am short waisted, OMG! I never knew.

[@Gal_Tan]

I am an enigma. Lol S: 45.5" (But I am wide, so below shoulders I am: 49") B: 47" W: 39" H: 47"

[@indeeditiscirro]

Nana D. Hi 🙂 From your measurements alone, you seem like either a rectangle, apple or inverted triangle (what do you mean by "below shoulders"? Which part of you is 49 inches?) You have a high waist to hip ratio of 0.83 which is borderline apple-shaped, even though there is an 8 inch difference between your hips and waist. "Curvy" body shapes have waist to hip ratios of 0.76 and under. Your bust and hips are equal though, which would look good. It's best to measure your body in the mirror from one side to the other without including the full 360 degree measurement. That would show you the body shape that you look like from the front and therefore what body shape everyone perceives you as. I hope this helped!

Cause your all young enough to still be hour glass even 13..

You're still going through puberty so your measurements might change after a few years. I'd just measure again when you're 17 or 18

im hourglass and long waisted. in general i have like longer limbs as well so not rlly surprised

Thank you!! I am a short waisted rectangle!!!!! I always have known about the short waisted. I was about 20? and was told at a bridesmaid fitting. I am 60 ( that just happened still adjusting) now and I remember my Mom buying 1/2 size clothes . She would buy size 12 1/2 dresses which would be maybe an 8 now? Sizes were much smaller then.

[@melissaferguson7630]

Ok I’d love to figure out what I am: Shoulders- 46 Bust- 39 Waist- 35 Hips 47 🤔 My waist is def way smaller than my hips but it’s only 4” from my bust so I’m not sure if I’m hourglass or not?

[@ilakaizen4926]

Mine Shoulders: 44 Bust: 42 Waist: 36 Hip: 46 Im confuse too

[@inaballik2643]

Kinda similar for me. I'm confused. 39-35-28-37. Is it 8" difference between shoulders and waist to be an hourglass or 8" between bust and waist? Maybe I'm a mix between hourglass and inverted triangle, and you're a mix between an hourglass and a triangle? What do you think?

[@jenniferbastolla1197]

you are an hourglass! Upper measurement can be either shoulders or bust. Just imagine looking at your body face on- you would notice your overall frame as hourglass.

[@brandyk1889]

Normally my measurements are very similar (just had a baby so a little different now). In my experience, anything with sleeves I read as an hourglass, but sleeveless I read more triangle and try to dress accordingly.

[@ag6655]

I’m a rectangle and long waisted. It’s always difficult to try to look feminine dressing my body shape. Love your videos

[@doloressims5677]

The seamstress trick for measuring the natural waist is to tie a piece of elastic or ribbon around your waist - under your ribcage. Where that band migrates to - is your actual waist.

Victoria Taylor it does if you put the right measurements .

[@missmata18]

They really don’t. I put the same measurements in a couple and they all tell me different. Some tell me rectangle, some pear and even top hourglass. Those aren’t accurate because the shoulders matter more than the bust.

I've wider shoulders (then my hip) from one end to another end, but then when I measures the perimeter it's actually the same as my hips??

[@girlblogger1112]

Hunny I think bc the "hip part" is thicker than the "shoulder part" yk, because you have a butt and the butt is thicker than your shoulders.

[@igot7-lu]

Cause your butt adds cms lol my shoulder looks wider than hips too but when I measure it its only by 2cm cause my butt is round at the back xD

[@cheepes3d]

Great video, Erin! I always thought I was a triangle (pear shape), but when I measured, my shoulders were exactly the same as my hips. My bust is 2 inches less than shoulder/hip measurement and waist 7 inches less than bust. My waist has grown as I’ve aged. What am I now? Thanks!
